Day 179: The silver-blotched leaves of Brunnera "Jack Frost" fairly glow in morning light, and although its flowers resemble those of the forget-me-not, it is an unrelated genus. It is delightfully hardy and non-invasive (unlike the aforementioned forget-me-nots), and is a rewarding addition to any shady flower bed, providing a double reward of dainty flowers and attractive foliage. Mine was a gift from my botany partners and lives at the end of my carport where it only catches a few hours of sun in the early morning.
