Flower Show

I went to the flower show at Homestead Gardens yesterday and took some photos. Here is a plant I hadn't seen before. It's called Nikko.














Here is what the University of Connecticut Extension has to say about it:
'Nikko' (perhaps the same as 'Nana') - A popular plant highly promoted in the last decade, 'Nikko' forms a neat, dense low mound or groundcover 2' tall and at least twice as wide. The blooms are abundant and pure white in spring, and the fall foliage can be a good red.
It was very beautiful.

After seeing corkscrew rush in Fine Gardening a little while ago, it's popping up everywhere. Here is a container with lots of it:
