This flower has appeared in the garden as a welcome distraction from anything else that might be going on and a reminder that the earth will spin on, carrying out the Lord's instruction to be fruitful and multiply, no matter what we manage to do to it. This stuff is bergenia, and heaven knows how it got into the borders of my lawn, just in front of the camellia. 'Pigsqueak' and 'Elephant's ears' it's apparently called, so symbolically it introduces not just colour and delight but an entire, if small, menagerie.
