Leopard's Bane
by Amy Hiusser
(Wingham, Ontario, Canada)
I always look forward to the Leopard's Bane (Doronicum) coming up in the spring, because it is one of the first non-bulb plants that blooms in my flowerbeds and it brightens everything up with its bright yellow colour. This year was no exception, and I had a wonderful sunny show.
