Coral Bell has been here a long time, I do not know if it ever had a name. If it did it is long forgotten. All plants in picture are divisions of same plant.

This coral bell was around before they started growing the more fancy leaf varieties, so it was grown for the flower's

It is also a hummingbird magnet.

Beautiful pictures. I love the contrast of the coral bells in front of the hosta. Very striking. I also admire your expertise in taking the pics. They are very good.
