Endurance, and a spring that arrives anyway

A cluster of five-petaled pink florets on a red stalk, held above thick, cabbage-like evergreen leaves.

Care. Plant in part shade with ordinary soil; old leaves bronze in a hard frost and can be cut in spring.

A note. Gardeners call it pigsqueak because a rubbed leaf makes a small, rubbery squeal.

Or perhaps
