Bergenia (Bergenia cordifolia (Elephant's ears))

My huge clump in the back garden has had every flower eaten by flippin rabbits, nice to see at least the ones in the front have escaped.

Crikey, wouldnt think rabbits would eat them, they dont want the leaves then, or maybe they are left for the snails, lol. Mine are just flowering too, another pretty spring flower.

Me neither Dawn, all the flowers were in bud next day every one had been eaten:-(, put a picture on here and everyone said rabbit damage, they've never bothered with them before, think I need to invest in a shotgun,lol, they could have a few leaves if they leave the flowers:-(

What a shame, wonder why they've decided to visit your garden now. Have you found evidence of their visits, i.e droppings?
