Yes, it is the beginning of the month but I always forget the final Friday of the month when Danger invites everyone to share their current favorites so I'm sharing them now instead.

Brugmansia 'Snowbank' has been pretty stingy with it's flowers this season but who cares with foliage like that?

When the sun shines through the foliage of Begonia 'Gene Daniels,' it's glorious.  I've rooted a cutting from this big plant to hold over winter.

New to me and just blooming now is Hemiboea subcapitata.  Common name is Glossy False Sinningia

It was the glossy foliage of this Chinese native that caught my eye but flowering at this time of year is pretty swell too.  To learn more look here.

 Unfortunately, at the bottom of the order screen, a little message popped up saying that I could order  more plants without increasing the shipping charge.  It only made sense to order a few more things unavailable locally, right?  Athyrium 'Godzilla,' Equisetum giganteum 'El Tabacal' and a couple of others filled out the order.  All arrived well watered and looking remarkably good considering their heat torture.
