If you see this for sale and have to have it, you might have a plant addiction problem. Spotted at Wincliff in Indianola, where cell phones don't work for plant searches. From the tag Urginea macrocentra "Hinkly collection from the Drakensberg. A bizzare tubular foliagd 'lily' with equally strange flowers arising atop separate stems cloaked by a frilled prophylactic-like membrane." Please disregard the messy path. I've been using my gardening time to seriously reduce the phyllostachys vivax (Running timber bamboo) grove. Soon, school will be out and whole days will be spent in the garden!
Sanguinaria canadensis multiplex
A great joy in the garden this year is that Fatsia polycarpa 'Needham's Lace' has survived and is putting out new growth.
Trevesia palmata 'Micholitzii' putting out new leaves. Can you see why a common name is Snowflake Aralia?
That crazy hirsute begonia, also from Windcliff plants at an early spring sale at Heronswood is growing like crazy! Below is Monadenium ritchiei
Darlingtonia californica
Sarracenia hybrid
Not much has changed in the danger gardenette since last time but I love passing by this area.
Foliage Follow-Up is hosted by Pam Penick at Digging each month on the day after bloom day to remind us of the important role foliage plays in the garden. Be sure to click over to her blog to see foliage that's tickling the fancy of gardeners this month.
