Typically a white-flowered Tasmanian native evergreen tree, this pink version was found in 1984 by Ken Gillanders. Must have been jaw-dropping as the plant was 65' tall although the tallest in cultivation is perhaps 25'. Serious authorities have it hardy zones 7-10 but we'll say Z 8-10 and best sheltered from freezing/drying wind. Bees love this adding kinetic beauty plus the species accounts for the majority of honey production in Tasmania. These are small cutting grown trees.
A rare dwarf Geranium with sizeable pink flowers. Perfect for the rock garden or special nook. This stays very short - just inches high - making a dense little mass of attractive foliage above which is displayed the very nice pink flowers. Quite tough despite its size.
An ethereal selection of this hardy true Ginger species whose pale green leaves are brazenly marked with bold swatches of white. Had to use ethereal and brazen in the same sentence - I don't know why. Rarely do you get to enjoy the white ground level flowers but oh such foliage!
A U.S. native Iris that can compete with the Asian big dogs of the Iris pack. This boggy little beaut hails from the Southeast and grows alongside pitcher plants in partially sunny seeps that must be quite spectacular to behold. 2 foot foliage goes dormant in the winter but the memory of the elegantly slender flowers will carry on.
One of the tall verticillate species in China, this was growing among the branches of a striking shrubby Symplocos just below the mountain summit. The leaves on this species are arranged in whorls like the spokes of a tire. At the leaf base are clustered white and green flowers which turn into red fruit. We like it. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering.
A truly fantastic mondo grass, and unlike Kelly you're gonna be very hard-pressed to make me say those words again. Umbraticola itself is easily among the supreme members of the genus with its glossy blue fruit, lacey foliage, and extremely compact form. This selection adds the eye-popping lemon lime combo of bright solid yellow and dark green streaking that is fairly stable and easily purified when it goes South. You could bottle this up, carbonate it and sell it under an ever changing assortment of test-audience approved brand names though you wouldn't make much money given the glacially slow pace by which it multiplies. Good thing we never were ones for mass marketing.
