A collection from our friends at Keeping it Green and Chimacum Woods of this thin bladed Iris named for the great plant collector George Forrest from whose collections it was originally described. From the same group as Iris sibirica which in my opinion contains some of the nicest garden Irises to be found with their medium size and plentiful flowers that toe the line of elegant and flouncy. This is the yellow form of the species which also comes in a near-black color, you could plant them together to warn off garden predators hungry for your valued plants.
This curious plant was bestowed personally (in the form of cuttings) upon Kelly and Sue by the great Rhododendron master of Glendoick in Scotland, Peter Cox who had it growing out of a stump. The flowers are very much like petrocharis, though richly pink as opposed to the white or blush. The obvious similarities end there however as this is not a small dwarf like petrocharis but instead gets a few feet high with longer and larger leaves, of a texture and color very similar to petrocharis. We aren't sure who the other parent was but Peter chose wisely as this is a first rate Rhody.
An unusually deeply colored selection of this Eastern US native dwarf Iris. Despite its Yankee origins this one has taken up with the enemy inheriting the name of noted British botanophile Collingwood 'Cherry' Ingram. What can we say the Anglo-saxon can't help but claim credit for what isn't theirs. Grows to just a couple inches high, dark purple flowers as big or bigger than the foliage
These are cutting-grown from a plant Steve Hootman found growing in a garden in Philadelphia where it was defying conventional wisdom as to its hardiness. Being a savvy sort of fellow, he snagged a few cuttings thinking this might prove to be very useful. We think so too. While we haven't trialed this one out, our wild collection of a different form of the species is doing well. So many plants, so little space. If you're looking for a small-leafed evergreen creeper that will cling to rocks or a wall, then this might be just the ticket.
Seed-grown plants of this relatively newly introduced Rhododendron species originally collected by Jens Nilsen. Everything we get indirectly from Jens is exquisite and this is no exception. Large glossy leaves covered in thick hair set it apart from its brethren, and the large white flowers in mid-spring want nothing to do with averages either. Growing beautifully in a local Poulsbo garden, and likely to form a 6-10ft plant in time.
For once the embarrassingly long succession of names appended to this plant before arriving on what we now believe to be the correct one happened before we broadcast them online. Unfortunately that means you all have been kept waiting for far too long! All the time we were haunted by Flora of China keys for Lysimachia, Pseudolysimachion, and Veronicastrum these were gracefully waving their long tails of lavender-blue flowers out in the garden tantalizing. Very similar in appearance to our North American Veronicastrums but with longer and slightly larger flowers in the aforementioned blue-to-purple tones. Seemingly new to cultivation outside of China!
Yet another venerable member of the legion of incredible South African bulbs. This one likes it arid and with as little frost as can be managed, but it isn't uncommon to see them in pot culture among xeric specialists, just bring them indoors when they are in their winter dormancy. Incredibly uniquely textured leaves ridged and bumpy like an exotic lizard in muted tones of purple-brown. The flowers provide quite the contrast to the dour prehistoric foliage, happy little candelabras of candy-floss pink!
Fantastic little plant from South Africa which used to be Aster natalensis but is now in the genus Felicia. We got this from a Scottish alpine nursery in Scotland and know of a rock gardener in northern Norway who raves about it. Tight clumps with blue flowers with a yellow button in June-July. Very hardy. First introduced to the US by Far Reaches Farm.
