Early Form This jumpstarts the Solomon Seal season by being among the very first to start growing in spring. Dense clumps of gracefully thin stems with an instinctual air of culture to the presentation of foliage and white flowers – not unlike the plantsman, educator, author, presenter, tour guide – ok, we’ll stop with the resume of the tasteful Cole Burrell who shared this with us.
One of those 'Botanical Blue' flowers which in this case means a dark lavender with a splotched yellow throat. Fairly rounded crenate leaves tie the bow on this hybrid Gesneriad bred by John Boggan.
This plant smells so good in flower that it should be illegal or barring that, taxable. This could help with budget shortfalls because it is frankly addictive. One sniff and the response is "Ooh! Do you have this for sale?" Southwest native remarkable hardy with grape koolaid fragrant white flowers in masses.
A note on identity: This and other pink blotched small-leaved Philadelphus with an effusive odor are likely P. maculatus despite their having been widely distributed as P. madrensis by us and others in the past
Ahh just another native Saxifragaceae you say, and shove it under the table where you don't have to look at it too often. That is until, one day you see emerging from the Marianas trench of the greenhouse, the yellow bristling maws from a pack of some benthic sea monsters. On second glance these resolve into the intricately grotesque little spires of flowers from this unassuming creeping herb. "We gotta propagate this" quickly follows in your internal monologue and you note this moment for future sales purposes. A stoloniferous lover of moist shade.
This wild-collected Sichuanese Polygonatum has the province's signature added spice in comparison to the usual Polygonatum prattii. These grow to only about half the size (3-4") and have attractive red-purple stems, and new leaves suffused in the same peppercorn hue. No chewing required to experience delightful tingling, in fact please don't. Quite hardy, and happy in a shady spot with decent moisture, small pink vanilla-scented flowers.
