Our long-ago (1997) collection of this widespread in nature but poorly represented in cultivation Rhododendron species. This has little to do with its appearance as the petite indumented evergreen leaves and delicate blushing white flowers create quite a handsome overall appearance on a manageably sized plant to boot. Their quickness to bloom and adaptability to various light regimes only add to its garden-worthiness. Unfortunately the hardiness leaves something to be desired, may be doable in a low zone 8 but 8b and up to be safe.
A collection from the Northernmost part of the range (Arizona) for this Salvia which reaches all the way down to Central America or just into Northern Mexico depending on where you draw taxonomic lines. An evergreen species, though best cut back in our climates, with hot pink flowers that are gently fuzzy on the upper lip like a pubescent teen, only attractive and charming rather than disconcerting and in need of guidance. Perennial in at least Zone 8 if not slightly lower and can be used as an annual in colder climates.
Native to Chile, this is in the Solanaceae and will become a 4'-6' evergreen shrub with drooping and narrowly tubular yellow flowers with long exserted stamens. The foliage is a bit unpleasant when crushed - and only then - which makes us think it will be deer proof. Has proved hardy outside in our PT frost pocket for a good decade now, may get cut back by the fiercest winters but bounds back quickly. Good for a sunny position and was given the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
A collection by plantsman Philip MacDougall from 10,500 feet in Taiwan of this excellent Squirrel's Foot fern which is one of the hardiest species growing up to 11,500 feet. Typically this is epiphytic on trees or epilithic on rocks with the takeaway for cultivation success being good drainage. This has easily handled 10F in a stumpery. Previously sold as Davallia cf. trichomanoides, before ace plant hunter Nick Macer gave us a tip on the correct ID, thanks Nick!
This is the Award of Garden Merit form of the species which has a superior presentation in its fronds which are blessed with a long terminal pinnae. And really, who doesn't want a long terminal pinnae? The typical species is a familiar sight growing on the trunks of our native Bigleaf Maples here in western Washington but this form is rare.
