A Chilean collection of this narrow-endemic shrub of the pea family locally known as mayo, though with none of the plainness of its homonymic counterpart. This boasts the lovely elongated golden bells one loves the genus for but adds in evergreen foliage, and of a richly lustrous dark green no less. This of course comes with the caveat of less-than-hardiness, with those plants grown in the UK favoring mild coastal spots, though the genetics of this batch have yet to be winter tested. A lovely bit of exotica for the adventurous type or beneficiary of the Bay clime.
Sweet little groundcover whose double white flowers resemble fluffy bits of white popcorn strewn on the leaves. Perfect underplanting for other shade plants to pop up through and great between stepping stones. Gently spreading and not hard to keep in bounds. Darn near perfect.
Fern fans we are, fern experts we are not, but we continue to chip away at the imposing taxonomic massif of Pteridophyta in hopes of becoming somewhat conversational in Fern. Currently, we can ask the equivalent of where the restroom is and order beer when talking Asian ferns. This is a creeping fern with long, thin rhizomes ideally suited for weaving through shallow moss on shaded rock faces with small orbicular-ovate evergreen leaves. This should be reasonably hardy as Acer griseum was growing a short distance away.
(Apologies for the second change in species, the limits of species in this group of Lepisorus aren't fully clear, and L. pyriformis having been only recently published is not included in the Flora of China though it fits better than the previously used L. rostratus)
Very good plant in the upper echelon of perennials and highly valued for its mid summer blooms of thickly textured intriguing yellow flowers on the terminals of the stems. These get nice broad leaves on herbaceous stems that in shape are not unlike a Hydrangea. Imposing at maturity.
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.
Tufty Southwest U.S. native that is every bit as drought tolerant as it looks. Thinner blades than other species lending it a grass-like texture that belies the architectural spires of white flowers that can double the size of the foliage for an impressive 6-7' display. A sleeper cell ready to deliver unexpected wham in your xeric landscape.
