Tall Jack in the Pulpit. These grow into big boys with a large green flower and distinctive vertical spadix held well above the foliage. This merits that overused word of awesome especially when it gets 5' tall and you are eye-to-eye with that intriguing flower. The showy brilliant red fruit cluster is most welcome in early fall.

Think of this as a woodland Salvia which blooms in the Fall. This Japanese jewel brings an unexpected and welcome shot of color to the shade garden in Fall with airy panicles to 3 or 4 feet holding zillions of small tubular blue-purple flowers. Something nice to look if you are overloaded on the reds-oranges-yellows classic colors. Our staff plant nerd Cindy reports that she loves this in her garden so there you have it for local testimonials.

A selection by a wildflower nursery in Virginia of this valued Eastern woodlander. Not the aggressive species found in commercial landscapes but one much more choice and selected forms are desirous. Some silvering to the leaves on this form - admittedly the variations can be subtle but more pronounced after a visit to the pot dispensary.

Good and vigorous hybrid between two excellent blue species, Corydalis flexuosa and C. elata. This will put on a show in spring into June with lots of vibrant blue, nicely scented flowers on reddish stems which stand above the foliage which looks somewhat like the result of a tryst between a maidenhair fern and a meadow rue. Perfect in the shade garden where it needs moisture. This will go fairly dormant in the dog days of summer but will start up again in early fall. We saw both parents of this hybrid growing and flowering on the same day in May of 2006 in their native haunts in Sichuan near the Wolong Panda Reserve.

A smaller Geum from the UK with flowers of a gentle soft yellow shot through with apricot veining. Our stock comes from the distinguished Hedgerows Nursery who bestowed us their plants of this upon their retirement and what a boon! It made all those farewells pints well worth the expense. A low grower well suited for growing near a path.

One of those captivating Chinese species. This has a neat stoloniferous habit sending out runners and making new bulbs so you soon have a grove of Lilies. Flowers white with dark spots with recurved petals in the classic "Turk's Cap" style. We love it.

One of the hardier Aloes or former Aloe. This will survive winters in warmer Zone 8 gardens making a multi-stemmed shrub with terminal spires of orange-yellow showy flowers. If a cold freeze occurs, this will be cut to the base but will rapidly regrow come spring. Best to mulch prior to such an event.

A rare species from northern Myanmar and adjacent Yunnan, this is even a rarer opportunity to purchase bulbs from seed collected in the wild by Bjornar Olsen. Nomocharis in cultivation live in the Summer of Love and welcome without reservation any pollen from any other Nomocharis nearby resulting in hybridity. These are direct wildlings and flowers vary a bit which is not uncommon in a population.

Another excellent selection shared with us by Jan and Marty, this has flowers with a reverse of rich purplish-pink and faces of lavender pink that are washed in white. Each petal is gently heart-shaped which is very fortunate when one considers the possibilities offered by other organs. And we will stop right there.

Saxifraga fortunei is very diverse with a wide range of leaf shapes, size and flower color. Makino, who was a preeminent Japanese botanist, assigned various varietal names to these different leaf types which isn’t widely accepted now. We like it it though. Small compact form with shallow rounded lobes and white flowers.

Great little frothy mound of silver foliage that deserves a place in the plant petting zoo. The yellow button-like flowers dance on wiry stems in late spring and early summer. Too cute. On the dry side. Thanks to David Mason and Susie Grimm of Hedgerows Nursery for sharing it with us.

Impressive hardy begonia collected by Ozzie Johnson on Emei Shan in Sichuan. This rhizomatous species looks tender as all get out but has overwintered in a number of Zone 7b gardens - admittedly not 7b for weeks at a time but still - heck yeah! Brilliant red undersides and a burnished upper surface to the leaves are meant to go with the white flowers. Some speculation that this is a natural hybrid with pedatifida but we know for sure it is a dandy. Mulch in winter.

Fabulous tough evergreen large shrub from a Randall Hitchin collection in Chile. Copious white flowers late August to October which provides the often underappreciated attribute of sound from the sheer variety and numbers of bees! Takes dry but fine with more water. Deer proof.

Speckled Wood-lily is common name as white flowers are lightly speckled in green and purple. The flowers are held in an umbel clustered atop stems up to twenty inches tall if the plant is in its happy place, The flowers are replaced by round black fruit. The tongue-like green leaves make a dense cover and this is gently rhizomatous creating a small carpet in time. Good soil in shade and reasonably moist. These are our own divisions and not bought-in wild collections.

A seedling found in the gardens at Pan Global Plants in England and named by the proprietor Nick Macer. This is a hybrid between two of the blue flowered Chinese species, C. flexuosa and C. elata that combines excellent vigor with blue scented flowers for moist shade to zone 6 at least. This was named by Nick for the conservative members of Parliament or "true blues". Nick is a heckuva plant hunter as well who could probably retire early if he moved to the States and had his own TV gardening show. Not only does he know plants but he has that damned charming accent and is way too good looking. Thanks to Ed Bowen for sharing this selection with us and who rivals Nick in everything but the accent.

Seed collected at 3200 meters in Sichuan in an open grazed small meadow area adjoining low scrub. Tightly clumping, deciduous and allied to Iris japonica but is something totally new. Small blue flowers are laddered down the stems in the leaf axils. This has baffled some of the top authorities on Chinese Iris both here in the US and in the UK which quite honestly makes us very happy. Nothing like introducing a species nova to quicken the pulse! We expect this to be hardier than the zone 6 we are giving it but are being our usual conservative selves until we learn differently from those of you who will try this in colder zones.

From Peter Korn in Sweden to Ed Bowen in Rhode Island to us in Port Townsend - an interesting study in anthro-assisted ornamental plant dispersal. Beautiful blue flowers with white throats opening from amethyst buds. This is much slower to increase than the flexuosa/elata group. Best in cool gardens. We mean temperature not plant palette because if you are shopping here, then interesting gardens is a given.

Unflowered plants from our seed collection, although attributes and geography suggest a likelihood of this being the species edulis due to widespread cultivation from pre-Columbian times thanks to the edible tubers. If this is edulis, expect 24 or more pink-tubed flowers with green-yellow throats in a fireworks umbel. Showy orange seeds in fall. This is a vining Alstroemeria relative and should be hardy to warm zone 7 especially with mulch. Likes a semi-shaded spot where it can twine to 10'.

The typically blue-flowered European species but from a great source. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed blue! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
