Tiny little gem with bright variegated leaves and teeny yet brilliant cerise flowers. This would look smashing in a mixed container of summer annuals. Someday we'll do an Elvish Fantasy garden with plants of diminutive scale that are cute beyond their physical proportion and this would be one of the centerpieces.

For those sick freaks who want to be cold year round, this is one blizzard that sticks around during the summer and makes way for the real thing in Winter. Darrell Probst selection of this delightful Eastern woodland native dusted with variegation from light green to white like a miniature chlorophyll snow storm. Slowly spreading and with small yellow flowers in Spring. 

Originally collected as Thymus drucei amidst the limestone barrens of County Clare, Ireland by Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy board member Cody Hinchliff. A hotspot of botanical diversity where unique climate and geology combine to create a pocket of delightful rarities often found in higher elevations. These are limited to far Western Europe more generally and have the usual fragrant rounded leaves of Thyme on creeping red stems. The flowers set them apart however being a good bit larger than the foliage and appearing in such quantities as to almost entirely obscure the latter. Forms a small mat or clambering clump. 

A cracking plant originally collected in the Lydenburg District of Mpumalanga of South Africa and grown for years in the treasure house of Kirstenbosch Botanic Garden. This comes naturally from a fairly cold location and these plants have decent hardiness for an Agapanthus. Upright gray-green leaves lead the eye up and up to over 40" where the pale sky blue flower heads with large drooping individual florets are captivating. Not an easy plant to obtain here in the States.

"Otome-Yuri" maiden lily, is possessed of all the delicate charm and beauty the name suggests. A rarity endemic to the Tohoku region of Japan and much celebrated both locally and abroad. The flowers are of a sublime soft pink (the picture is a bit deceiving here) and the plant stays relatively small at 1-2ft. I love her, please care for her as I do. Full sun and well drained soil reminiscent of its alpine home.
