Another gorgeous introduction from Hugh Nunn whose nursery is in the village of Harvington. This has obvious Roscoea humeana in its parentage which contributes large flowers well-displayed on a stout plant. A light cream is the flower color and ours were initially but these same plants have become more yellow. Which is not a bad thing but curious. Even though this in the Ginger Family, it is not suitable for the Southeast as it likes cool nights.

A bold plant of 12' forming part of the species-dense broad-leaf forest margins on the incredibly steep slopes of a mountain previously not visited by westerners to our knowledge. It was a long day's climb which ended in the dark with rain and wind on a bare ridge hoping the tent didn't blow away with us in it. Fortunately, after 20+ miles and 5800' feet elevation gain, sleep came easy! Broad leaves with up to 14 leaflets held on petioles touched in red. Cream flowers and black fruit on dendritic panicles. Proceeds from this offering go to support the mission of Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy.

A very good, not scary, evergreen groundcover. 'Mariko' is a selection from a collection by Mikinori Ogisui, incredible plantsman and plant explorer, who named it for his wife. Judging by the graceful spidery flowers with showy pink sepals and white spurs and petals plus bronzy new growth, Mariko herself has it all going on.

This widespread little fern is of Scottish provenance where it is abundant and easily found in rock cracks and sundry centuries-old architectural features such as stone walls, stone bridges, stone follies and stone buildings that combine to make villages and gardens so damned picturesque especially when covered in ferns. The spores are covered by a bubble-like indusium which inspired the common name of Bladder Fern.

Fuchsia microphylla 'Variegata'

$18.00

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.

Paris quadrifolia

A European Trillium relative that forms small colonies in time by creeping rhizomes. Four-parted leaves and greenish flowers that look like an artistic, sculptural rendition influenced by recreational doses of psilocybin. These later give way to a black knob of seeds which are attractive in their own right. Our patch in our shade garden has increased to about 4' across and once it hits 10', we will feel like we have enough.

A frost-tender gesneriad from China formerly in the genus Briggsia. In the wild, this is found at low elevations growing on mossy rocks in moist shaded positions. This has comparatively big white flowers whose QR code pattern of yellow and red in the throat starts to make sense, telling you things, if you stare at it long enough. Great for the cool greenhouse or African Violet culture.

A curiosity found and named in Japan, this has long, crazy thread-like leaves on thin stems and will make a spreading, small mound which would hang over an edge if so sited. It can be staked up to get a bit of height which we like. No fruit or flowers on this Mulberry and don't grow this clone for silk production - the poor silkworms would starve!

Agapanthus inapertus subsp. hollandii 'Sky'

2500

$25.00

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.

Rhodohypoxis 'Candy Stripe'

1600

$16.00

A floriferous hybrid with good-sized pink flowers that makes a definite statement en masse - you have to like pink a lot or this is not for you. Subtly pale stripe on the midrib or keel of the petals is just a sweet bit of sugar frosting on this eye candy. Quickly makes a dense little clump with lots of late spring-early summer flowers. Similar and may be the same as 'New Look'.

Lilium rubellum

"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.

A very good form of the species collected by Dan Hinkley in China. All parts - leaves, scape or flower stem, flowers - larger than typically found in the species at least when compared to the 8 or 9 clones we grow. Fresh grass green leaves are marked in silver and the up to 20" + flower stems bears a snowstorm of simple white flowers with their diagnostic longer lower two petals which places this species in Section Irregulares. This will thrive in the moist shade garden but prefers light to bright shade.

Corydalis buschii

$16.00

Rare little offering from Siberia with very thin creeping rhizomes making a small ferny colony in light shade. One of the last to bloom of the tuberous species, this usually shows its mauve-pink small tubular flowers in May. Loves a woodsy soil which would make a Primrose happy. Very hardy. Don't be dismayed by the lack of roots that should be filling the pot as this is just not what they do. If dormant, you can separate the thin yellowish rhizomes and spread them out slightly pointing them in different directions for a bit speedier cover.

A hybrid seedling selection between Eucryphia glutinosa and E. cordifolia that showed up at Mount Usher Gardens in Ireland thanks to some discerning work done by the local pollinators. The deciduous E. glutinosa brings good hardiness and the E. cordifolia adds excellent flower and evergreen foliage. Uncommon in the trade. Tall narrow habit.

A sport of 'Jenny' found at Bressingham Gardens in England. This is a compact and dwarf double pink flowered perennial mound of delight. The main display is May-June but there is some rebloom clear into Fall. The double flowers are sterile so there is none of that pesky reseeding which can be an issue with Lychnis. Zone 6b and sun.

Fantastic little drought tolerant succulent that can eventually flow among stones like the deep waters of blue-green tropical seas. Cooling to the eye and a foliage color that is a harmonious counterpoint to other garden happenings. The white flowers on short stems are just right.

Candelabra Primrose. Staggering floral display of tiered rings of flowers arrayed up sturdy stems from 18" to 30" when living large in rich, moist soil and all of this above broadly sumptuous and lightly rumpled foliage. A swash of these always leaves one a bit short of breath with its beauty. Yours will be either vibrant fuchsia or tomato terracotta - a surprise awaits down the line.
