We love this little wild Chinese blueberry so much that we have exhausted all our (and worthy peers') deductive abilities on trying to put a name to it's button-cute face. Alas we must continue putting out sadly desperate ads in the classifieds in hope of a lead that will result in a future rendezvous. In the meantime we will share tales of our infatuation in physical form with you, our loyal listeners. The diminutive size of the overall plant pairs nicely with the relatively large and thick leaves of roughly spoon shape which are some of the most attractive in the genus. The flowers held in the leaf axils are a dead-ringer for the pneumatic tops of jellyfish, semitransparency and all. Epiphytic in the wild and hardiness is just a guess for now but we will let you know when we get a good test on it.
A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering
Scented Solomon Seal. Our collection from 10000' of this vigorous form of the species identified for us by Dr. Aaron Floden. We have other collections of this species which get just 3" tall but this collection gets near 3x that. The expected soft-pink bells are scented which is an endearing, if subtle, attribute.
Here in Port Townsend Coastal Californians are like the bogey man haunting the dreams of NIMBY types and work-a-day home searchers alike. However in our rain-shadow deertopia, plants resistant to roaming teeth and the occasional drought are like affordable multi-unit housing. Thus we come to be selling this Cali native, and a prostrate large-flowered form to boot. The thick evergreen (in mild winters) foliage forms a tough mat producing odd buds that secrete a sticky gum that transform into a carpet of large yellow daisies in Summer, providing an adaptable full-sun groundcover.
