One of the few plants the damn yaks don't eat up in the Tibetan Plateau which explains why we were able to collect seed of this herbaceous honeysuckle relative. Bold leaves with absolutely nothing flowers in June which yield smashing clusters of marble-sized red fruit.

White Velvet Spiderwort. This gets great cobwebby silver-white foliage with light purple flowers nestled in the leaf axils. Likes it on the drier side thank goodness and is far hardier than we thought. This overwintered in the ground outside at plant maestro Brian McLaughlin's garden just down the road at 10 degrees one winter "although I mulched it" he hastened to add. The biggest issue for us is not so much the cold but adequate winter drainage because we can get some rain. It resents water-logging but is really quite easy and just very eye-catching as it looks more house plant the garden plant.

Toad Lily. Our collection from Asia This toadie was found on the lower flanks of the mountain we were exploring where it favored openings in the forest where it got dappled light and a brief bit of direct sun. Distinct softly haired velvety leaves with white flowers ruby spotted on the reflexed tepals curving down below the jester's cap of similarly colored naughty bits.

Seldom available central Oregon to northern California sessile species that is just dynamite. Big white flowers with petals standing straight up from the lightly mottled leaves and producing to varying degrees, a sweet lemon scent. Seed-grown plants by us which have previously flowered so quite safe to say these are flowering size.

A lesser known cousin to society garlic that may not wow you from afar but get to know it and you may be surprised. This perennial South African bulb sports narrow blade like foliage and interesting flowers almost like a miniature daffodil with small strap-like green outer petals surrounding a pumpkin orange central corolla with a texture not unlike a rubber eraser. Sweetly fragrant in the evenings, drought tolerant, and deer resistant, what's not to like?

Wheel Tree. Our collection from Taiwan of this indispensable broadleaf evergreen that usually is a small tree in gardens. Very clean and attractive, always the first criteria to be considered whether shopping for plants or romance, the Taiwan forms are regarded as better garden plants with better foliage. Surprisingly nice green flowers which lack petals or sepals but have dozens of stamens densely arranged in a wheel pattern. In the family Trochodendraceae, which it shares only with Tetracentron sinense (which we have also collected), this is also found in China and Korea. We have ours in full sun where it has handled with aplomb, drops to 10F in winter.

One of the classic broad leaf evergreen small trees, this grows quite slowly and will fill the evergreen shrub niche for many years. This has small apetalous (that would be no petals so you can guess at the wow factor) chartreuse flowers in spring. Just a great Asian plant requiring decent moist soil.

Uncommon and choice dwarf Thyme we introduced to the US when we brought this little gem home from an alpine nursery in Scotland. A very fine plant of compact habit and the expected profusion of flowers which while not red, are a vividly intense neon fuchsia-infused magenta. Find that on a paint chip!

We have just a scant few of this dwarf form of the Tasman Mountain Pepper which we presume to be from an exposed high elevation site on Mt Wellington. This is ideally suited to rock gardens where it will make a slow and low ball of reddish stems bejeweled with white flowers and oh so peppery black fruit. We were given this plant by the late Michael Wickenden of Cally Gardens in Scotland. Possibly the first introduction to the US. Small plants of this small rarity.

An eastern US and Canadian species, this is the white expression of the familiar Red Trillium. This easy pedicellate species has a dark ovary which is a nice bit of punctuating contrast to the white flower. It's the little things in life, isn't it? Will hybridize with species like sulcatum.

Our collection from Taiwan of this species which was formerly ascribed to T. stolonifera but is now merged into the variable T. formosana. Good clumper via - you guessed it - stolons with mottled leaves especially on new growth. Upright stems with light purple flowers heavily spotted with darker purple. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Collection.

An unusual color form of a hardy, perennial, evergreen, deer-resistant South African bulb? No florid adjectives needed, just the bare bones make this appetizing enough (not to mention that garlicky odor). Soft pinkish-brown strap-like petals surrounding a burnt orange center make for a subtle and yet distinct flower. This is one society garlic whose parlor I would definitely drink an aristocratic cuppa in.

Bestowed the unflattering common name of "Least Trillium", it's charming appearance tends to disagree, though to be fair to old folkways it is indeed one of the smallest trillium species. One of the stalked trilliums featuring a trio of slightly undulate white petals sometimes tinged with pink subtended by semi-rolled sepals. Yet another case of size matters not.

Unlike the common folk of Tulbaghias this "society garlic" got the white-tie message and is rather the more fetching for it. Blushing pink buds opening to pure white or pale-pink flowers making for a picturesque plant I'd be happy to ask for a dance at the next gala, if only it wasn't for that impolite garlicky smell....well beggars for hardy South African bulbs can't be choosers I guess.

This is a lovely thing we received from Ellen Hornig at the late Seneca Hills Nursery in New York where she was able to grow this thanks to deep lake-effect snow cover. Looking perfectly intermediate between Dierama and Crocosmia, this is the perfect choice if you are wanting a soft pink Crocosmia but can't find one.

Our rarely offered native west of the Cascades from the Fort Lewis/Spanaway area just south of Tacoma down into northern Oregon. These are darn nice plants we grew from seed. Small sessile white flowers atop mottled foliage.

This native Afghani is unrivalled among Thalictrum for textural achievement and presentation of foliage. A diaphanous haze of small gray-green leaflets makes this well worth growing despite the insignificant flowers. Normally we insist on nice flowers but this foliage woos one and all, lasting long after any bloom.

Very cute dwarf with more floral punch than expected from a plant a mere 8"-12" tall. White powder-puff flowers go on for weeks and are held nicely above maidenhair foliage. This Japanese selection of a Taiwan mountain species correctly suggests growing in the rock garden but is also perfect for that small spot begging for something perfect.

This rarity was collected by Crug Farm near Hualien in eastern Taiwan and has the largest flowers of all the Crug Farm Tricyrtis at over 2" across and so they Asian-named it for its whopping big flowers. Pale flowers heavily spotted in maroon with a slight yellow throat. Layers of flowers on lax stems from Jul-Nov.

This pale yellow Trillium is an attractive species in the sessile flowered group. Nicely mottled leaves are especially pronouced in spring becoming more muted as the season progresses. A shade garden without Trilliums is just a yawning chasm of emptiness and need.
