The first 3 are from today. #1 is Paris polyphylla. #2 is Arisaema ringens. This plant is about 4 yrs old. #3 is Myosotis palustris Unforgettable. #4 is from last weekend, Calanthe discolor. It is supposedly marginally hardy here, but sailed through last winter without a blink. Has increased nicely in size over 4-5 yrs. #5 is a cute dwarf polygonatum with bright pink flowers, no taller than 5 inches. Forms a short fine-textured groundcover in shade. Mine's only a couple years old, so I'm not sure how effective it will turn out as groundcover, but so far I really like it. |
