Morning all,
Kwanjin,
I found a Blue Flax at a place near me. This lady sells perennials from her home. She didn't have the Scarlet Flax..she showed me her own plant in her garden and said she just loves it. Thanks for peaking my interest. I also bought a Shooting Star (Dodecatheon meadia).. Every year I buy a few things from her. The best part is, her prices are reasonable..and no tax.

At another garden place I bought another Japanese Painted fern..as I can't see any growth on the one I have had for years in my hosta garden.
I found this plant too..no name on it..cleark didn't know the name so I brought it home and posted it on our Plant Identification forum. Boy the people who follow that thread are so fast. Two peole ID'ed it right away.
Here it is..interesting colouring. In doing research it seems it may be more of a houseplant..so I will keep it in a pot on the deck.
Gynura Purple Passion or Purple velvet Plant
