I couldn't resist taking this picture. I wish I could get the resolution sharper for this one. This has to be one of the most spectacular leafed hosta!! Easily one of my favorites. When I walk by this hosta I couldn't help from staring at it. David. Registry - http://www.hostaregistrar.org/detail.ph...

This is one of the most unique perennials. Leaf like an umbrella, snake skin stem, and speaking of snake, a flower like a cobra head! This Arisaema Taiwanensis is definately worth growing. Seems hardy too.

Thank you for your nice comments. Several years I climbed up on my roof and took some pictures of some of my hostas from that viewpoint. They are much more developed now. I hope to do that again in a few weeks after all the hostas unfurl. It will be titled "Hostas From The Sky- II"

I e-mailed Reldon some pictures of my garden and he suggested that I share this photo of my Touch Of Class.

Wow! I really like your choice of perennials, I too am creating a woodland garden. I really like that hosta Queen Josephine, the color is so vibrant! Please send pictures when your garden fills out. Hostas blend so well with the woodland.

Thank you so much for your nice comments. Ok....here is a picture of the backside of the garden, showing a different perspective. My back is fine now. LOL.

Thank you everyone! I appreciate that, and so does my back. I will definately send another picture in a month or so, I don't know how much those types of plants will fill out by then. The spring here is still quite cold, not as cold as in the east and mid-west, sorry you guys :( . I did have some fr...

I spent a good portion of this springtime, landscaping a woodland garden in my front yard. You can see before and after pictures. I started after a wind storm, raking out the debris under the cedar. Then I dug out the grass. I then replaced the poor topsoil and dug in stepping stones. Heavy stepping...

Happy spring everyone! I wanted to share one of my favorite varieties. This is a pic of 'War Paint'. The leaves are just unfurling.

my apologies...Pandora is a girl. I don't know why I said that. Right now she is very uncomfortable with all the heat if summer.

David.

She is a Himalayan.

Here is a picture of Pandora laying on my son, Michael's lap. She looks so cute there, I had to take her picture!

Here is the flower. It is old and rather spent.

It is purple near the soil line. It is hard to take a picture of since it is hidden by the leaves. I will try.

It is labeled Arisaema speciosum. The leaves are cool!

Actually I think those bulbs really come in those colors. You know like technology doubles each year... so does hybridizing. Where can I purchase those varieties Rox? I like the one with the face

David.

I wonder if that could be streaking? If you find out please tell me, I have a few of these plants also. Thanks

I live near Seattle. Good question as far as where to find double trilliums. I purchased mine from a fellow garden club member during a fundraising sale. I believe some specialty garden sites on the web might have some. Sorry I can't be anymore help.

David.

I wanted to share this one. I wonder if this will clump any bigger?

This one of my favorite woodland plants. The flowers are just gorgious!
