Some fun plants !

Post by doublemom2 »

Arisaema costatum is looking particularly wonderful right now... and it's tail (can't see it in the picture) is about 20" long.

Athyrium 'Frizelliae' has been kind of a disappointment, but still worth growing because I don't have anything else quite like it. It doesn't have the tatting on all the fronds, just a few :(

Campanula 'Dickson's Gold' is growing in with black mondo grass.. makes a nice bright contrast in my shade garden :)

Thanks everyone. My general rule is that if my neighbors have a particular plant, then I don't. Then again, all of my neighbors rate a ZERO on the 1-10 gardening excitement scale, so that gives me a lot of leeway LOL!

As I say, the stranger, the better :)
