a forum for woodland gardeners
First year bloom on Trillium rivale:
Seed sown January 2007, germinated Spring 2008. To keep the voles out, I plunged the pot into the garden soil and mulched. The plants seem to do very well. They eventually grow roots through the drainage holes and into the surrounding soil.
Hi all,
I have a question about trees. I've posted this question on the SRGC forum too, but I'd like as many opinions as possible:
The first Epi's are in flower here :D :D :D
E. x versicolor 'Cherry Tart'
E. x warleyense (I suspect this is E. x warleyense 'Orangekönigin', like the one on the next pic...but I'm not sure, so until I'm sure I'll keep it named as the pure hybrid)
E. x warleyense 'Orangekönigin'
and a very young plant of E. x youngianum 'Freckles' Cc. 950080 (2 last pics)
One of the first woodlanders to flower here:
Ypsilandra cavaleriei
The following posts from spring 2010 will help kickstart this topic as we head towards spring 2011.
Two photos of Iris cristata 'Sam's Mini', a low growing and floriferous variety found by Sam Norris of Kentucky.
I have been selecting out my best Asarum maximum with silver leaves so I can propagate them. I cant wait to see how much better they will look next year they seem to get better and better with each new leaf.
Here are a few of my Begonia talienis 'marbled leaf form'. They are getting better and better every month it is a shame winter is coming. Now I have to wait to select the best ones to cross.
I have a pot of this lovely plant and I'm considering where to place it. I have plenty of woodland areas, but I also have some shady areas around the house, and a lot of borders along the 800 plus feet of stone wall.
Apropos of nothing really, but sort of interesting...
From a quick google, it seems there are a staggering number of mislabelled photos/plants out there, that are claimed to be Lysimachia lichiangensis, but appear instead to be various yellow-flowered Lysimachia spp. (often L. punctata). :o (This, even from some nurseries! ???)
