| Evening Primrose grown from seed, it was open last night at 10:00 PM when I walked Cinnamon. |
Plants do not have to be in bloom to have a place in my garden. This time of year I realize how seriously I am into foliage.
 |
| Growing tip of smoke bush 'Golden Spirit' |
 |
| Sedum 'Matrona' |
This is the time of year when I realize how seriously big my collection of sedums truly is. Just a handful are pictured here. I really need to do an entire week of blog posts on them!
 |
| By far, my fav veronica, veronica 'Eveline' The bee's are really working her over the last couple days, although it has been in bloom since mid-July and shows no sign of stopping yet, and I haven't deadheaded it either. |
 |
| Ligularia japonica. This needs a fancy name! The foliage is so incredible. This plant has only 4 leaves and really hasn't increased since I first planted it, but just this tiny amount of wow it puts out is pretty special I think I just don't "get" ligularia. I probably should be moving it, I just not sure where. |
 |
| Sedum 'Xenox' |
 |
| Ajuga 'Chocolate Chips' |
 |
| A messy little group of sedums that languish by my 'Blue Star' juniper. The color play is nice, though. |
 |
| This sedum in my cactus pot I do not believe is winter hardy, sedum dasphyllum. |
 |
| May be sedum 'John Creech' |
 |
| A species weigelia, the bloom is pathetic. I keep it around for the red stems and the foliage alone! |
 |
| Sedum 'October Daphne'; it has a couple sports. On the left the variegated center of a creamy yellow retaining the red edge, and on the right just the creamy yellow. I have separated out the left sport by taking a tip cutting and there is no reversion. I hesitate to try the right sport, thinking it may be a lethal variation. Maybe I should get on that anyway. It has come back this way every year for 3-4 years from just about nothing. Maybe it is more stable than I think. |
