Left to Right (more or less):
Four Eremurus hybrids (foxtail lily): Orange, Yellow, Pink & White
Oxalis purpurea 'Garnet' - Evergreen (purple, actually) clover ground cover
Begonia luxurians - Palm leaf begonia. Why did I buy this? I already have one and I could have just taken some cuttings.
Acacia dealbata - Incredibly fast-growing evergreen mimosa. No, it's not very hardy. Yes, I've already found out the hard way. Here we go again...
Dyckia hybrid - Nice silver foliage. Not sure which species it's a cross of.
Alocasia x 'Portora' - This will eventually reach 8' if I'm lucky!
Luzula sylvatica 'Aurea' - Evergreen sedge that is a brilliant lime green.
Embothrium coccineum - I bought one two years ago to replace the one I bought two years prior to that, succumbing to the nasty freeze of Nov 2010. I have since decided that I want to have it growing in a different spot and put a loquat tree where it is. So I will be moving it, hoping it won't die, but in case it does, I now have another one to replace it.
Ranunculus ficaria 'Brazen Hussy' - This is invasive so I will keep it contained, but you can't beat its black foliage.
Lilium 'Juan de Fuca' - White & pink oriental lily
Dahlia 'White Lightning' - A white cactus dahlia
You have good taste! I bought the same Luzula and Begonia. I also got 2 Swan Island cactus Dahlias (Bed Head and Park Princess). Did you notice that Steppables is now selling Agaves? The irony. I bought agave Silver Surfer and tenufolia. My favorite purchase was a Bergenia from Dancing Oaks with iridescent purple leaves. I haven't seen anything like it before. It is called Eden's Dark Margin.
ReplyDeleteYea I think I'd rather try walking on hot coals!
DeleteThat Lily looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a long wait, but worth it I hope. I will definitely post pictures when it comes into bloom.
