After we were done at Rotary, we headed to Stoughton to do some shopping at The Flower Factory. We ran into Brent Horvath of Intrinsic Perennial Gardens who was also doing some shopping and had a short chat. No pictures, but a few things followed me home:
Achillea ageratifolia
Achillea x wilczeckii
Chelonopsis yagiharana
Clematis hexapetala 'Mongolian Stars'
Iris sauveolens
Liatris microcephala
Oxalis crassipes
Rabdosia longituba
Salvia pachyphylla
I've visited and enjoyed Rotary Gardens numerous times but never in the fall. You've captured some very interesting plants in this post. Pinus strobus 'Mini Twists' was of special interest to me as I have it on my list of wants for next spring. I really love the enthusiasm and desire to experiment which is obvious throughout the gardens! Larry
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry! I've seen 'Mini Twists' on a number of occasions and always think I need to add it to my gardens and then forget all about it until the next time I see it. It's a really cool pine. Although I'm a perennial grower and not an annual grower, I LOVE gardens with annual heavy themes and plantings, especially when they're used in new ways. It always makes me wish I had the budget for larger and more diverse annual plantings.

ReplyDeleteThe original, alluded to as a F1 half breed, is better than the guardians. Be that as it may, succeeding ages of plants developed from seed spared from a F1 plant will in general haphazardly return to the qualities of the first ingrained predecessor plants.vladimir vrbaski republika
