I've never seen them before. Even though my sole objective has been to grow edible plants in my small square foot gardens, you've got me thinking about how to incorporate more esoteric varieties in gardens.

Canada. I took photos and found your site by looking for similar photos on line.
Searches I did for unusual nasturtiums didn't give me any information. Thank you for providing names. They were beautiful in the baskets and looked like marigolds and maybe chrysanthemums. I will try to get my photos on line somewhere.

Truly, some fantastic plants here. I'm glad to have found your blog (and am a Holy Cross alum, so I know Worcester well!). Good luck with the garden this year. Spring will be here soon!

I've been looking for seed of that Gomphrena this spring and haven't had any luck…time to start checking out the online seed sellers.

I love the way the flowers twist up as they die. Fascinating.

This year I have seed chilling for their hybrid cousins the candy lily – they promise to be rainbow colored blackberry lilies. I'm very excited.

Just a note. The 'blackberries' aren't fruit, they just resemble them. Instead they are very shiny seeds.

Blackberry lilies. Check.

Black pearl peppers. Double check.

The rest of your list looks so interesting. I will have to check the plants out,

I grew it last year in with some lime hostas, 'Fragrant Bouquet', I believe and Stewardia. They were a knock out everybody wanted to know what they were.

They didn't look like much until August, even with a 10 week head start in the green house.

This year I've got them again plus a variety called 'Pairie Fire' and 'Embers'.
