Albert: I hope you come back here, because I had no luck leaving a comment on your blog…it kept rejecting my info. I’ll be posting soon on berms, with links to past posts on the subject. Keep checking, it will show up soon.

I had a dark-colored Euphorbia in a pot that reverted to green. I think we all deserve our money back! Well, maybe you don’t, if you have figured out the secret. Hope you had fun at the sale, tout Portland seems to be going, as you said! I think Persicaria is lovely but I am afraid of it. I just bought a Vancouveriana that may act the same, whoops. Lovely blooms and the sea oats count for SURE!

So I’m not the only one with E. blackbird acting fussy? Well that makes me feel both better and worse. I guess we’re not the perfect climate for them. I have one out of three that’s performing okay, but the foliage is nothing like the lovely maroon it was when I got it last year. I must have some of those sea oats. I’m on the lookout for them at the sale this weekend.

Loree: I had a tough time getting the sea oats established, but now they are throwing up new shoots all over the place. Love ‘em, so I don’t mind their profligate ways.
Jane: That’s my bottle bed…nice hit of color when everything else goes away (just blue bottles slipped over rebar stakes driven into the ground). I had great plans for continued use of those wonderful bottles, but on my last trip to Trader Joe’s they had started using PLASTIC for their bottled seltzer with a hint of lime. sigh. Guess my only alternative is to start drinking sake.
Wendy: Even smaller and closer to the stem than heuchera. See all those little seedlings in the photo? Keep a hoe handy.
Frances: Welcome back! Oh goody…it would be nice to know the current name. And once a dragon lover, always a dragon lover…sure sign of the young-at-heart.

Hi Ricki, I loved playing catch up here! That Persicaria is wonderful, love the goldy leaves with the red flowers. I will look to see if a name can be found for it, but they do keep changing those dang names. I love the book too, lucky you and good kharma for sure! The dragon tale stole my heart, for I have a dragon loving son, now in his late twenties and married, as well. He has a figurine collection of dragons begun when we was quite young, that are still his heart’s delight. Smaller than ten feet, thank goodness.

The plant in the first photo is very nice! I love the little flower wands - like a coral bells kind of flower, right? I would imagine the foliage could really light up the shade.

I love the euphorbia. The colors are great. My friend tried to grow this, but also did not have much luck.

I have a Northern sea oats grass too. I love the little dingles dangling.. I’d call them blooms.

Oh, and what are the cool blue-black objects hanging over the persicaria?

Pretty persicaria whatever! I have it in a pot, and have just unleashed a few starts into the garden…hope I’m not sorry! The euphorbia is also lovely. I have a fuchsia magellanica in a pot that looks a lot like your “Golden Gate”. It’s such a lovely combination of yellowy-green and, well,… fuchsia!
