My Agapetes serpens has got quite a few flowers. It actually *might* just barely be hardy here, if planted in a protected spot and mulched heavily. Sweet whitish berries in the fall. It is a blueberry family after all.
This came in a pot with something else. My guess is that it's Anemonella thalictroides flore pleno alba, but I could be well off on that... It is cute though.
Our Arctic Raspberries in the garden are spreading well. They're an herbaceous ground cover.
This came to me as Babiana ringens seed in 2009. Since that species is bright red and has an interesting spathe for sugar birds to sit on, I'm guessing that this seed was mislabeled. Oh well.
Calceolaria biflora 'Gold Cap'. Hope it forms a nice clump of little shoe flowers.
All of my Dicentra oregana got planted this spring. Finally!
Dichelostemma capitata from seed. First flowers.
Dryas octopetala from seed.
The Foethergilla looks nice this year.
Leucadendron modestum female plant. From seed.
Lewisia cotyledon alba in bloom from seed.
The regular Lewisia cotyledon. From seed.
When we were in Hawaii last winter, I collected a few seeds of what I thought was Metrosideros polymorpha growing around the Ka'a Crater (a great hike, if you like to sweat and slip down steep waterfalls). After looking at photos on the web, I now think it's more likely Metrosideros rugosa, but it will be a while before I can really confirm that. Either way, both are species endemic to Hawaii.
A cute little No ID plant I got in a pot of something else.
Rhododendron linearifolium.
Last, a very old plant of Rhododendron benhallii that will, we hope, like this sunny spot in the garden.
