I've decided that this is really Bletilla 'Yokohama', the hybrid of striata and formosana, rather than pure formosana. So I planted it.


My Calochortus clavatus is gorgeous.


I like this new little Digitalis obscura I found at a local nursery. It has sharp, evergreen linear leaves like a bromeliad.


I put the Epipactis gigantea in the bog. It's not gigantic yet: it's less than a foot tall!


Eremurus 'Cleopatra' is starting to open.


A nice Lilium pardalinum from a friend. My own seed grown plants, started in 2008 or 2009, are going to have their first flowers this year too.


Some Eriophyllum lanatum that I started from seed from Southern Oregon in 2010. Really filling in.


A Peony that came with the house.


Penstemon cardinalis from Hardy Plant sale.


Penstemon eatonii, from seed.


Penstemon fructescens, from seed from Mt Hood.


A little Primula capitata mooreana.


The Sarracenia rubra jonesii are blooming well in the bog. I bought most of my Sarracenia in 2006 or so: an oreophila, a rubra, a rubra jonesii, a leucophylla and then later a flava cuprea. These 6 year old plants grew into a bog-full!
