Re: Plant ID?

Jim and Daryl,
Thanks for IDing the hardy gloxinia. I bought three tubers at the Maymont flower show in Richmond. Those pretty Dutch girls didn't seem to know too much about the plants. The show seemed a bit empty this year, because a lot of the vendors were at the DC home and garden show.
We had 8 inches of snow last night. Ok, we had our winter, let's move on to spring!!

Ah, thanks. I think it might be. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/bulbs-summer/incarvillea.html
I knew I'd seen it before.

The "Japanese Wonderflower" being sold at the shows looks to be Mirabilis
jalapa/4 o'clock/Miracle of Peru.

I can't place the "Flowering Fern," though I've been wracking my memory.
Any ideas?

I can't grow it here, so I'm only going from memory when I saw it about
six years ago.  But could it be an Incarvillea?  It looks vaguely right
(from my failing memory).
