Hi Joanie,
My shorthand was inappropriate; sorry. H. Nicolas goes back to the
previous post when Gene mentioned Hakonechloa. I meant Hakonechloa
Nicolas.
Another error I discovered today, to my delight (somewhat) was that I
didn't lose Lilium Mrs R O Backhouse. It was the martagon species that I
lost. Mrs. B is blooming spectacularly!

Hi, Kitty....I can't find any info on Lilium H. Nicolas - do you have any
more info? Thanks, Joanie Anderson

My martagon lily is on the verge of putting on
a great show. But Mrs R O Backhouse, after several years bloom,
quietly disappeared.
Just got H Nicolas this year. Green for
the first month or so, but just now it's starting to color up.

Well,
Joanie
Let me see.... becoming more
interested in native Aralia all the time. Not the greatest of flowering
interest, but sure great foliage. Along those lines Syneilesis or shredded
umbrella plant is biggest on my "new" list. I am always after that
next trillium or Arisaema. Lilies that do well in some shade are a new
fascination the past few years. Same with Hakonechloa or Japanese shade
grass. New ones come on to the market every year. Hydrangea relatives are
a new path to walk. The list does go on.... always lots of plants new to
me to play with.
Will make some notes on what I am transplanting among my azalea and get
back to you.

Gene...what
have you come across in the last couple of years that you find interesting
or special for woodland & shade gardens? Figures you
would have had the jump on Glaucidium:-) Would love to know what your
new 'goodies' are too.

I have been using the mornings to alternate between pulling weeds and
transplanting new goodies to my gardens. Working on a rather large new
area where I transplanted native azalea 2 Novembers back. They all lived
so now I have lots of new space for perennials and bulbs between and
around the azalea. Room for more new epimedium, of course.
