Gonna buy the book and/or the plants? ;+)
I noticed a source for the Cardiandra in England somewhere.
Kirengeshoma palmata was easy enough to find in the past, though I didn't know
it was a Hydrangea. And I'm guessing I got my Deinanthe from Seneca Hill.
Strange how some plants can be so desirable, yet not to be available.

Gene...just checked out the Cardiandra
alternifolia...zounds...gorgeous...is it a small plant? I recognize the
Hydrangea in it. What can you tell me about it? Thanks, Joanie

I
am becoming more and more aware of hydrangea relatives.... top on my
list of performers is the quiet little Platycrater arguta. Goes with
anything and is a subtle charmer. Blooms are like pearls over glossy
rich-green long leaves. Just added Cardindra alternifolia to the azalea
area with Nicholas Hakonechloa and Heartthrob violet.

So
what showstoppers have you had in your gardens so far? What's
the
plant (or combination) that left you in awe of Nature and your
abilities
to cultivate her?
And I mean that in a good
way, because otherwise mine would have to
be Bishop's gout. I
wonder if I will *ever* be rid of that plant. :)
The only thing
that seems to kill it is Packera aurea, which is
another one I'm
fighting to eradicate. Curse the Cincinnati Zoo
and Botanic
garden for showing Packera to me in
flower!
