I’ve been a planting maniac trying to get everything that I ordered from Plant Delights Nursery and everything that I bought at the Huntsville and Birmingham Botanical Gardens’ plant sales in the ground. After three solid days, these were all settled in their new homes.
Working so closely with my new plants, it’s clear that some of them deserve awards, so I’m passing some out.
The award for most exciting new plant goes to…..
Bletilla striata ‘Gotemba Stripes’. Isn’t it beautiful against that background of sweet flag?
The award for biggest attention-whore goes to…
the tag just says “coleus” so I don’t know what variety it is. I thought it might be ‘Nuclear Fusion’. I’ve grown that one before, and it’s excellent. It stays nice and small and round and bushy without a lot of pinching, and I never saw a flower, just great foliage. The hosta on the right is the free plant that Proven Winners gave to all the writers at the Garden Writers Convention. It’s named ‘Wheee!’ because if a little bug was sliding on the leaf edge, that’s what he’d say.
Here are some other winners:
Most “cute as a button” – Ageratum ‘Artist Blue’

Touch base with a healthcare software development firm wholesale generic viagra to develop ambulatory healthcare system.
Coolest – Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia)
Quickest to die – Blue star ‘Georgia Pancake’
Best bargain – Panicum ‘Northwind’
I read an article about ‘Northwind’ being chosen as the 2014 perennial plant of the year, and then I saw it at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens plant sale for only $3 or $4. That’s a steal. I know they’re small, but they’ll grow. I bought five.
Biggest regret – Gazania. I didn’t study the tag closely enough. It’s a mix of colors, and I don’t like mixes. In life, I like all kinds – it’s more interesting that way; but in the garden, I like everyone the same.
Most full of potential – Ilex crenata ‘Adorned’
Most fun to use in a sentence – Clivia
“I love my Clivia!”, “My Clivia is amazing.”, “Have I ever showed you my Clivia?”
All right, that’s enough nonsense. I still have lots of plants in pots, so I better go.
