[ Speedwell (Veronica peduncularis 'Georgia Blue') | Posted on December 1, 2011 ] This is one of the first blooms of the spring. It is evergreen and ready as soon as the temps warm up. It spreads, but not too agressively. |
[ Giant Dutchman's Pipe (Aristolochia gigantea) | Posted on November 28, 2011 ] Aristolochia gigantea though a lovely fast growing plant is NOT a plant I want to have in my garden. I have found documentation to substantiate my dealings with using the plant. I kept seeing my Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly larva hatch, then die when feeding on the plant; I found out later was indeed toxic to them. |
