I am sooo loving this thread with all these beauties! Thank you Kat Enns for such a fun idea of Botanical Alphabet Soup!

Bugelweed or Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea' was listed in the Riverview 1938 Catalogue and was still around and about when we came in 1983.

Me too! This has quickly become my favorite thread! What a great incentive Kat gave us!

Here come some Alchemillas. First, Alchemilla mollis - the most prominent Lady's Mantle.


Then Alchemilla alpina, the jewel of the family.

And another compact and well behaved plant: Alchemilla erythropoda.

How about the Shasta Daisy 'Aglaya'?



And maybe an Antennaria. Instead of just Pink Pussytoes, this one has a Red Tint! And then the white fluffy seed heads.

ooh! That Alchemilla alpina is fantastic!

Glad you got the pink pussy toes in there! I didn't like my picture in the DB so much and didn't want to go searching to see if I had another one somewhere. Likely not anyway, cuz I like the foliage so much more than the blooms

dirtdorphins and jmorth - I am in awe of your photos. It's great to see all these 'A' specimens. Thanks for pulling them together.
Here are a few Aquilegia.

Ageratina havanensis - (White Mistflower, Fragrant Mistflower, White Boneset, Havana Snakeroot, Thoroughwort) - obviously there's a lot of confusion as to WHAT this plant is named!

Fun way to while away the winter duldrums.

And some more:

Still more:




An alternate name for this columbine is 'Remembrance' in honor of the victims of Columbine.

Drooling here. Is it too early to experience twinges of Spring Fever?

African Violet?

Azalea (Rhododendron)



Aster


Achimenes

This is just blowing me away! All I can say is, WOW! So now its going to get interesting when you have used up the only " ?" you have in the A thread, just sayin' lol, but by the looks of things none of you have any shortage of photographs of plants. So why worry? Ha ha. I posted another A, that seems to have been left out of the Soup but I must have done something dumb with the link to the photo..... (love that Acorn by the way), and its Azalea! OOPS spoke to soon, see above, ha ha. Anyway... Psst. some one tell me how to link to the database? If I have something correctly named that is..... this is Oriental Lights and a cross I am not sure of grown from seed.
