Hello to the 'H's.
Let's start with some Heleniums.
And continue with:
One of my favourite plants is Heliopsis helianthoides, and the reason I haven't any photos in the Database yet, is that I have about 70 Photos of them that I haven't plowed through to choose 2 or 3 to submit.
Here is a sample:
They make such excellent dried flowers. Pick a bouquet of a variety of garden flowers, and after two or three weeks, when all the rest are finished, take the Heliopsis helianthoides and cut them to the desired length for your winter bouquet of blossoms. Some of mine have lasted two or three years. They usually fade a little, but still hold their form - especially the singles and short petalled doubles.
Something I've discovered in this Alphabet exercise that I didn't know before, was that with photos not in the Database, if you click on the photo, the next one appears - so that you can see them magnified, in sequence, without having to go to the bottom of the photo to click the 'x'.
But with the Database photos, you can click on the name, and it will take you to the page where that photo and others of that category are featured - so you gain a lot in perusing other images and seeing the plant in different stages. If you hover over the small photos, you can read additional info in the captions some people add.
. actually this "H" could be grown here, though not many varieties currently available. So "Hopefully" it will come to me.
