Schneehurkin? OH kay... LOVELY. I can not believe how diverse the collection of Liatris is on here, I am really going to have to try to find a few more of those, I only have ONE. Well the soup is bubbling along nicely, with a few Ls, not too LATE or anything. How interesting that the lily is not really all that prominent in the Tropics. Some lovely plants in the Ls, like a lot of other people I am looking wistfully at photographs and trying to figure out what happened to so and so, and where whats his name went, and I mean PLANTS not people, (people? I know where they are). Here are a few more. Should I start M and N together?

licorice-plant Helichrysum petiolare

I've tried to add to this but keep navigating away and then lose all my stuff (totally operator error). Here's my 3rd attempt, in short bursts: First my honeysuckles, love love these:

I've a lot of M's ready to go, don't think the N's will be as profuse, but I don't know.
I've like around 144 Lilium varieties grown but have posted them by alphabet letter. If I recall correctly, all but 2 have pics somewhere in my rather extensive photo collection that is on my computer and an extra hard drive.

And a few more Lupines.








These last pictures are of one of the absolute worst invasive plants I've ever dealt with. And this afternoon, after a bit more research, I found the name of this culprit: Lysimachia vulgaris. I think the birds may have dropped some seeds which grew into the centers of some of my Daylilies. In the fall of 2014, we dug them out and removed the soil and replaced it. Thumb of 2018-03-04/HemNorth/f9f312 In 2015, I removed the starts of some more of the invader, and in 2016 in the fall, we inserted pots of Daylilies and by 2017, I think it was clean.
Here are the vicious intruders:

Very nice Lingredients, Soupniks! JMorth, I am in complete awe of your incredible collection, and if you had broken any rules by reposting I would hardpressed to find them! Basically this is a fun exercise in plant names, i know people who were Soupers in the past, and bought plants starting with U for example so they would be assured of not missing out. I am deeply impressed by the amount of care and hard work people have put into this, and I wish I could offer prizes! Those Lonis are beauts. Esp ciliosa which is a BC native and can easily grow to 70 feet. All the rest are fantastic!
