The thumbnail had me prepared to be underwhelmed, but no doubt, these plants are noteworthy and gorgeous is a word I'd use too!
I guess asparagus fern isn't a horrible weed in UT but that one plant isn't easy to see in such other great company. If I wasn't so jaded against it, I'd never notice it except as an interestingly-textured filler. All a matter of perspective, huh? It takes a planting this beautiful to lift AF to such greatness. You can dress it up, and CAN take it somewhere. Amazing.
