One of my very favorite roses in my garden. Lovely antique rose look with many petals of soft peach. Rich dark green leaves with new growth a lovely burgundy. About 36 inches high after 2 years in Southern Indiana. Repeat bloomer about every 4-6 weeks all summer long.

A very pretty, slow-growing mini-Rhododendron that will get big over the years if you let it. Can easily be pruned. I prefer to prune it when it blooms. That way I get cut flowers too.

Native to southeast Asia. Named in honor of J.C.M. Radermacher (d.1793), a Dutch amateur botanist who lived in Java. Sap may be irritating to skin.

This is one of my favorite plants. I have just successfully dug-up, potted and placed in my greenhouse. Living in NY, we cannot keep them outside and expect them to live. I hope to keep the happy until Spring when I can place them outside again.

Used as a ground cover and edging for woodland beds with adequate moisture. Spreads rapidly in rich soil and could become a nuisance. Easily pulled and transplanted, or removed. Has small fragrant flowers in the spring.

This is a pretty little violet that has naturalized itself in a very shaded area of my folk's cabin. The soil is glacial till with about a 1/2" of forest debris. I have not been successful in getting it to establish itself in my yard. It seems to be a rainforest plant and takes much patience to get established.

The bloom color starts out white and changes from a pink to purple with age. Grows naturally in moist woods, and stream banks. Mine is growing on the north side of my house.

Had several mild winters and this fern did well. I brought it in this summer because I felt like this fern really deserved to be a speciman plant and it was showy in a pot. I have kept this plant in a breezeway that is unheated and a bright room (temps are approximately 40- F. We are in the midst of a severe winter and it might not have survived outdoors. I need to do more research on this particular variety. Dividing this fern does not appear to be as easy as some, from looking at its foot.

Had several mild winters and this fern did well. I brought it in this summer and divided approximately seven smaller plants off of it (spores that had propagated). I feel like this fern really deserves to be a speciman plant. The parent plant is kept in a breezeway that is unheated and a bright room (temps are approximately 40- F. We are in the midst of a severe winter and it would not have survived, and now several people have what seems to be a very easy house plant.

Can get huge. Depending on your location this fern can be 4-5 feet tall (meter and a half)and just as wide. Will be smaller in full sun. Can be drought tolerant once established. In the Pacific Northwest I do not need to water them ever.
