**NEW** Teza's Essential Woodland Plants


Teza's Essential Woodland Plants

I am an ardent reader of Gardens Illustrated, and after a recent cover story on Beth Chatto's 100 Must Have Plants, I decided that I would try and emulate this idea with a list of my own plants, that if asked to choose, would be included in such esteemed company as those chosen by who I consider to be the ultimate doyenne of woodland gardening. Like her, I took great pleasure in compiling my list, thrilled to reacquaint myself with some that were momentarily 'misplaced' within an inventory topping three hundred, and likewise I was saddened to realize that one hundred isn't really that many plants after all. Here without further ado are my essential Woodland Garden Plants!
[Unless noted, all photos were taken within my garden during the past four years! Please do not duplicate or copy any material here within without written permission. With thanks!]

Corydalis flexuosa 'Blue Panda'
This is THE plant that initiated my quest for true blue in the garden! 'Icy blue iridescent sea horse shaped flowers float atop a tumultuous sea of green-grey lacy foliage.' Notorious for its propensity towards summer dormancy, keep it in partial shade and consistently moist and it will bring you more gasps from delighted and unsuspecting garden visitors than any other plant in the garden![1]




The aliens have landed! Syneilesis aconitifolia is sure to cause a stir in the partially shaded woodland garden with its tiny shredded umbrella shape as it emerges in Spring. As the season progresses, it grows in height and width, causing even more comment! Plant it with other bold foliage plants such as Diphylleia cymosa for the ultimate in dramatic effect![2]





As mentioned above, when it comes to bold dramatic foliage, few can top Diphylleia cymosa, with its dramatic palmate foliage that reaches astounding widths and as the photo shows, is a wonderful collecting reservoir of rainwater! Inconspicuous white flowers are followed by dramatic blue berries carried on wiry ruby infused petioles! Sublime![3]




Its all about the blue, right? In actuality, Gentiana is one of my personal favourites, and Gentiana asclepidea with its long [to 1m] arching stems, smothered at the leaf nodes with deep gentian blue flowers is a sight to behold! Popular in English gardens, it needs to be used more frequently here in North America![4]




 Pretty in pink best describes Melittis melissophyllum 'Royal Velvet Distinction,' which unfortunately carries the 'common moniker' of 'Bastard Balm!' Seriously people, how could one consider a plant of such delicate demeanor might possibly have bastard parentage? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that it belongs in the notorious 'mint' family, but in my experience, it is nothing like its rampant thug of a cousin![5]




'Leave the wolves to howl at someone else's door!' Aconitum is one of my ultimate Top Ten genera, and as such is well represented in the garden's repertoire. Aconitum lycoctanum with its unique mitre shaped whipped buttery yellow flowers on tall stems is always one that is commented upon. A prodigious mid Summer bloomer of mid size, it is the perfect addition for the middle of a mixed perennial border where it can happily commingle with the pinks and blues of nearby plantings![6]



Not everything has to grow in the shade! I have a few sun lovers that make the grade as well, including this fabulous ornamental Oregano. Origanum 'Kent Beauty' with its woody, trailing stems makes the penultimate container planting where the unique papery bract like flowers can tumble over the edge of a container, filling the air with its distinct Oregano fragrance. Somewhat tender hearted it appreciates sharply draining soil.[7]




Arisaema candidissimum is the reigning ballerina within a genus that has held me captive with its serpentine beauty! Delicate pink, white and apple green striped spathes are said to be fragrant to men. Perhaps my testosterone needs an overhaul!
For me it was love at first sight when I spotted and photographed it at my favourite woodland garden nursery, Lost Horizons.[8]

 Even taxonomists have a sense of humour which is detected with the switcharoo of a few letters in the name of this beguiling woodland essential. With leaves similar to those of Asarum canadense, Saruma henryi [notice the similarity?] with its tomentose, heart shaped foliage and wonderful canary yellow flowers adds a punch of colour to the semi shaded woodland.[9]





Campanula latifolia 'Macrantha' with its tall spires o opalescent mauve, upwards facing flowers is always a welcome sign along the Shaded Walk. Handsome, disease resistant foliage and an extended bloom time make this a 'must have plant!'[10]







For us 'shady characters' its all about the foliage, and even when its a sun lover, I find myself adding something new based solely on its uniqueness! Cassia marilandica, a North American native is usually found in scrub areas, near to water where it can naturalize quite easily when happy. I love the delicate foliage, similar to that of Baptisia, and its showy yellow, black and white spider shaped flowers add even more drama. Capable of attaining heights of 2.5m, use it as a background planting where it can tower head and shoulders above more vertically challenged plantings![11]



Paeonia mlokosewitschii is often referred to my the easier moniker 'Molly the Witch,' and is without a doubt my favourite within the genus. Gorgeous pink infused slightly rounded newly emerging foliage is upstaged only by the sumptuous single whipped buttery yellow blossoms with their golden boss of stamens.[12]


 
Erythronium revolutum first came to my attention while reading 'Beth Chatto's Woodland Garden' and since then I have been in the search for as many of these demure, dainty ephemerals! The North American native E.americanum is readily available in commerce, but these blushing pink beauties have proven to be somewhat elusive, but are well worth the search![13]

If ever there was a true connoisseur plant for the woodland garden, Glaucidium palmatum more than easily fits the bill! Gorgeous palmate folaige is topped by billowing mauve pink flowers that resemble poppies, but are actually related to the genus Paeonia. Slow to establish itself, it demands a careful placement where its flowers can be appreciated up close and personal![14] Internet photo
Arisaema ciliatum var. liubaense reigns supreme when it comes to the Dark Arts! With its starburst foliage structure, flattened hood to its amazing purple green and white striped spathe, there is little room to pass it by and not be drawn in by its sinister, Slytherin-esque presence! It spreads rather happily, rewarding you with clutches of snake like beauty in the garden![15]




Abies koreana 'Horstmann's Silberlocke' is a slow growing Korean fir with amazing two tone curved needles - a shimmering silver on the reverse of each! Top it off with rich purple upright cones and you have a sublime, irregular shaped specimen for the smaller property! Who could ask for anything more?[16]





 Kirengeshoma koreana may in fact be a variation on the species K.palmata, but this gardener notices two distinct differences: a shimmering silvery patina to newly emerging foliage, and flowers that are decidedly more upright in their weeks earlier appearance than K.palmata. In my eyes they are cousins at best![17]




 Aconitum astroyunnanense immediately set the heart to pounding when I discovered that aside of it being one I didn't have in my collection, but it was also one that would eventually climb to heights of ten feet.[18]

I adore Acanthus and have grown this one in relatively full shade for the past four years, its sending forth flower spikes is testament to the fact that it doesn't necessarily demand sunny locations such as its native haunts in the Mediterranean![19]





Dracocephalum ruyschianum reminds me of the love child of Nepeta subsissilus and Salvia nemerosa 'Rhapsody in Blue.' I love its congested flower heads that stand rigidly above pinnate foliage that remains crisp and fresh all season long![20]
The English will tell you that when it comes to perennial Asters, Aster 'Little Carlow' with its deep clean foliage topped with iridescent opalescent mauve daisy like flowers is head and shoulders above the competition! If only we North American gardeners would listen![21]
Never one for red and yellows in the garden, it took this amazing woodlander to change my mind. Spigelia marilandica sports pleated red flowers that open to reveal a dramatic yellow star on the end of its tepals! It remains one of the most talked about plants in my garden repertoire![22]
Corydalis 'Wildside Blue' is a seedling from the garden of plantsman Keith Wiley, that remains in flower all season long, a wonderful change from most of the blue flowering species that have a penchant for summer dormancy! Not the icy iridescent blue of its cousin 'Blue Panda' but one that promises to stick around all summer and fall. What else could you ask for?[23]
Deinanthe bifida is a wonderful Japanese woodland plant whose flowers are reminiscent of Hydrangea blooms, only smaller. Its rough foliage usually culminates in a v shaped cleft, hence the 'bifida' in its name.[24]
Gentiana scabra 'True Blue' is a recent introduction from plantsman Darrel Probst of Epimedium fame. Its upright habit to .5m is a pleasant change from most within the genus that tend to crawl along the ground. Fabulous pleated 5cm blooms cover the plant from late June until frost, making it a must have plant for gardeners looking for blue flowers![25]



The apparent progeny of Thalictrum and Anemone - no, not really, but Anemonella thalictroides 'Cameo' is the most diminutive plant I grow in the Rare and Unusual Border. Smashing fully double light pink flowers eventually fade to white![26]









 Acer palmata 'Mikawa Yatsubusa' is a fully fledged dwarf, growing 0.3m in height with a spread of appromimately the same. Delightful foliage is palmate and each leaf seems to overlap the last, giving it the appearance of shingles on a roof![27]



 
 Epimedium are a favourite genus, and when I stumbled across this delightfu gem, Epimedium 'Sakura Maru' with its delightful two tone pink and white flowers, with elongated spurs that curve to form claws, it was love at first sight![28]












While it was supposed to be another of the delightful pinks, Erythronium japonicum is now referred to as the star that fell into Teza's Hortus Magnificum. I adore the simplicity of these ephemerals![29]
















With its common name of 'Shooting Star', Dodecatheon media 'Aphrodite' is another of the ephemerals that I am happy to see pop up willy nilly along the length of the Rare and Unusual border. Taller and more robust that D.hendersonii, it always brings a silly grin to my face![30]














Epimedium pennatum 'Colchicum' was the very first Epimedium that I grew, and I knew then, as I do now that they can easily become an obsession in their own right! The single yellow flowers with the darker centre, frilly outer edges, and the always clean and handsome foliage make it a true necessity within the woodland garden![31]












The acid yellow of its flowers make Euphorbia polychroma immediately recognizable in the garden. This particular cultivar 'Bonfire' offers deeply bruised burgundy foliage as it emerges, with a most tomentose texture to boot! Watch for the sap which is known to cause dermtalogical rashes![32]















Primula vialii is perhaps the apple of my eye, especially when it causes visitors to gasp with delight when I say its a Prim! Its cone shaped flower head is literally covered with hundreds of demure pink flowers for weeks on end! As with most within the genus, it does demand consistent moisture![33]





 When people ask what kind of clover it is that has seeded itself along the sunniest border, I have to laugh! Indeed it is from the same family, but it took me years to find Trifolium rubens. [34]






 NEVER DIG OR PICK FLOWERS that belong to or are related to the genus Trillium as they are our native provincial flower and are losing their battle against poachers! If like myself, you wish to grow them, find a reputable grower and be willing to wait seven years for the first blooms! This is the most common, Trillium grandiflora. [35]





 Cypripedium calceolaris represents another native to Ontario, and it too is undergoing rape and pillage from greedy people who want them for themselves. With its wonderfully pleated foliage and amazing yellow pouched flowers with the amazing wine-brown tepals, it truly is worth the price you will have to pay to ensure they are seed grown beauties![36]




 Nothing comes close to the gasps of delight when a visitor stumbles upon something they are totally unfamiliar with. Such is usually the case when they spot the flower of Podophyllum hexandrum var. emodi. This Asian Mayapple  has strikingly mottled foliage, this delightful pink flower, and huge scarlet red fruit later in the season.[37]




Epimedium grandiflora 'Orange Queen' is another within the fascinating genus that I grow. Demure red and orange infused foliage float on wiry pedicels above fabulous foliage.[38]






 There are always certain plants that other gardeners shake their head in distaste and are often heard to utter under their breath, 'But that's such a weedy looking thing! Is it Queen Anne's Lace?' Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing' does in fact resemle Queen Anne, but has deep purple, near black lacy foliage, hence its name as it does indeed resemble the wing of a Raven lying on the ground! Be aware of its rambunctious tenacity and lob off the flower heads before they go to seed![39]



 Insane that this isn't topping the list, but for me, the heartache of losing Meconopsis grandis on a near yearly basis cautioned me that this is definitely not the plant for the weak hearted. The true Holy Grail plant as far as I am concerned, it despises heat, humidity and desiccating winds, making it a perfect candidate for either BC or the St.Lawrence, both habitats where they are said to grow like weeds! Sweet Jesus, I need me some of this weed![40]








A true woodland garden is not one without the presence of Polygonatum. I have a tender spot for this genus and have been thrilled to discover that there is an ever growing number of species now available. Take for example Polygonatum odoratum 'Fireworks' with its heavily splashed foliage and wine infused stems! Sublime![41]












While the photo does it no justice, another beguiling member of the same genus is Polygonatum odoratum 'Spiral Staircase' a Plant Delights introduction that offers larger than normal slightly rounded foliage on stems that are somewhat twisted - hence the appearance of a spiral staircase![42]





 Clematis alpina 'Stolwijk's Purple' caught my eye with its fabulously chartreuse foliage and spider like blue flowers! I can hardly wait for it to meander through an existing wild Vitis vine that seems to be dying back from the ground up - not a good thing when it is front and centre against the side of the garage, which is the backdrop for the Rare and Unusual border. Fingers crossed that it creates the drama that I'm yearning for![43]








Veratrum nigrum is grown solely for its luscious heavily pleated foliage. It does have tall flower spikes covered in deep wine red flowers, but for me, it offers the perfect foil for those oh so tired and overused Hosta that most people think are the only plants that will tolerate full shade. Tear one out and add this beauty instead![44]












Another one that is grown for its fabulous foliage is Triosteum pinnatifidum. It does have rather inconspicuous white flowers that magically morph into delightful pink fruit as the season progresses! [45]





 With purplish-brown infused newly emerging foliage and lime green pendulous pearl like flowers, Polygonatum x hybridum 'Betberg' tops the genus in this aficionado's eyes! A wonderful gift from fellow plantsman Barry Parker, with many thanks![46]














Athyrium 'Ursula's Red' is one of those plants that take a few years to settle themselves in before producing the stunning folial effects that caused you to spend a silly amount of money in the first place. Silver tips are only the beginning...... before long the centre of each frond turns a deep reddish purple creating an eye popping display for the woodland garden![47]




 Methinks this is Fritillaria pudica but I have been mistaken when it comes to bulbs. I adore this one for its powdery blue grey foliage and wonderful soft yellow and pink infused flowers that blooms regularly for me just after the Narcissus and Crocus have finished their show. Sadly the Japanese Lily Beetle is also showing an interest in it! Rat bastards![48]






I've already mentioned my addiction to Polygonatum. This one comes second after 'Betberg' in my opinion. Polygonatum falcatum 'Silver Striped Selections] is a delicate thing, slow to bulk up but capable of holding its own and then come against some of its larger, more robust cousins. I love the single silver stripe that bisects each leaf![49]


Acanthus 'Whitewater' has been the most visited page on my blog! With its dramatic white splashed, heavily lobed foliage and tall pink and white flowering spikes, is there anything else that could possibly come close to securing the drama queen crown! Sadly this one is extremely tender, Zone 7 according to most, but a wonderful gardening friend kindly gifted me with a seedling so I can try, try again![50] Internet photo


and we are half way there folks!

Blue will forever reign supreme in my heart and garden, so it is no surprise that Tricyrtis 'Blue Magic' was the star of the garden five years ago. Sadly I seem to have misplaced it over the years but am always on the lookout for a replacement![51]














Ceratostigma wilmottianum 'My Love' represents a breakthrough in breeding! With fabulously chartreuse foliage, red petioles and shocking electric blue flowers, this is the one that I say gives 'Whitewater' a run for its money where drama queen status is concerned. Alas, it too has a tender hearted tenacity and will need winter protection to ensure its survival. One for the Zonal Denial members![52]




 Without question, my favourite within the genus are the herbaceous members with their woody stems and trailing habit. Clematis tubulosa 'Alan Bloom'  flowers much later than most others, with its tiny royal blue flowers that have an intoxicating scent of vanilla. Leave it to clamor through the yellow leaved Hosta or Juniper.[53]





 Aconitum incinatum is a trailing member of one my my favourite genera. Many are scared off with the 'but its poisonous' mantra, but then again so are the Digitalis and you don't hear people whinging about them! Wonderful purple blue helmet shaped flowers on trailing stems to 3m make this a wonderful specimen to trail through an obelisk or other woody shrubs. [54]










Small trees are also an important part of the garden repertoire and I simply adore Cercidipjyllum japonicum 'Rotfuchs' commonly known as 'Red Fox Katsura.' With its deep wine infused foliage that highlights golden veining, bizarre antennae like flowers and amazing cotton candy aroma in late fall, there is everything going for it to ensure that it is part of your garden repertoire![55]




 Athyrium felix femina 'frizelliae' is also known as the tatting fern, due to the unique growth of its fronds. It makes a wonderful specimen at the front of a border, or better yet in a container with Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold!'[56]














Campanula 'Sarastro' is a tidier, more upright version of its leggy cousin 'Kent Belle.' I love its heavily pleated, jewel like flowers before they open to reveal pendulous racemes of deep purple. This one looks truly staggering in the company of those fabulously chartreuse plants such as Filipendula ulmaria 'Aurea'.[57]





 When I tell people its a perennial Strobilanthes, most people do a double take. On a plant that easily tops 2m, these wonderful ram's horn shaped flowers cause quite a stir. Strobilanthes attenuata [Atropurpurea] is not easily located in hort commerce but is available from Lost Horizons.[58]





Not a big fan of Aruncus in general - too big and floppy with messy foliage as the season progresses - I was caught short when I discovered Aruncus dioicus 'Knieffii' with its threadlike foliage and more diminutive stature. It creates a wonderful lacy confection in a bed of rather humdrum bod leaf Hostas.[59]





 Forgiving the presence of two plants in this photo - I want to focus on the fabulously chartreuse grass, Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' that truly looks like a waterfall of liquid gold. Best in a container where it can spill forth over the edges, it looks awesome [as this photo shows] when combined with Origanum 'Kent Beauty'[60]












Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' is also referred to as the ubiquitous 'Dappled Japanese Willow' that is inundating properties as I type. It is a beautiful specimen with its dappled green, white and pink foliage - best as a grafted standard. At one time I was totally enamored of it, but now I am looking for a replacement...... too many of a good thing makes me yawn and lose interest rather quickly![61]










Salvia sclarea var. 'Turkestanica' is one of those biennials that you wish you could convert to being perennial. I love the large, rough foliage with its unique scent [some say dirty socks] and tall spires of pale blue-purple flowers encased in papery white and pink infused bracts. Leave it to seed about prodigiously and you might just find that it acts like a perennial for you. Mine seeded itself in the drive where I was able to prick out and transplant back into the garden![62]






It looks blue in this photo, and for the most part it fits my requirements, but upon closer examination, Corydalis flexuosa 'Purple Leaf' is indeed infused with purple-mauve. Beggars cannot be choosers, and this one comes up year after year and is less susceptible to the summer dormancy that plagues so many of the blue flowering beauties.[63]












Thalictrum delavayi 'Splendide' is the new reigning Princess within a genus made up of so many whose flowers are little more than a blustering of stamens atop towering stems. Not so with 'Splendide' whose flowers start off as opalescent pink pearls that persist for weeks before opening to reveal dainty, demure flowers with four true petals surrounding a delicate boss of golden stamens. The ferny, airy foliage is an added bonus on a plant that is more than capable of attaining heights of 3m if staked to protect it from wind. Love it![64]




With its twisted sepals, Clematis integrifolia is one of my favourites in the garden. It is herbaceous and only attains a height of approximately 1m in height, but looks adorable in a small gaggle - as in geese![65]







 I knew that Clematis 'Mrs Harvey' would knock me off my feet when she bloomed! A friend of mine grows this smashing flowered species and said I simply must have one, and thus it came home from the ORG&HPS sale this year![66]





 Gillenia trifoliata is a shrubby perennial that when at maturity forms a wonderful clump of clean foliage topped with wiry stems that carry wonderful white flowers resembling white butterflies. Brilliant red calyx are noticeable from a distance as the season progresses. I like to treat mine as a shrub and let it meander at the base of Cotinus 'Grace.'[67]





 Disporum viridescens is one of those dainty members of a genus known as 'fairybells' and for me it is the perfect moniker for a tall slender plant of shiny foliage topped with demure white flowers with distinctive elongated sepals and petals. I imagine a group of little green folk merrily dancing beneath these at the rear of the Shaded Walk![68]






 Winter witch hazel, or Corylopsis spicata reigns supreme in the Spring garden where its racemes of whipped buttery yellow pendulous flowers with red and orange inflections tells me that Mother Nature is preparing to return warmer weather to the garden. Rich burgundy bruised foliage turns a delightful blue green as the season progresses! There's always room for some witchy business in the garden![69]










Where ferns are concerned, one must never be without Adiantum pedantum, also known as the 'five finger fern' in honour of the five long fronds that resemble fingers! Delightfully tall, with an airy habit, the ebony, near black stems stand out fabulously when partnered with something of a fabulously chartreuse colour - say, Aralia cordata 'Sun King!'[70]










Most run screaming when they hear the name Lamium! L.galeobdolon is a pernicious weedy damn thing that spreads from here to the great thereafter! This one on the other hand, Lamium orvala has a wonderful upright growth habit! It forms a wonderful mound that only slowly spreads over time. [three years and counting and I have only had to divide it once!] The same snap dragonish flowers are wither pink and white, or there is a pristine white cultivar as well![71]






Judging from the shape of the foliage, this is often misidentified as a common thistle and is plucked from the garden by unsuspecting gardeners. Mine spent three days on the compost pile before I realized my error. Sublime pink and white flowers on tall flower spikes in mid Summer make this an essential for the sunnier locale in the garden. It will seed about when happy! Oh, I almost forgot the name: Morina longifolia![72]




I know what you're thinking! Its red for the love of God! Indeed it is...... devilish red, hence its name, Crocosmia 'Lucifer.' A hummingbird magnet with its long tubular flowers that form harp-like appendages on the end of tall, erect stems. I have this one with Eupatorium 'Chocolate' where the fiery red and deep purple can contrast to eye appealing effect![73]





Fragrance in the Fall garden is essential especially when the garden is situated so closely to a seating area. For me, nothing comes close to the heady fragrance of Actaea matsumurae 'White Pearl' whose tall flower wands fill the evening air with their delicious fragrance.[74]






 Gentiana lagodochiana 'Select' was the first species within this divine genera that I tried five years ago. Needless to say it [the genus] has left a lasting impression on me. When you're so true a blue that they name a shade after you....... gentian blue will long remain close to my heart. This species tends to sprawl along the ground, affording the necessity that one get down on hand and knees to fully appreciate their beauty. So enamored was I that I added another five this Spring![75]



 Worried that there isn't enough sun to properly grow the genus Anemone, I have been hesitant to try any. I did grow Anemone x hybrida 'Party Dress' for two years, with its wonderful fully double pink flowers, but found it too leggy to support the somewhat heavier flowers. More sun would have remedied the situation![76]












Another delightful Lost Horizons discovery is Chelonopsis yagahirana a gem of a plant with delightful tubular flowers with a wonderful pouting lower lip! A magnet for the hummers and visitors who always ask its identity![77]
















Epimedium brachyhizzum 'Elfin Magic' was only the second member of what has become one of my favourite genera that I purchased. I adore the demure, tiny flowers, that when captured up close and personal cannot help but captivate you for life![78]






 Uvularia grandiflora is another of those wonderful native ephemeral plants that make their ever so brief appearance every Spring and then disappear underground until the next year! I love the bright canary yellow frilled skirts that dance in the breeze of the Shaded Walk![79]














A mesmerizing photographic study does it not? Cotinus coggygria 'Grace' emerges with wine infused foliage, complete with gold veins and turns a deep, lush purple colour when provided with adequate sunlight. It can get big...... I have coppiced mine into a tree form where it creates the perfect backdrop to the entrance of the Shaded Walk. A yellow, white and green variegated Cornus alternifolia 'Golden Shadows' in the perfect contrast![80]


Rich, water splattered blue jewels! How else to describe Penstemon heterophyllus 'Shockwave!' Granted, it does soften to a mauve colour, but in bud form blue far outweighs the mauve. Taller than other species, this one needs adequate sunlight and dry conditions in order to flourish in the garden![81]





 When it comes to perennial Geraniums, there are only a few that I consider. I love this one - Geranium phaeum 'Springtime' with its heavily mottled green, white and pink foliage, topped with rich magenta, plum flowers. It makes the absolute perfect foil for Helleborus![82]





 Anemonopsis macrophylla remains firmly entrenched within my Top 5 woodland Holy Grail plants. With flowers that defy description [they are so staggeringly beautiful!] on long ebony infused stems, not to mention foliage that has a distinctive blue patina to it....... you simply have to see it to believe it. Seeing may be somewhat challenging as it is very hard to come by in hort commerce! [83] Internet photo


Digitalis 'Goldcrest' is one of those few rare truly perennial species within a genus known for its biennial tenacity. This is a shorter species with shiny, smooth arrow like foliage and wonderful salmony orange coloured flowers.[84]
















I am sure the list will continue to grow as I discover and add new and exciting, rare and unusual woodland wonders to my garden. Stay tuned.

Thanks so much for this wonderful list. It is obvious it is an on going labour of love.
