Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.

I love spiderwort. I have a couple of varieties, wild, which have just shown up in my plantings and climbed happily about over the ground cover. Very welcome.
ReplyDeleteI only discovered it a few years ago, and I really enjoy it! I may try to find the other colors - deep blue, and I think, pink - to add to the purple and white ones that are doing well here :)
DeleteVery nice. Spiderwort is a lovely plant.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, but like many plants, the closer I look at it, the more amazing the structure of it becomes!
DeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteI'm eyeing the leaves in the first picture and wishing I could find some fabric in that exact colour. Spiderwort is another plant we used to have.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty pleased when I got that color on the buds - it's fairly accurate! :)
DeleteIt's so beautiful!!! I love purple :) Don't you think that it needs a prettier name? I've always thought that!
ReplyDeleteI've wondered why it's called that, for sure! I'll tell you what: you come up with a name and I'll start calling it that - it will be like the pomegranate finches and sherbet moths :)
DeleteAbsolutely a nice and creative blog and handicraft, artwork blog. Thanks a lot for sharing..
