Hardy Plant Study Weekend -- Bits and Pieces

I didn't get enough good photos at the rest of the gardens that I toured during the Hardy Plant Study Weekend to do an entire blog post on each. But I have a handful of good photos left over, so I thought I'd share those.

From the Garden of Debra and Jim Heg

Yes, the Rhodie leaves really were that blue

Stewartia flowers -- the tree was huge and profusely laden with blooms


If you click to embiggen you can see garden owner Ralph Hastings sitting on the patio to the left of the house

From the Garden of Lynn and Mike Garvey



From the Garden of Janet Patrick



From the Garden of Susan Picquelle and Jim Meador

I wish I knew my Arisaemas better, it would amuse me if that is Arisema dracontium next to the dragon hatching from an egg


From the Bluestem Garden of John Longres and Jeff Graham



From the Garden of Justin Galicic

Eucomis freckles

I'm sure he won't eat much...

From the Garden of Jon Dove


Look! It's me and my garden touring buddy Peter The Outlaw Gardener! Of course, I think we might have to arm wrestle  each other over who gets the clown to represent them.
