'Dragon Tails'. It has that unusual bicolored leaf. Glad you enjoyed your visit; the garden is always open for folks to visit. I'm just getting ready to plant four different species of Asian jack in the pulpit seeds, so in a couple of years I'll hopefully have more of a variety to give away (I still have about thirty sikokianums).Also I want to get down to see your garden next year.<BR/>DonIBOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160379892465206319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-40381887831451543632008-10-08T22:15:00.000-05:002008-10-08T22:15:00.000-05:00Mr.BTH, I'm grateful not only that I was able to v...Mr.BTH, I'm grateful not only that I was able to visit, but that he shares so much on his blog. :-) Thanks for visiting here!

I'll have to head over ~ the garden looks spectacular, much more interesting than anything I've seen on my yearly garden tours! As I was scrolling thru your photos, I thought I saw a Jack-in-the-pulpit but I didn't think it could be ~ nice to know I wasn't crazy. Gardeners are so generous. I hope your new plants do equally well in your garden as in their former one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
