Foliage follow up...

I wish I could remember what this sweet tender Euphorbia is called, but I just can't. I bought it a last year at the Rare plant research sale. It survived in my sun room all winter and looks about to bloom.

I bought this Sophora microphylla 'sun king' recently, I couldn't resist , it was sitting all on it's lonesome  looking tall and lanky!

Eucalyptus Morrisbyi , apparently rare and endangered in Tasmania... no pressure .

Phormium 'apricot queen'


Stachy looking like wet lambs ears or tongue


Amsonia Hubrichtii 

Tetrapanax leaf about to drop

Phormium 'Alison blackman and a variegated Sedum ...a whatsit 

Leucosceptrum stellpitium 'October moon'

One of my supermarket Echreveria 

This invasive variegated grass I enjoy snipping. Held captive in  small pot.

    Aha! Now I get the 'whatsit'. I know...not too swift on the uptake. I saw those giant Tetrapanax leaves that had turned white used in a vase and they were stunning.

      Yes Ricki , the "whatsit'", if I thought I'd be blogging for this long , I would have chosen another title probably.

    Love that Euphorbia, and *want* that I Sophora microphylla 'sun king' very badly! I can't believe your Amsonia is coloring up already...

      Lori, I think it's Euphorbia 'Flame' , it self seeded into another pot. Sometimes those overwintering plants do that. I thought You had the Sophora, when I looked on 'PlantLust' it had your photo !

    I can't believe your leaves are changing already! My Amsonia never gets that lovely russet coloring :-(

    You have the coolest plants, Linda! I love that variegated whatsit sedum. I had no idea Tetrapanax leaves turn white! They are magnificent!

    Sorry I've been away from your blog for so long. I love your foliage Linda. That Euphorbia is a stunner and I love the phormium/sedum combo. Very cool!
