What perennial is this?
Comments (11)bboy - since I'm not certain of the Ligularia ID, I'm even less sure of the dentata possibility. I just found Ligularia tussilaginea on the web, and that ones foliage looks more like the OP's. I've linked to tussilaginea below. That said, look at the smaller leaves on the op's photo, do they not look toothed? (The larger leaves curl back on the edges, so it's hard to tell from the OP's photo whether or not they are toothed). esh_ga - below I've posted a couple of photos from my garden. The first is my Ligularia, including a couple of smaller leaves at the bottom. Note the reddish tint to the leaf stems. The second photo is of a ligularia leaf growing right next to an Asarum canadense leaf. The asarum is on the left. Ligularia (actually not certain of the type, but think it is L. dentata): Asarum canadense & Ligularia (Asarum leaf on left, Ligularia on the right): Here is a link that might be useful: Ligularia tussilaginea...See Morelots of groundcovers to ID please
Comments (20)Thanks Fatamorgana. I'm not sure on the leaf -- my leaf looks like it has more of an "indent" at the base than either the mulberry or the basswood in the pics you linked. it actually looks more like the redbud leaf, but i think those leaves are much smaller? #2 did not smell like mint. I have left it in for now to see if it flowers. I pulled out all of #1 (commelina). I have a new pic of #6. underneath the leaves is a cluster of what looks like small flower buds developing -- does this help with an ID? Thank you!...See MoreWANTED: Raleigh Spring Swap 2009
Comments (48)Sally, I would love to trade with you for Tricyrtis 'Autumn Glow'. Do you have either of the variegated Tricyrtis' 'Lightning Strike' and or 'Samurai'? Also, either or both Monardas? I can dig some M. 'Jacob Kline' for you if you are interested. I am interested in either Canna and your Tradescatia and Var. Hosta if I have something that you would like in return. I posted a partial list of things that I have available earlier in this discussion. Are you still interested in Mexican Petunias? I need to dig several clumps from the flowerbed in front of our house and can bring you several if you want them. Root Digger. I will bring two Pineapple Guava and give them to Tammy for you. Brenda, my Impatien zombensis still lives. I can take a cutting and either bring it tomorrow, or root it myself and give it to you later? I bought an Impatiens species from Tony in February. I can divide a piece of it for you also if you like....See MoreHave you been hunting for natives?
Comments (15)Its a big world and everybody on it has a different viewpoint - all of them valid. When I take a deep view of the issue it has parallels to other nature/environmental conflicts and the ethics of ownership of art and artifacts. When I was younger I collected a lot in the wild, both plants and animals. Over time my poor track record for success calmed down my wish to grow everything. Now I only collect something that I really think I can grow. I prefer to take cuttings and whereas in the past I would take an obscene amount of cuttings, now I only take a few (you could call this pruning!). I try not to tell other people what they should do or not do, because I believe they will eventually slow down on the collecting. It is rare for a person to be a rabid collector for years on years. Another aspect of it to consider - the only people that will care enough to step in and do the work involved with saving an endagered species of plant will be gardeners. Those gardeners will have to gain those skills somewhere. When disaster is looming, it will be a gardener that saves the rare plants in his/her neighborhood - other people will be busy saving something else. Way back when I worked at the zoo I used to work in the bird department taking care of a large walk through aviary filled with South American birds. One day while out at lunch with some ex-staff I ran across my old highschool biology teacher who told me about her teenage son's pet parrot that he had recieved from the zoo. Immediately my group figured out that the kid had stolen the parrot but I kept my cool and let her tell me the false story he had told her. Later they were furious that I did nothing or said nothing to her but in my mind that parrot was in a much better place being cared for by this kid. Everyone thinks that because its the "zoo" that all the animals are expertly cared for but this was an orphaned bird that lived in isolation and neglect in windowless shed for years before someone stepped forward and suggested we re-introduce it to the parent flock. By then it was heavily imprinted on people and would fly up to anyone walking through the aviary. The flock treated it poorly, it was never going to fit in. The zoo didn't have the time to take adequate care of it. Allowing it to be kept by the teenager was actually better for the bird - even though the kid was a thief. So it all depends on how you want to look at it....See MoreRelated Professionals
