Around the Swing


So far I've persuaded Shelagh to spare this smilax for winter decoration.


The holly fern is making new fronds. This thing grows pretty slow but is evergreen.


This species Lenten Rose "Heliborus Foetida", "stinking johnny" is supposed to smell bad when it's brushed. I put it behind a tree limb to avoid contact. It's also evergreen and has an interesting contrasting leaf shape.


Hanoke grass is growing very slowly. It may need more light.


Wood Poppies keep on making blossums by ones and twos.


This ground cover came from Lockerly and was reccomended by Jim Garner. I'll have to look it's name up again. It's surviving some very deep shade.
