Group: Integrifolia

Very frilly with dwarf blue-lavender petals. Thin long blue veins.

This is apparently a dwarf variety.

Group: Vining (I think???)

Medium/large double flowers with deep vibrant purple/violet petals. Deep purple petals with a thick deep pink vein. Cream anthers on light purple/violet filaments.

Group: Late, Large-flowered

Medium flowers with wide lavender petals (White near the center), dense pink-violet veins. Anthers are black with yellow filaments.

Sedum makinoi 'Ogon' has leaves that emerge white/pale gold and fade to a lime green over time. Mature stems are green with pink/cream blush when extremely stressed.

Unless very established, this plant does not overwinter well in containers. (In zone 7A, a cutting of this in a garden bed in the winter would barely survive)

"Huangwenzhu" is 2 words. "Huang" which means "yellow", "wen zhu" which generally means bamboo mound, or something similar in that way.

This is a variegated bamboo with yellow variegation.

This is currently the longest scientific plant name, at 38 letters.

Runner up is at 37 letters, Austrocephalocereus dolichospermaticus.

I strongly dislike the plant...
Sure, it smells great.... but........................................................
It gets everywhere, not just from neighboring properties, but also from birds and animals eating the berries and spreading them.

If left untamed it grows up to giant woody bushes that can be 7 or 8 feet tall!!!! It is very painful to cut them down.

The back of the leaves is silvery with brown dots. Red berries in fall.

Every year when this moss does asexual reproduction, it drops and sheds a lot of leaves. These dropped leaves are propagatable.

This subsp. can be identified by the amount of "spiral lines", or the amount of diagonal rows in each head.

subsp. amydros has 8
subsp. polyphylla has 5

This serissa is very compact and is highly variegated.

Flowers are also white and are regular sized.

This serissa has medium sized leaves, with a thin white edge of variegation. It is not a compact variety.

It has large, toothed light pink flowers .

Serissa is probably one of my favorite mini-trees to use, because it has pretty flowers and tiny leaves. It is also easy to get the "matured trunk and roots" look.

Serissa foetida means 'foul smelling' in a way, which refers to when it is trimmed, it has an "interesting" smell.

A common vegetable you can buy at Asian supermarkets, it is easy to grow from cuttings. The stems are usually cooked without the leaves and are hollow.

In chinese they are "Kong xin cai", basically "Hollow Vegetable".

There seem to be 3 different "forms" or "types" of this.
There is my favorite form, a purple flowered one, a white flowered one, and another form that has very small flowers (also white).

This is my favorite salvinia. S. cucullata has tear-drop shaped leaves that form a tiny mat. They stick up facing one direction, and are very small. It is a "small"-"medium" salvinia.

Commonly known as "ogre ear" or "shreks ear".

When you press down on the pads of leaves, water runs up the crack in the leaf, filling up as a water orb (the leaves of salvinia are hydrophobic). It is very satisfying to watch.
