Elin,
That "weedy" violet might look different if you try the tender young leaves as
a steamed vegetable or salad herb.
The /Viola canadensis/ kind of got out of control until I started harvesting
it. You can eat the blossoms too.

Jim,
Well, where do you get such a weird plant? And, how difficult is it to
cultivate?

Jim,
I live in Minnesota with long cold winters.
Two years ago, I grew /Hesperaloe/. When I removed the plants at the end of the
season, I forgot one. Last winter was a snowy one and in spring, there it was
alive and happy.
We've got even better snow cover this year.

Cliff,
It seems counterintuitive that the peaty, damp, low nutrient soil between
limestone boulders and bluffs would be acidic.
Did you check the pH or is this an assumption based on the plants growing there?

I know it is not a rock garden plant, but do any of you grow /Vigna caracalla/?
There seem to be two quite different plants being sold with that name.
Trying to figure it out from internet searches only further confuses the issue.
Any help in sorting this out would be appreciated.

Kyle,
Did the two vines have different colored flowers?
The white/lavender one has flowers in large terminal racemes with the buds
curling toward the tip.
The purple one has smaller clusters in the axils with the buds curling back
toward the stem.

Since we have been talking about plants interacting chemically, I thought this
post from another list might be of interest.

Shirley,
Don't we want Josef Halda to design one of those "mountain ranges" he described
when he spoke to our group?
He suggested of cementing vertical flat rocks with wet clay, no soil.
Does anyone have experience with this method?

Shirley,
Do you have /Kelseya uniflora/ on your list for the arboretum garden?
Does anyone else out there have experience growing it?

The other is called /P. verna/ 'Orange Flame.' This one is mound forming and
has larger flowers with an orange spot at he base of the petals. Is this one
