A few other blooming items for me today.
(and now that shrubs are legal, a couple of them, too).
1. Strobilanthes rankanensis. A shrub, not hardy here, so in a pot. It\'s starting to get big, so not sure what I\'ll have to do with him. All budded up, but just one open today. As luck would have it, we\'re leaving town for 2 wks, so I\'ll probably miss the whole show.
2. A tricyrtis - not sure which one. You can see it\'s in a cage because they otherwise get eaten.
3. My oxalis crassipes Rosea is going to rebloom. I thought it was done (in June), but it\'s got new buds and starting to open.
4. Rabdosia longituba is a woodland perennial which is in full bloom now. This blue one is the straight species. I\'ve had both white and a pretty lavender in years past, but either they reverted or I just lost them. The species can be a little rambunctious, but in my woods, I don\'t mind.
5. My pet plant, Ainsliaea cordifolia has been budded for over a month - today\'s buds look like they\'ll open soon. Of course I\'ll be out of town for the show. Sigh ...
