| Spanish Bluebell Hyacinthoides hispanica very pretty woodland plant. The entire thing is quite poisonous if ingested. Bad is that it is said to be invasive woodland plant.

Each bulb will produce about 12-15 flowers hanging from sturdy stalks surrounded by strap-like leaves. Best planted in clusters.

| Opuntia Opuntia cacanapa This is the Texas/southwestern variety. It is faster grower but it is hardy only to zone 7. the Opuntia compressa is the one that I need to get because it is native to where I live. Here is the info on it: Latin Name: Opuntia compressa syn. O. humifusa Common Name(s): Eastern Prickly Pear, Low Prickly Pear, Devil's Tongue USDA Hardiness Zones: USDA Zones 2 - 10. I originally wrote that it was hardy only to Zone 4, but a reader, Victor, wrote to tell me that it is actually native in zone 2 and that it's a common plan in his parents Biggar, Saskatchewan area (Zone 3). This plant is hardier than I. Mature Size: 6 - 18" (h) x 12- 30" (w). Eastern prickly pear will grow a bit larger in warmer climates and ideal conditions. Exposure: Sun to Partial Shade Bloom Period: Spring - Mid-summer Description: Eastern prickly pear tends to spread open and low as it grows. | 'Ellisiana' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
