Well, on my first trip, they had a whole bunch of this unidentified plant in the free section. The foliage looked remarkably like lantana, but from the buds that were present, I could tell that it wasn't. But no one knew what it was. So I started calling it "Plant Surprise!" It took, it seems for ever for the stalks to mature and finally bloom, but now I have an explosion of little white "airplanes" all over. I put them in a huge container along with a rescued petuna, some lantana, microfiber grass, snap dragons and a few other plants. I just guest that it would take full sun.
Well, that stuff just grew and grew and grew! It's gorgeous. By coinsidence, everything in the post is white, with the exception of the snapdragons that provide just a little splash of color.
But as of yesterday, I still had no idea what this plant was and only learned its identity this morning after posting some pics on Gardenweb.com.
I'm so in love with this plant, that I went looking for some more information on them and that's how I stumbled upon Dave's Garden. I also want to share my joy with you all too so I'll also upload some pics!
