Spiranthes cernua 'Chadd's Ford', probably the easiest, along with Bletilla striata, of all the hardy orchids. It's in danger of being shaded out by Nippon or Montauk Daisy (which was once Chrysanthemum nipponicum, but is now Nipponanthemum something-or-other, I think) and the ubiquitous Begonia grandis.Below is Colocasia 'Black Magic' in combo with more favorite coleus. One project for this weekend is to start rooting cuttings of these.
This is another fall favorite, Pineapple Sage (Salvia elegans or rutilans...too lazy to check.) P.S. - Phillip calls it 'elegans', so that's good enough for me.
An aster purchased many years ago from Montrose, called "Our Latest One".

The latest of the Hedychiums to join the party, H. coronarium growing in too much sun for its own good, but doing okay. Still waiting for bloom on thyrsiforme and gardnerianum...

Hi, Jeff--Your bloom day postings are like shopping lists--well, maybe wish lists. I can't wait to see your other Hedychiums--and the Colocasia with the coleus is stunning.Seems like you're getting your gardening time in despite school . . .
