A New Beginning...

A passion remains, yet alive, and so a (yet another) new blog begins. Here's to plants, especially cool plants, better plants, but particulary to perennials (vivaces, stauden, vaste planten). I love them, and you should too.

They are majestic, in that they arise, of and by themselves, from the ground each year.

They are versatile, in that there are so many of them -- there is a perfect one for your specific situation.

They are beauty -- from foliage to flower, from giant to tiny, from wet to dry, there's one for you!

Please find following, a weekly posting of a "cool plant", usually a perennial, but occassionally otherwise.

Here's to dirt under your nails.
