It is kind of odd-looking in that sort of yellow-green color (the camera didn’t capture it very well in this image), but you’re right, it’s unique. I think I like the velvety pinkish red of the species better, though.

I have talked about Latin in the garden in my weekly column - but you have shown me a whole new way of expanding on that - with examples. And ideas for new plants for my garden. I hope your readers will visit me for my giveaway - Right Rose Right Place by Peter Scheider and CowPots. And I also thank you for the garden bloggers idea gallery. I have already made some additions. <em>You're really having fun with the giveaways this month, Pat! I hope you get lots of responses for your celebration.
