From someone trying to learn the proper names of plants by their genus, I found this post to be alarmingly educational! THANK YOU Nan!
And may I add that the plant combination in the photo of the Viola Grypoceras, Hosta Venusta ‘Masquerade’, and the Asplenium platyneuron, that I had to take a step back! It’s such a powerful combination! ♥

“Alarmingly educational” – I love that, Donna – thanks!

I’ve followed you for a while now, Nan, but quietly and without the possibility of clicking LIKE or commenting, because I didn’t have an account here… but this was just brilliant, so I registered just to tell you that I love your writing and photography – in a word, the combination is exquisite. I’ll guess that you can’t work outside much these winter days, because this is a real gem of a post – so much research and care obviously went into it! I think it’s so generous of you to share your passion for plants and learning with all of us! Thank you!

Hi Clark! I’m pretty sure that anyone can comment, but I really appreciate you bothering to sign up to “like” the post too. Actually, I’ve spent the last few warm, sunny days working outside, emptying the manure bins and spreading the contents on the garden, and admiring all of the plants that are blooming here. But yes, the post did take a good bit of time: over a year of thinking and nearly a week of writing and researching. It was worth it, though, because now I can use that brain space for other stuff.
