  6. I've not seen one of these before - and can't decide whether I want to say 'isn't that beautiful' or 'oh! Yeuch!'

  10. Love those toad lilies. I've never seen one in person, but can imagine the fascination with this plant from the pictures.

  11. I like these too! I'm thinking it'd be perfect in my shade garden - orchid like in their beauty, interesting leaves, and shade loving, right?

    Lucy - I bet you'd really like this if you could see the whole plant. (not complaining about the close up! very pretty!!)

  14. I can not even compare it with any other plant, it is so different. It looks kind of mystical on your picture.
    P.S. I want to compliment your blog's design. It's simple, not busy, nothing distracts a reader from a post. Very nice.
