I'm in SE Portland too, and I'd love to have some in my own yard, but I can't find it locally. I checked with Cistus, Joy Creek, and Portland Nursery, but no luck. It looks like my only option is to take a day trip up to Far Reaches Farm in Port Townshend (or, you know, wait patiently for a local nursery to start carrying it again, but that's no fun!). I'm hoping maybe there's a secret persicaria nursery in town that I just don't know about...Caitlinhttp://www.biscuitsandjam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-23508292444466114222012-06-26T02:01:45.072-07:002012-06-26T02:01:45.072-07:00Oh yes everything is lovely, but that last one is ...Oh yes everything is lovely, but that last one is very special.

It seems to be often overused and not too imaginatively, but your Tiger and Dragon combo made me gasp out loud. Likewise the first Oxalis and Verbena photo really struck me.

I love your Oxalis 'Iron Cross' with Verbena, as you say they look too perfect to be real. your foliage is looking lush, I imagine you have had some rain recently? How much do you irrigate? Sedum are really easy to propagate from leaf or stem cuttings; one stem can produce, maybe half a dozen plants or more. I posted abpout how it here. http://myhesperidesgarden.wordpress.com/2012/05/20/the-greenhouse/ <br />ChristinaChristinahttp://myhesperidesgarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-75946818566251025582012-06-22T20:55:21.649-07:002012-06-22T20:55:21.649-07:00Although I haven't been able to post in six mo...Although I haven't been able to post in six months, I always follow your work and rely on you for that eye candy to enrich my soul particularly when I'm in the hospital.
