I think my favorite find of the season was black mondo grass, also for the Japanese garden, and which seems to be loving life where I planted it, as it almost immediately started putting out little purple flowers.

very interesting. i went this morning,poked around and came back. it was nice.
i have been taking notes about plants i like and then looking them up for what is practical and how to take care of them.
i'm such a noob with it, i wont get most of it going until next summer, just gathering info now like planting stuff and a few small plants to see if i don't kill them. people are txting us their plants and suggestions too.
i have this book -- its very inspirational:
