  • Tradicantia, also called Spiderwort ranges in color from this pure white through purple. There are no yellows that I know of. It is a reliable perennial in my coastal Maine gardens. It does flop as the flowers pass and then goes dormant, which can be annoying. When it starts to flop, I cut it back to the ground. A fresh flush of leaves will appear in a week or so. The new shoots are edible.

  • This is a container of mixed annual flowers. The conatiner is an iron caldron. Each year, I put flowers that are left over from other things so there is always an unplanned assortment. This was a successful year. The flowers are pink impatiens, purple petunias, purple salvia and white allysum.

  • hosta, Great Expectations, Johnny Jump Up violas and Leopard's Bane. There are buds to Alium Moly on the right. Leopard's Bane, the yellow flowers, go dormant after blooming. By then, the hosta leaves will have filled out and covered up the 'hole' left in the garden.

  • White Forsythia is an early flowering shrub in my coastal Maine garden in April
  • Dodecatheon meadia is a member of the primrose family. It is a perennial in my coastal Maine gardens and blooms in May. It is commonly called Shooting Star, Mad Violets, Mosquito bills or Sailor's Caps. For a list of protected and endangered wildflowers in Maine see <a href="http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat">http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat</a> Wildflowers should be left undisturbed where they are found. To uproot and attempt to transplant them puts the species at risk. Wildflowers are dependent on very specific soil, water and light requirements which a home gardener can rarely reproduce.
  • Allium ×proliferum, also called Common Onion, Egypitian Walking Onion, Egyptian Onion, and Tree onions, are a common, herbaceous perennial onion in Maine gardens. The greens are edible and especially good in spring when they are tender. They can be used like scallion greens but have a stronger onion flavor. The flowering tops turn into bulbs that then drop from their own weight to the ground where they then root, thus "walking" across a garden..
