The variety of plants available at some nurseries often surprises me. It's not uncommon to find some plant I've never seen or heard of before. It's hard to say what attracts me to a plant;  the flower, or the leaf, it's color or texture, or form or habit of growth.  Perhaps it's some story connected with the plant or it's history.  Sometimes it's simply the plant's name that gets my attention and captures my imagination.

Below is a list of some of my favorite and more unique plants in my garden.  I keep finding new ones, so the list will continue to grow as time goes on.
