japanese toad lily (tricyrtis 'taipei silk')
i picked this up at merrifield because it was so luscious i didn't care what it took to grow the thing. then i forgot about it. and it flourished. soooo impressed! welcome to my garden, toad lily. i'm getting more of you next year!

salvia 'hot lips'
another random find that turned out to thrive on neglect. has been blooming since i bought it 6 weeks ago. i think it's evergreen, too!

coral bells, variegate boxwood, creeping jenny
no virginia cottage is complete without these! i'm proud of this pot i designed, complete with creeping jenny, kale, coral bells and a tiny variegate boxwood. it's been looking pretty for two months now with minimal water in full sun.

sage

guara 'snow flower'
a mabel favorite. literally zero care. this one's been going strong since july.

variegated mystery shrub
is it azara microphylla 'variegata'? since i threw out the tag, your guess is as good as mine. possibly dwarf form, because i was careful to get something that would fill up about 3-4' and the azara sounds huge. i know it's evergreen. anyway, it's doubled in size in the month since i got it. and of course, without cuddling.
