		<description><![CDATA[Come January, I&#8217;m always curious to find what plants I miss, and I&#8217;m perplexed to find that I miss this plant this year. Its name is Berkheya purpurea, it&#8217;s not much on common names, but it sure is a spiky thing. Even the stems of its flowers are extravagantly flocked with this weird bunting of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ornamental oregano first caught my eye in my first Logee&#8217;s catalog when, as an impressionable lad of 15, I spied Origanum &#8216;Kent Beauty.&#8217; My interest in all plants Mediterranean had begun to percolate, and it was one of the catalysts. Years later, it wasn&#8217;t &#8216;Kent Beauty,&#8217; but &#8216;Pilgrim&#8217; I happened upon at a local nursery [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ladies and gentlemen, Buddleia &#8216;Black Knight&#8217; is in full bloom. Buddleia &#8216;Black Knight&#8217; was the first plant I ever bought for a garden, and a decade-plus later, when we purchased our first house, Buddleia &#8216;Black Knight&#8217; was the first plant I sought out. I have four now, three of which form the focal point of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was GOING to write a scathing entry about my annoyance with Linaria purpurea, but, as they so often do in the garden, things seem to have changed. L. purpurea comes with the Harry Potteresque common name purple toadflax. (That I&#8217;ve always liked.) Its nursery tag described its foliage as steely blue, its flowers little [...]]]></description>

Kolkwitzia amabilis, the beautybush, is the only old skool foundation shrub I love that came with my house. For the life of me, I can&#8217;t figure out why the species isn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My affair with Pennisetum alopecuroides cultivars ended almost before it began, and for that you can thank Pennisetum orientale &#8216;Karley Rose,&#8217; in my opinion a more exciting plant in so many ways, but I&#8217;m getting ahead of myself. I haven&#8217;t yet discerned whether &#8216;Foxtrot&#8217; (or &#8216;Fox Trot&#8217;) is purely an alopecuroides cultivar or a cross [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pronunciation // I&#8217;m ashamed to admit I never grew a creeping sedum until 2009. Unconscionable, I know. I tend to think big when starting beds (and I&#8217;ve started far, far more beds than I&#8217;ve finished) and top it off with the small stuff. Plus I always figured Sedums would be there, right? I mean, they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

A red Panicum! What more could we ask? It was the answer to everyone&#8217;s prayers and the cure for cancer, and it smelled like bacon frying. [...]]]></description>
