Plantsey

As I guzzle away at plant names and pictures at FytoGreen, Somerville, here are a smattering of the week's leafy highlights:

Fully shaded vertical garden research wall attached to the shed.

Campanula - Blue bells in full bloom, as can be seen on the top right corner of the wall.

Golden Serpent Fern- This particular one hangs from one of the research vertical gardens with minimum maintenance, and thrives pretty well.

Seaside daisy - is one of the easiest outdoor flowering plant to grow on the wall. So easy that it can be considered as a weed, actually.


Kalanchoe 'Elves' Bells' - A new type of Kalanchoe for which I can't find the exact species name online. They have a gaudier color than the regular Kalanchoes. They've done well on the trial walls as well.


Aloes from Aloe-aloe. The colors just look fantastic, don't they?


A rather adorable pot of grass.
It's an oz native, related to carnations, apparently.


A collection of red-foliaged landscape grasses at PlantMarks nursery that we visited on Thursday.


Astroturf! - Plastic lawn for those who wants a green lawn but can't be bothered to take care of it. I thought that the turf looked so real that they bothered to sprinkle a little weed here and there... and it turns out that the weed was real!


Grow your own mushroom kit! No sunlight needed =P
