Back from North Carolina



We're home from North Carolina which was very fun. Actually, we've been back for a few days, which is good because we completely missed the rain and have only have a little bit up here (maybe an inch today--though one more band possibly coming through according to weather.com).






I have a lot of pictures which probably appeal mostly to me but i did think it was fun to find what i'm pretty sure was a coral bell in the Great Smokys that looks almost exactly like the Dolce Mocha Mint coral bell being sold by Proven Winners.




This is the plant I found...


and this is the Mocha Mint--not identical but still kind of fun to see how the variations come about.



every other Huechera I saw was plain green. Of course, i may be wrong about what they are--there weren't any flowers, but i think they were Coral Bells...

More to come
