It’s likely that I’m going to start growing purple pitcher plants in my university’s greenhouse.
I’m so excited!! I’ll take loads of pictures of every step along the way.
Partridge berry is an edible member of the Rubiaceae (Coffee) family. Its scientific name is Mitchella repens, and it has white flowers with four petals. It’s pictured here with another plant, but you can see its oval-shaped leaves near the berries. It’s a creeping plant, meaning it has long sections of horizontal stem that stretch between flowers.
The moss also in this picture is a Dicranum. Likely Dicranum scoparium.

Filmmaker Ian Cheney came to New York in 2009 realizing how difficult it was to have a place to grow food. So he planted his mini farm in his old Dodge and the Truck Farm was born! (via The Pop-Up City)

Not a real plant, but fantastic nonetheless.
Wonderful project by Kathy Klein constructing what she calls Danmalas, mandala’s of naturally found objects like cones, flowers and leaves.

Ginger Lily
(Hedychium sp.) This ginger was protected from the recent frost by the proximity of the shade trees. Most of the ginger lilies and canna lilies here have been cut to the ground, and added to the compost.
