Re: Great plant for holiday pots in the North East, but what is it?

Wow! I love you gardeners who get the latin names for these plants. I "google" the name and get pictures of amazing orange trees that could easily look like this thorny bush during winter.

Powell200, it appears to be a strain of orange. Let us know
how it tastes when they ripen.

Re: Mystery Woodland Plant

I think the heart-shaped leaf plant is a violet. I also have them growing under deciduous trees with a high canopy. Mine bloomed purple and are just now fading. Very tiny flowers, but they actually have a lovely fragrance and will last a few days in water if picked.

Re: Astilbe???

I agree with Linneaz that this is Spirea douglasii. "Google" it and you will find similar pictures of this flower. I found this intriguing because the spirea that I know has an umbrel shape to the flower and serrated leaves.

In this picture the flower resembles a type of amaranth, so it caught my attention. It looks large. Did you grab some seed?
