My favourite plant:- Buddleia
My Review Notes:- As usual the Buddleia\'s are a powerful magnet for the butterflies, Black Night is right in front of my bedroom window just over the computer, (have 3 different varieties) it is always full of butterflies, humming birds, sphinx moths and an assortment of other flying critters to entertain me with their antics.

My favourite plant:- Asclepias (red butterfly - annual)
My Review Notes:- Asclepias is rather unspectular and a bit plain, when viewed alone, but over all it is pleasing to view, this is worthy of my garden and i am glad the seedlings survived that late spring hail storm. This plant is a powerful attractant for the butterflys.

My favourite plant:- Heuchera
My Review Notes:- In zone 5 I really find this to be quite an outstanding family. You can\'t beat the color range in foliage from greens to red, purple and amber. The flower also attracts humming birds. I have several in my gardens that range from red-purple to one called Geisha\'s Fan which is frosted lightly with silver undertones. They stay in color all winter for the most part and stand up well to the heat in high summer and the blistering cold of winter. They range over a large number of zones.

My favourite plant:- Sarcococca ruscifolia
My Review Notes:- Truly a favorite, as its glossy leaves provide year round interest, in a neat, vase like shape. Late in the year, it develops shiny purple berries which precede insignificant flowers... Insignificant if you are LOOKING at them.. but OH what a fragrance.. gets my blood moving in early February.. the fragrance is elusive, but etheral, surrounding you like a mist... Wonderful plant to have, since it is a conversation pieces due to its early February fragrance. Check out an image on http://www.jardinsud.com/photo/accueil.asp?choix=7

My favourite plant:-
My Review Notes:- I couldnt choose just one: So here are some suitable for the south of Chile that i really like them. Azalea Fuchsia, the native one (Magellanica) is found everywhere. I like more the hybrids. Penstemon Helleborus, white and dark pink. Crinodendron Hookerianum, native but not easy to find in garden center Alstromeria , i can see them along some roads.But it is dissapearing because the people take them. Sometimes is found in garden centers. Pieris \"Forest Flame\", the red leaves are wonderfull. Prunus Laurocerasus Drymis Winteri, native, white flowers, lustrous leaves. Viburnum Tinus, have a lot of them in my garden, in winter it blooms fantastic. Lonicera Japonica, i really like for fences. Lupinus, one of my favorite between my favorites. Salvia, also one of my favorite between my favorites. Juniperus , i like the horizontal ones. Buxus sempevirens Echium Candicans, i cant find it in the garden centers, i have seem it in some gardens. Nepeta, i really like it for borders. Lavandula, it is a must. Rhododendron, it is not one of my favorites but you can find it almost in every garden in my city. Ajuga Reptans, i dont know better ground cover than Ajuga. Crataegus Laevigata, its blooming is amazing, i dont have it but there is a street of my city with them and it really looks beautifull with its pink flowers. Zantedeschia Aethiopica i have it sorrounding a part of my pond. Agapanthus, i find so romantic this plant , i have the white ones in my \"white garden\", and the blue in front of Choysia, they look pretty. Euphorbia Characias, i really like some of them, even so are not easy to find in my city. i have ones with very purple leaves that blooms very yellow. it is beautifull. I would like to have E. Polychroma. Hosta, it love them, but are hard to find. Brunfelsia Calycina, i have one protected, to the north (more sun) are bigger and its flowering is generous. Its flowers changing color from lila to white surprises me. Sorry if i let myself writing so much, tell me if it is not the way you want and i will do it again.
