Forgotten

First Paperwhite to bloom for the 09/10 winter.  I just think they are so cute.  Smells nice as well.  They are a cheerful hello, telling me winter is almost here.  Later in the season their cousins the Daffodils bloom.  Cheerful yellow trumpets, staring at the sun as if they are singing Spring is here, spring is here....

I like most bulbs.  Ok, I like effortless bulbs.  Stick-em-in-the ground and forget about them.  Then on their own time, when they choose, they surprise you with a stunningly beautiful flower.

Potato Vine Solanum laxum, is a vine I kinda forget I have.  Beautiful clusters of white flowers from fall into spring, occasional flowers throughout the year.  The dark evergreen foliage is pest free.  All I did with this plant, is planting it.  It's done everything else on its own.  No disease problem, never seen any pests (exept those bees that has a nest in it), never watered it or fertilized it...You could say it thrives on neglect.  The only thing I do to it is take photograps of it.  There is something so delicate about it, and I am terrified about pruning it.   This year I might get over my fear and trim it a bit...

This is ...I really don't know it's name.  Impulse buy. Like I am the ONLY gardener to take home a funky looking plant.  Got 3 of them, this is the only one still alive.  I thought this one was a goner this summer as well, though it managed to escape me ripping out dead plants.  Now I am wondering if the other two were really dead....
