Flowers of Passiflora caerulea in July.
Phygelius 'Winchester Fanfare', one of many fine cape fuchsia cultivars, blooming in June.  This plant was planted out of a 4" pot the previous August.  The tree in the background is Metasequoia glyptostroboides, the dawn redwood.
New shoots of Phyllostachys violascens in April.  This beautiful bamboo species will shoot in very cool weather and is probably capable of reaching a large size quickly in the Pacific Northwest.  The culms show an attractive purple coloring at various stages of development.
New shoot of Phyllostachys rubromarginata in spring.  This species has been called "red-margin bamboo" and is useful because it has strong culms with the longest internodes of any Phyllostachys.
Phyllostachys vivax.
Pittosporum eugenioides.
Pittosporum tobira, a hardy form from a plant in Seattle that has never frozen.
Podocarpus totara, growing on a swampy site in the garden.
Flowers of Puya mirabilis in August.  This plant is not hardy here, but it is easy and fun to grow in a pot.

Rosette of Puya mirabilis.
This Puya sp. came from a mixed packet from Chiltern Seeds.  It could be P. alpestris, P. bertroniana, or P. chilensis.
