Talinum brevifolium ........ PRICE 1@ $6.50
Bradshaw’s collection from San Juan Co. Ut at 4500’, three cm pink flowers,
produced over a long period in summer from mats of succulent moss rose foliage,
so far, this has not proven weedy but it has the potential.
Talinum okanoganense . PRICE
1@ $6.50
This sounds like a lake
monster from an X-Files episode, mats to 20cm white flowers held just above the
leaves, it is native from
Talinum paniculatum '
A tall Portulaca with masses
of flowers on intricately branching scapes to 3’. It blooms incessantly and weeds profusely but it does
put on quite a show and any unwanted seedlings are easy to eradicate,
Talinum spinescens ......... PRICE 1@ $6.50
A favorite of mine spinescens
is found almost exclusively on the scabland-basalt outcrops growing in pockets
of clay. Collected on Divide Ridge at 4850’; prostrate cushions of succulent
sausage leaves from a fleshy taproot give rise to a floating mass of ½” deep
rose flowers.
Tanacetopsis aff. pulvinata Halda PRICE 1@ $6.50
Collected in Tadjikistan at
4,400m; flowers are button-like on very short stems over mounds of silvery
filigree foliage.
tanecetum haradjanii ... PRICE 1@ $6.50
The finely dissected lacey leaves are intensely
silver, indeed this is just about as silvery as a plant can get, flowers don't matter,
Tanacetum niveum ............. PRICE 1@ $6.50
Seed grown from cultivated material ex Alplains, this form is a bit different from plants we have
grown under this name in the past, rosettes of silvery green dissected foliage,
clouds of white daisies; this has been a very easy plant and unlike so many
silvery things quite melt resistant under wet conditions.
Tanacetum
parthenium aureum PRICE
1@ $6.50
An attractive yellow foliaged Tansy, the foliage is
aromatic and a magnet to certain dipterans.
Tanacetum tibeticum ...... PRICE 1@ $6.50
Mojmir’s collections from 5000m in the Tanglangla
Pass dwarf shrubby silvery grey cushions and yellow flowers on short scapes, don’t miss out, this may be a one-time deal it is
quite a hike to go back for more seed.
Taraxicum albidum ............ PRICE
1@ $5.50
My favorite dandelion, large pure white flowers, at
one time I had only a single plant, which narrowly escaped disaster at the hands
of employees and visitors who kept trying to be helpful and weed it out. Not to
worry they are all hanging out with Hoffa and the plant finally flowered and
set seed; so now, we have plenty.
Taraxicum leucanthum . PRICE
1@ $5.50
A tiny plant that Mojmir found at 3500m in the Pamirs

5-15cm scapes above rosettes of linear leaves.

a charming dandelion from the Pamirs
with lovely pinkish white flowers, Halda sent us this
as a freebie and it has proved to be a wonderful rock garden plant, definitely
not a weed.
Telesonix jamesii ............... PRICE 1@ $6.50
A legendary monotypic Heuchera
relative from the Rockies separated from Boykinia
because it has ten stamens rather than five.
These are from Bradshaw’s collections from crevices in granite at 12600’
in Teller Co. co. Its fortunate
that it has spectacular hot magenta pink broad petaled
flowers, burdened as it is with a name that sounds like a cheap Fender guitar
knockoff; check out Panyoti’s excellent photo in
Rocky Mountain Alpines, if that doesn’t make you order it nothing will. It has
a reputation for being shy flowering and seems to do best grown root bound or
in a tight crevice. I’m surprised no one has crossed this to Heuchera or Tiarella or attempted
to produce a tetraploid.
Tellima grandiflora.................... 1@ $6.50
Fringe Cups is a monotypic
Saxifrage relative native to western North America, Coral Bell like spikes of
white-fringed flowers on stems to two feet. It may well cross with Mitella, Elmera, Tiarella, Heuchera, or maybe Tolmiea if anyone has tried this let us know.

Low spreading mats of gray lavender like foliage,
showy rose-purple flowers, an obscure plant that came to us from Siskiyou.

to
Teucrium chamaedrys ssp. tauricolum
PRICE 1@ $6.50
Hey! Don’t blow past this just because you already
grow chamaedrys and think it a bit mundane, I bet you
don’t grow Subspecies tauricola and if so not from a Holubec collection; these will change your life, wealth,
power, sex, fame, well probably not, but your garden will look nice.
Teucrium chaemadrys compactum ex R.M.R.P.
PRICE 1@ $6.50
Wealth,
power, sex, fame even when you are running short of garden space.
Teucrium chamaedrys variegata PRICE 1@ $6.50

enough for trough or alpine house.
Teucrium
massiliense .... PRICE
1@ $6.50
A sub shrubby species to
nearly a meter native around the

A subshrubby
species to one meter in height
Thalictrum aquilegifolium alba PRICE 1@ $8.00

Very tiny whatever the name, cute fern like gray green
leaves, nice in a trough, don't bother with the flowers.

year foliage texture is fine and they do not appear to be huge growing.
Thermopsis carolineana (villosa)
PRICE 1@ $6.50
Carolina Lupine downy

thymbra capitata............... PRICE
1@ $6.50

Outstanding variegated
thyme, the bushy little shrublets are lovely even
without the masses of pinkish purple flowers.
Thymus bucharicum ......... PRICE 1@ $6.50
A rarely seen Thyme that Mojmir
found in the dry stony hills of
Thymus caespititius ........ PRICE
1@ $6.50
A tiny tufted plant, it makes tight cushions suitable
for a trough, easy as long as it stays on the dry side.
Thymus cherlerioides ... PRICE 1@ $5.50
Known as Silver Needle Thyme; it evokes disturbing images
of cheerleaders with far too many piercings; daydream
over, the silvery-gray needle like foliage is most unusual for a Thyme, its wet
sensitive and needs sharp drainage.
thymus comosus ................. PRICE 1@ $5.50
Low growing splendid plant to 6", aromatic leaves
in pairs along trailing stems clustered round heads of bright pink flowers,
extremely showy.
Thymus granatensis 'Like a Rock'
PRICE 1@ $8.00
At 2200m in the Sierra Nevada this forms dwarf woody
mounds the linear leaved cushions topped with heads of pink flowers bearing
long purple bracts, Mojmir speaks highly of it. Our
selection with rock hard cushions when grown lean in full sun, actually I
prefer the pre silver bullet stuff this just reminds me of car commercials but
I digress the Thyme is nice, hum a little Ramblin Gamblin Man and plant a few.
Thymus leucotrichus .... PRICE 1@ $5.50
Outstanding creeping sub shrubby Thyme from
Thymus mastichina Ex Alplains PRICE 1@ $6.50
A rare and choice silvery
white shrubby tetraploid apoendemic
Spanish species, with an incredible fruity perfume scent, flowers are creamy
yellow in little puffballs. Seedlings from cultivated plants, these seem to be
the pure species but contain enough variability to make for some interesting
selections.
Thymus nitens ...................... PRICE 1@ $5.50
A rare species, it makes a nice specimen for a larger
trough, the dark evergreen foliage and multitudes of huge pink flowers make it
very popular here.
Thymus praecox ssp. arcticus coccineus PRICE 1@ $5.50
The so-called red flowered creeping Thyme, we listed
it as serpyllum coccineus
previously, John says this is the more correct name; flowers are more reddish
purple to my eye, the name apparently refers to the red winter foliage. a super plant for ground cover, it
doesn’t seem to mind being stepped on and flowers all summer.
Thymus pseudomastichina PRICE 1@ $6.50
I’m unclear if this is
really a species or just a mis-named plant that
passes for mastichina.
thymus quinquecostatus ibukiensis PRICE 1@ $5.50
Choice low mat former with abundant large pink flowers
from
Thymus quinquecostatus ibukiensis alba PRICE 1@ $5.50
The rare white form of the above from John Hargrove of
H & H.
thymus richardii ssp. nitidus
PRICE 1@ $5.50

John says richardii is correct, I wont argue,
whatever the name it is outstanding.
Thymus serpyllum 'Doretta Klaber'
PRICE 1@ $5.50
One of the better named ones, smelly foliage, flowers are larger than
the type, nice habit a bit like minus.
thymus serphyllum elfin PRICE 1@ $6.50
Tight domes of microscopic leaves that hump up to form
a rock hard high-domed cushions that rival Gypsophila aretioides
in quality. It rarely flowers which hardly matters, ‘Elfin’ is by far the
finest Thyme for trough culture or for planting in crevices between pavers,
this ranks as one of the top cushion plants we have ever grown, but beware of
inferior clones that are often distributed under this name.
Thymus serpyllum minus PRICE 1@ $6.50
The plant often passed off as Elfin in the trade, flat
mats only 1/4 inch high of tiny leaves, it hugs the contours of the ground,
beautiful between paving stones it doesn't dome up like Elfin, and is much
faster growing and one of the best.
Thymus thracicus .............. PRICE 1@ $5.50
Unusual shrublets with small
lavender scented foliage; its one you seldom see, courtesy of H & H
Botanicals.

plants are neat and compact.

Tradescantia sweet kate PRICE
1@ $8.00
Brilliant golden foliage and dark blue-purple flowers
this one is best in part shade.
Tricyrtis
Until recently, the
Toad Lilies have languished in obscurity. I always grew a broad selection but I
also loved toads; their golden eyes, the cute way they suck them in to help
them swallow, the alien sounding trilling calls, Amplexus
in the spring was always a big event, at least for the anurans. Well maybe not
just for the anurans, but I digress, Tricyrtis have
become trendy, all those Hosta growers are getting
tired of monocultures and branching out into other shade lovers and Tricyrtis have a lot to offer. They are for the most part
easy to grow, and flower late in the season when they can command your full
attention. The flowers are complex often intricately spotted with an
understated exotic charm. Non-gardeners, seeing them for the first time often
ask if they are some kind of Orchid. Most species are stoloniferus
and will quickly clump up in the garden; division is generally unnecessary
however, if you do divide, clumps discard the eyes that flowered and save the
new eyes. The rosette that flowers generally goes monocarpic,
a fact that is obscured by the many new plantlets.
Tricyrtis Angel's halo .. PRICE
1@ $8.00
This has kicked around the
nursery since 1998 and we decided it was time it paid for its keep, buy it or
we will be forced to sacrifice it to Cthulu.
Tricyrtis 'Eco Snow Leopard' PRICE
1@ $8.00
Another of Hammer’s
castoffs, Jim is very opinionated as to what is worthy of garden space; we
plant anything and rarely get out the roundup.
Tricyrtis 'Amandogawa' ('Eco Yellow Spangles') PRICE
1@ $12.00
A hybrid between T. bakeri and T. flava with arching
stems bearing light yellow open flowers spotted with red dots. Langhammer deemed it inferior and ripped it out of his
garden which is how we came by it, we will reserve judgment until we see it
flower, some of Hammers castoffs turn out to be very good plants.
Tricyrtis x 'Kohaku' ...... PRICE
1@ $12.00
An outstanding hybrid
between hirta and macrantha
ssp. Macranthopsis it is yellow in bud like Macranthopsis but opens to a specked flat 'Miyazaki' like
flower but with a more yellowish background.
Tricyrtis x 'Lemon Twist' PRICE 1@ $12.00
A cross
between flava and ohsumiensis
made by Darrell Probst, with outstanding finely
spotted light yellow flowers and speckled green leaves.
Tricyrtis x '
lovely fall blooming Toad Lily from japan, strange speckled blossoms
produced in the leaf axils on graceful arching stems. I love them, but then
again, I also love toads, especially the giant mouse eating varieties; anything
that eats mice is O.K. in my book. This plant is often sold as a hirta but Hammer said lose it; it
only adds to the confusion.
TRICYRTIS X 'Togan' clonal PRICE
1@ $8.00
Beautiful white-throated
lavender flowers with little or no spotting; these are from Langhammer’s
clone and vegetatively propagated.
Tricyrtis aff. ohsumiensis PRICE
1@ $8.00
Yellow spotted flowers in mid summer, Langhammer identified these, keyed and compared to his
extensive collection of living material. Tricyrtis
are hopelessly messed up in the nursery trade, but little by little, we are
getting them sorted out.
TRICYRTIS AFFINIS Ex Rothman PRICE
1@ $8.00
The plants that have flowered to date have been the
attractive albida form, although it would not
surprise me to have a few spotted ones show up. Rothman’s stuff is usually
quite true to name but he likes his toadies and anytime more than a single
species is grown hybrids are likely.
TRICYRTIS DILaTATA Ex Rothman PRICE
1@ $8.00
These haven’t flowered yet but Hammer saw them in leaf
and thought they could be right, at least they didn’t give him another heart attack.
Jim scared everyone last year, he is lucky as hell and now bionic with extra
energy, he was out of the hospital with parts installed and showed up at a rock
garden meeting a couple days later. Jim did see them bloom this year and says
they are right, but that most authorities consider dilatata to be
synonymous with macropoda, we retain dilatata for
provenance if nothing else.
TRICYRTIS
FORMOSAna TRUE PRICE
1@ $8.00
These are the real thing, at least according to Hinkley, Hammer seemed less confident, a very late
flowering plant that is on the tender side. 3’ stems topped with dark flowers, and more popping from the axils, true or not, it is
a lovely plant.
TRICYRTIS
FORMOSAna variegata PRICE 1@ $8.00
An attractive variegated
form of formosana ex Heronswood
stock that Dan brought back from Japan, very nice and quite rare in gardens, I
find formosana a bit tender.
Tricyrtis aff. hirta
......... PRICE
1@ $8.00
Pure hirta or something very
close to it, Hammer says they look right; purple spotted flowers in autumn. If
someone questions the veracity of these in your garden, simply kneel down and
peer closely at the plant, pick a flower and carefully tear it apart all the
time muttering to yourself; (it helps if you can produce a hand lens at this
point). Point out to them the tiny (nonexistent) hairs on the ovary, and insist
it must be correct; works on all but the best.
Tricyrtis aff. hirta dark select (‘Kinkazan’) PRICE
1@ $8.00
As above but with the
spotting on the petals fused giving the effect of an overall dark petal. The
British National Collection has a photo of a plant they are calling T. hirta ‘Kinkazan’ which appears
identical and is probably the same plant.
Tricyrtis aff setouchienis PRICE
1@ $12.00
An extremely large
flowered plant that we got from Langhammer, Jim
insists it keys to setochinensis however it is quite
different from the Heronswood setochinensis
we offer. I believe he got this from a plant sale so it is always possible it
is some sort of hybrid.
Tricyrtis hirta alba ....... PRICE 1@ $8.00
From Langhammer's seed, Jim
has seen them in bloom and proclaims them pure hirta
Alba.
Tricyrtis hirta 'Moonlight' PRICE
1@ $8.00
A chartreuse sport of hirta
‘Variegata’ the leaf color is unique and eye
catching, this needs a fair bit of shade, or it will burn.
Tricyrtis hirta 'Variegata' PRICE
1@ $8.00
One of the many variegated forms of hirta that has been selected over the years this has a neat
narrow edge of creamy white on the leaves and the typical purple speckled hirta flowers.
Tricyrtis hirta ex '
Seed grown material from
Rothmans clone of ‘
Tricyrtis japenese hyb. 'hatatogisa' PRICE
1@ $8.00
Formosana hybrid, amethyst flowers face upward on branching scapes, very showy and unlike pure formosana
its hardy here; great for late fall color.
Tricyrtis macrantha (ssp. macranthopsis) PRICE 1@ $12.00
Previously offered as ssp. Macranthopsis, Langhammer keyed
it last summer and insists it is straight macrantha
and I trust Jim’s taxonomy more than Terra Nova. A trailing species with long
tubular yellow flowers speckled on the interior with burgundy, best appreciated
trailing down from a high rock wall where you can gaze upward into the interior
of the flowers or even in a hanging basket. We normally disdain baskets but
could easily make this an exception.
A robust form of macropoda with stems that can reach 5’ in height, this flowers in the axils as well as producing the typical
terminal display of lavender spotted flowers.
Tricyrtis perfoliata .... PRICE
1@ $15.00
A cool thing with its
distinctive skewered foliage and showy yellow flowers in habit it is a bit like
macranthopsis and drapes nicely over a wall.
Tricyrtis puberula ........ PRICE 1@
$12.00
Another plant in the latifolia group, with large basal rosettes of leaves, very
slow to offset I love it the flowers are dark and sinister, strange even by Tricyrtis standards.
Tricyrtis 'Raspberry Mousse' PRICE
1@ $12.00
A new one from sunny border
it is another dark petaled hirta
a bit lighter than ‘Kinkazan’ these spontaneous dark
forms show up frequently so much so that I suspect they are Viral induced.
Tricyrtis setouchienis HC 92 PRICE
1@ $15.00
A rare species endemic to
the Seto Inland Sea region of Eastern Japan, stems to
2.5’ with purple spotted exceptionally broad petaled
flowers. It is a good grower clumping up quickly and performing well for us.
Tricyrtis stolonifera pink form Ex Hammer PRICE 1@ $8.00
A nice pink selection from
Jim, its always nice to release some of the things we carefully hoard. Brigitta and I cleaned the stock house this fall and quite
a number of lost treasures appeared.
Tricyrtis sp. Chinese Dwarf PRICE 1@ $15.00
Another courtesy of Yinger it forms colonies of short stems topped by stolonifera like flowers it makes an interesting
groundcover.
Trollius x cultorum 'Cheddar' PRICE
1@ $12.00
A most attractive cultivar with the cream colored
bowls posses a subtle beauty quite unlike any other Trollius
we offer.
Trollius chinensis 'Gold Queen' PRICE
1@ $6.50
One of the showiest
species with golden yellow bowl shaped flowers on 3-foot stems
Trollius cultorum 'Orange Globe' PRICE
1@ $6.50
Crosses between chinensis asiaticus and europaeus ‘Orange Globe’ is fantastic with huge translucent
glowing orange flowers.
Trollius hondoensis ....... PRICE 1@ $8.00
This came from the 1996
ARGS seed exchange, Fred Case was the donor; it turns out Jim Briggs sent this
to fred from Japan.
