OTHER PLANTS
In addition to daylilies we grow many other perennials (and annuals)including purple
coneflower, black-eyed susan, and bee balm. We also have over quite a few house
plants. We particularly like the unusual --castor bean plants, datura, brugmansia to
name a few.
For the past five years or so we have entered plants in the Durham Fair. This is the
largest Town fair in Connecticut,attracting over 300,000 people for its four day stint in
late Sept .We won Best of Show in 2005 in the houseplant division with a lollipop
plant -pachystatus lutea. Below are some images of some plants we have grown.
