Names for plants

9 years ago

Would all my friends whom I got plants from at the Spring Swap please send me the names of the unmarked ones. I though I would know the names of all the plants, but I am lost. I need to know if they are for sun, part shade, shade, bog, ect. I was going to bring marking material, but it wouldn't have done any good since I shake so much I can't read my on writing. Thanks for the help
This will also sho some of the none attenders what they missed out on.

I have gotten all the plants named except two from Susan that looks alike but is different color and two in 4" square pots that looks like shade plants. Thanks for all the help I received.

The two that look alike are Epimediums-one has pink flowers and the other yellow. One small square pot had an Adenophora lilifolia in it and the other has an Aconitum (Monkshood). All like shade-part sun and are perennial.
All the best,
Susan
