Title: Mystery Plant
Post by: landofoz on Apr 28, 2013, 12:07:51 AM
Alrighty.  Let's play a fun game of Naaaaaame that plant!  

This plant was something I couldn't kill at the other house.  It was well known for being able to be transplanted without dropping blooms.  What the heck is it? I can't remember for the life of me.  I do have some pictures, I hope they help... If they are too big, I'm sorry - but photobucket is all weird and I can't find the photos once I upload them.  I will have to figure that out.

It's definitely not foxglove and I don't think it's penstemon, though it may be...

Alrighty, I was at the local nursery today and saw this plant from about 100 feet away.  My sister was with me and I said, "THAT'S IT!" and flew across the hot, concrete and scooped it up!  It IS a kind of penstemon!!  Thanks for the help, ladies!
