Salvia x 'Silke's Dream'.....it's got a little microphylla in it

It isn't just that they're the only game in town, I really like Salvias. Tony Avent claims this one is at least a USDA Zone 7....of course Tony is occasionally overly optimistic. Still, I'll try it outside next year.

Mahonia repens, Cyrilla racemiflora, Viburnum rufidulum, Hydrangea quercifolia: lingering fall color in the greenhouse

These are all wild collected US natives. I observe this only as a fact; there's no implied xenophobia. I like all plants. Anyway, the Mahonia was collected this year by Scott, Kevin, and Grayc in South Dakota. Joan, Amy, and I got the other three from Tennessee and Alabama a couple years back..
