Here's a photo of my husband trying to piss me off. He's talking to the bamboo dude, trying to collect ammunition for his argument about why we should get bamboo. Personally, I am not willing to gamble on our ability to contain it. He talks of clumping varieties and rhizome barriers and stuff, but, honestly, I just don't want to get a plant that we would need to imprison. It seems like even if we could contain it, it wouldn't be very happy. I want happy, good-natured, non-aggressive plants.
Arisaema nepenthoides.
Here's what we eventually chose (minus the forgotten flat). (After we bought them, I noticed some mold on the sedum. Will neem oil help with that? Should we quarantine?)
The drive home. Does anyone know if this Ceanothus is Point Reyes? I love the color, and that form would work well in our planting strip.

"orange spikes protruding from the green foliage"
I know exactly what you're talking about. But I can't recall the name just now. (I'm drunk.) I call it "the harry potter plant". It makes a very nice inflorescence that looks like it belongs to a different plant.
You should make sure you get one.
If I ever see one again, I will get it! But I'm pretty sure I'd never seen one before. I hope I come across it again.
