Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Defiance! A lone "Purple De Oro" dayly blooming among the hideous "Stella D'Oro" masses. Much prettier color but the name, oy vey. "Stella D'Oro" means "Star of Gold" and reminds me of a certain S-shaped breakfast cookie with the same name. "Purple De Oro" is a ridonkulous name meaning "Purple Of Gold" and even if it made sense it would still need to be spelled with an apostrophe, like Stella's name.

Pretty 😍 I have a bunch of Stella de oro. I got them free from someone that no longer wanted to split them.
