A Wicked Garden
 

Hi!
It's spring again and I've got the fever like all of you! I added a new
section to A Macabre Garden, if you'd like to take a look.
http://www.dreamwater.com/sancho/wickedgarden.html
the site also features black flora, night blooming flora, malodorous flora
and herbal folklore (as well as the new "Wicked Garden" section that
explores plants with especially evil sounding names)
Plan your Halloween garden now!

Have to agree, never been interesting in gardening but looking at that and
then the wasteland outside my back door has got me thinking....

Then again the wasteland is all my own doing, 12 years hard work so far!

I've got some Gothic Grass you could add to your wasteland :)

don't think the site mentioned ~black grass~ , or ophiopogon nigrescens to
us gardeners :)
(it's not a grass at all really though, but a member of the orchid family)

if anyone wants some I shall be selling little pots of it for a modest fee
(amidst much teasing and ridicule no doubt !) at Beyond The Veil alongside
the t-shirts on our merchandise stall.

Thanks everyone - I'll add it to the site. The only black grass I currently
have listed is "black mondo grass". I've been seeing a lot of black bamboo
this year also, though it tends to be rather expensive.

There are some neat-looking black radishes:

There are some nearly black asparagus and eggplant

Any Wicked Garden ought to have the nifty Moon and Stars Watermelon:

The cake-taker, though, is probably Tacca chanteri, Bat Flower

Oh...um...Ophiopogon, which someone mentioned, is a member of the Lily
Family, and not an orchid.
