Pearlbush (<i>Exochorda racemosa</i>), at Purdue Horticulture Gardens. You can find this bush near the southeast corner of the Horticulture building. <i>Exochorda </i>is blanketed with white flowers in the spring, reminds me of the look of Vanhoutte Spirea, another spring flowering shrub that's more commonly planted around here.<br />

A closer look at the <i>Eryngium planum</i>, attracting a few soldier beetles. I noticed a few postings around the internet suggesting that this plant stinks like cat poop. So I went back to this plant to check it out. Yes, it really does smell like cat poop up close. That is probably what makes it attractive to insects.<br />

Another species of <i>Eryngium</i> in the gardens, planted fairly close to the first one, this is <i>Eryngium zabelii </i>‘Big Blue’. The common name for <i>Eryngium zabelii</i> is also Sea Holly. One might think<i> Eryngium</i> is some kind of a thistle but they are not related to thistle at all. Rather surprisingly they are part of the Apiaceae, the carrot family. <br />

Often daylilies escape from cultivation and become established along roadsides and unattended areas. Once they get started they will persist for many years. If you see these distinctive sprouts in the landscape this time of year the daylily flowers will be there in summer. Picture taken March 14, 2012.<br />

Here's a plant still happily green even with the wintry weather. These are leaves of <i>Acanthus mollis</i>. Notice the patch of snow in the picture. This snow had been on the ground for a couple of days. Acanthus mollis is native to the Mediterranean region and is thought to be the leaves depicted in the Corinthian order of classic architecture. Maybe the sculptors of ancient times liked to use this plant as a model because it was green and available when they were working through the winter.<br />

Here is a view of the interesting patterns of the cross-section of the stems. The air temperature has been below freezing for a couple days and some snow remains on the ground. I was interested in finding this stump to see if there was any sap getting exuded from the roots and then freezing but the ice on the stump could be from the fallen snow too.<br />
