About A unique, material-driven sculptural chair by Ian Spencer and Cairn Young of Yard Sale Project, Black Tongue explores unprecedented forms in wood. The wood is finished using the shou-sugiban method, an ancient Japanese finishing technique that preserves wood by charring it with fire. In addition to being aesthetically striking and elegant, the chaise is rot, pest, weather, UV light, and fire resistant. At once inspired by and made to support the human form, the French walnut hand-carved chair evokes a sleek, curving body. The chaise’s smooth surface highlights the wood’s natural grain, reflecting light to reveal the wood’s beautiful, organic imperfections.

Pictures of the Kips Bay 2012 Showhouse in Manhattan this year have been floating around blog land since March, maybe before? All of the rooms are quite lovely, especially this sunporch sitting room designed by Charles Pavarini III. If the name doesn't sound familiar to you - I'm sure photos from his portfolio will: I'm in love with these colorful velvet upholstered dining room chairs. Adding an ottoman to the center of the table keeps the line of the fireplace open and helps to add some fabulous visual interest. So great! More of the dining room. I mean - come on people - pumpkins in the fireplace? I would have lingered in this room for hours. Docents would have to usher me out - and shew me away from the windows. He certainly has a flair for whimsical interiors, and his color sense is near perfect! Keeping the palette tied to 3 main autumn inspired colors, then focusing on textures and patterns with those main colors in them. It's a unofficial rule of lots of interior designers I love, namely Mary McDonald and Jeffrey Bilhuber - now we can add Charles Pavarini to the list. The vignettes are beautiful too. So many layers, so many textures, so many shades of perfection. Lots of inspiration for every appreciation in his vast portfolio - give it a look when you've got some free time: http://www.pavarinidesign.com/. Happy Sunday!

Polianthes 'Pink Sapphire' is an incredibly exciting breakthrough in tuberose breeding from Huang Kuang-Liang at Taiwan's Taipei University. By crossing the florist Polianthes tuberosa with the hardier Mexican Polianthes howardii, Huang was able to develop a hardier tuberose strain with both fragrance and color. Polianthes 'Pink Sapphire', which has been superb in our trials, produces 3' tall stalks of fragrant, double pink flowers from late July until frost...simply amazing!

Several years ago, we received plants from India as Colocasia antiquorum. One exceptional clone was subsequently christened Colocasia 'Coal Miner' and became a 2007 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction. In appearance, Colocasia 'Coal Miner' looks like a larger version of Colocasia 'Illustris' except for emerging 2 months earlier (late March in NC), and not spreading underground as vigorously as Colocasia 'Illustris'. The black leaf pattern is similar to Colocasia 'Illustris', but the background leaf color is quite different (dark olive vs. medium green) and the emerging new leaves have a stunning velvet patina. For us, Colocasia 'Coal Miner' tops out at 54" tall, while Colocasia 'Illustris' only reaches 40". I think you will agree that Colocasia 'Coal Miner' is worth excavating a new hole.
Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' Wandflower has striking pink flowers that are borne on wiry stems over medium green foliage that is tinged with maroon. Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' blooms from late spring through mid fall. Also called Beeflower or Oenothera lindheimeri, this plant is a bumblebee favorite! Gaura lindheimeri 'Siskiyou Pink' is a cultivar of a perennial species native to the southernmost central US. Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' prefers full sun and is happy in average to poor, well-drained soil. Wandflower is a tap-rooted perennial so it is very drought tolerant. The tap root makes these difficult to move once they are settled in, so site them carefully.
