Uncommon & Unusual Bulbs & Plants

There is a wide world of wondrous plants out there besides those commonly grown in gardens. Some are strange, or even sinister in their appearance, and still others look like they sprang from the fertile imagination of Dr. Seuss!  Each of these weird and wonderful plants develop their strange qualities to help them to thrive in their native habitat. We love these horticultural oddities, and have grouped them here for those of you who might like to garden on the wild side!
