The white one looks amazing, especially backlit like this. I believe most of these are north american plants but the nicest ones I’ve seen used in a garden was at Chanticleer in Pennsylvania and this one at an English garden back in 2008.

Is that first photo taken in the wild? Haven’t ever seen that one.

is that little boy walking with crutches or on stilts? Neat picture!
Yeah it was in the wild. I’ve found two populations of them so far in my county.
I also have no idea why the other ones loaded. I thought I just clicked on one.
Well one good thing about posting here is you can always go back and edit it if/when you figure out what happened there. If not, we now know it wasn’t intended.

I really like the bog and wetland plants. But I do enjoy the typical deciduous trees and their fall beauty. I like nature in general. Fungi, insects, plants and if you count it, the sky from the shades of sunrises , the shakes of clouds and celestial bodies. I just bought a constellation book for the winter. Want to study up on it a bit.

Yes. It’s a statue of a boy on stilts - apparently making his way through this bog garden. I met the garden’s owner online when we were both posting at a New Zealand garden website with a forums. We hit it off right away. So when we went to England in 2008 to see gardens we arranged to stay a few nights at his bed and breakfast which he ran with his mother. But we’ve lost touch and I don’t find any indication that his wonderful garden even exists anymore. My photos of our stay there are here.

Haven’t grown it but I’ve seen other people’s. You have to admire a proactive plant willing to reach out and snatch the nutrients it needs where the soil doesn’t provide. Did you ever read the Botany of Desire. That was a fun read and a real head trip for checking our animal entitlement. 
I’ve not read it but I believe I’ve seen it in the stores. Perhaps soon I’ll read it.
