(Iowa Crabapple, Prairie Crabapple)
An upright-branching but broad deciduous tree with pink springtime flowers, prairie crabapple is native to the central United States. The leaves are green with fuzzy, whitened undersides and shaped like a reversed tear-drop with small jagged teeth. In spring, before leaves emerge, pale pink buds are found on the twigs, opening to fragrant, white, five-petaled flowers that will be pollinated by honeybees. The fruits that ensue are small and mature to a greasy-skinned, yellow-green. The flesh is sour...
(Manchurian Crabapple)
Extremely cold hardy and floriferous, Manchurian crabapple also yields an abundance of bi-colored fruits that are great for jam. A large, upright deciduous tree native to eastern Russian and northern China, its green leaves are long ovals. In early spring, small clusters of pale pink flower buds appear with the new leaves. The flowers that follow have large white petals, are fragrant, and produce pollen copiously. The fruits mature yellow and pink-red at the size of ping-pong balls. Usually the fruits...

(Hybrid Siberian Crabapple)
The vigorous, large-growing hybrid Siberian crabapple covers itself in mid-spring with pink-tinged white blossom that become cherry-like red or yellow fruits later. This deciduous tree has a tall spreading habit to almost pyramid-like, making it a nice blend of ornamental flowering fruit tree and attractive shade tree. It is a hybrid created with the cross of two east Asian crabapples, Malus baccata and Malus prunifolia.
The slender oval leaves are dark green with teeth on...

(O-zumi, Zumi Crabapple)
This crabapple, Malus zumi, is a widely adapted, large deciduous tree with well-anchored branches that ascend when the tree is young but eventually reach outward, giving the tree a broad spreading shape. In spring it begins bloom with a profusion of deep-red buds that clothe the branches. The flowers are white and fragrant and attract bees. The flowers produce pollen so prolifically that this tree is often planted to pollinate other trees. They are followed by small, glossy red fruits that...
(Hybrid Muskmallow, Sweet Sixteen Muskmallow)
Mallows are traditional cottage garden perennials, and ‘Sweet Sixteen’ is among the best new hybrids due to its compact size. Its exact ancestry is murky at best, but it likely sprang from crosses between the musk mallow and Malva sylvestris, both natives of Europe and the Mediterranean region. Although this plant is perennial, it can be short lived, but does reseed itself generously where conditions are right. This fast growing upright plant produces soft lobed leaves on shorter stems than...

(Muskmallow)
A pretty little cousin of the hollyhock, muskmallow has attractively lobed leaves and dainty light pink flowers from summer to fall. An erect but bushy perennial from Europe and northwestern Africa, it is relatively short-lived but easily seeds itself for continual renewal.
Muskmallow gets its name from the musky scent emitted when its green foliage is brushed or rubbed. The medium to dull dark green leaves are nearly heart-shaped at the plant's base, to a very ornately lobed, antler-like form...

(White Muskmallow)
A pretty little cousin of the hollyhock, white muskmallow has attractively lobed leaves and papery white flowers from summer to fall. An erect but bushy perennial from Europe and northwestern Africa, it is relatively short-lived but easily seeds itself for continual renewal.

(Ostrich Fern)
Ostrich fern is a herbaceous plant native to northern woodlands and wetlands in Europe, East Asia, and North America. In spring its tightly curled "fiddleheads" unfurl to majestic sterile fronds clustered in vase-shaped clumps. It also produces fertile spore-bearing fronds that give the appearance of stunted, desiccated sterile fronds. They remain standing after the fertile fronds decline in fall. Plants spread vigorously by thick underground rhizomes.
To reach its impressive full size, ostrich...
