This may be the same plant as Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Noemie Demay') per Carsten Burkhardt's Web Project Paeonia.

A fun plant, especially early in the season. Dormant bulbs are easy to store dry or potted and they're very prolific. New leaves show the darkest spots, which fade over time, but bloom stalks appear fairly soon after the plants break dormancy, so it puts on a nice show.

Not to be confused with American Basket-Flower (Plectocephalus americanus) which has C. americana Spreng. as a synonym.
At present this plant's name is unresolved.

A white Lacecap introduced by Lyndale Nurseries Auckland Ltd around 1998. Breeder: Anthony Owens. Not to be confused with Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Trophee') (aka Trophy).

Per the International Plant Names Index regarding the spelling Euphorbia venenifica "Brown (in Fl. Trop. Africa 6(1): 562. 1911) cited the name as "Euphorbia venenifica Tremaux ex Kotschy" (an error)."

N. E. Brown first described and named this plant from a specimen at Kew Gardens in The Gardeners Chronicle (1885). Alocasia ‘Quilted Dreams’ was first described in Aroideana 7 (1984) and Alocasia bullata is Hort., nom. inval.

Per The genus Alocasia (Araceae-Colocasieae) in the Philippines, by Alistair Hay page 33 “…Alocasia sinuata is botanically poorly known,…Two forms exist in cultivation… Quilted Dreams and Alocasia Bullata…”

Originally registered as 'Jean Erickson', A.P.S. Bulletin 313, the name was corrected to 'Jean Ericksen', A.P.S. Bulletin 314, after the hybridizer Mrs. Jean Ericksen.

Often misidentified as Elephant's Ear (Alocasia odora 'Okinawa Silver') Variegation is white with light, medium and dark green.

In a part sun location, which most Astilbe prefer in my climate, CF Lime increases well and provides great color and texture. It's very trouble free, receiving no special attention other than a spring feeding and occasional watering in mid-Summer. The blooms reach up to 3' on topping the foliage mound by over 12".
