filiformis
(fil-ih-FOR-miss)The descriptor filiformis means 'threadlike'. It is from the Latin filum which means 'thread' and formis which is in botanical Latin, a substantive suffix for nouns derived from 'forma': to be in the form or shape of. Or, 'having a threadlike form'. A popular entry in our PlantFiles database is the Threadleaf Sundew, Drosera filiformis. This carnivorous plant is native to eastern North America and its unusual, sticky thread-like leaves serve as traps, much like the familiar Venus Flytrap.

Late 'Jackmanii'
Clematis One of the most popular garden plants is the clematis. It is a favorite world-wide because it is an easy-care flowering vine that puts on a handsome show. The most popular cultivar in PlantFiles is the universal favorite 'Jackmanii'. It provides a mass of color even in partial shade. 'Jackmanii' blooms on new growth, so trim or prune back to 2' (60cm) in late winter or early spring for the best show. Unlike ivy and Virginia Creeper with their own adhesive root systems, clematis need a strong structure for support and the vine climbs by twining its tendrils around the trellis or structure.This tough garden beauty even tolerates Black Walnut soil and deer find it undesirable. » Read more about this plant  7 vendors have this plant for sale.
