This page is a work in progress describing those plants in our garden that I haven't yet been able to identify. Over the course of a couple of years, I've identified many, and they're described on the garden plants page. Follow the links for more photos in each category. If you have information about the plants, I'd be pleased to hear from you. The “mysteries” are gradually being solved, and when they do, their entries get moved to the garden plants page, so there are gaps in the numbering.
