    ok this is the last guy to survive this bucket that used to house other plants..

    due to lack of attention and care this lil place of plants is now down to this guy. Hes been sitting outside since spring '07 through all the bad and cold weather, and even had some snow sitting on him not too long ago.

    Heuchera americana form, possibly Palace Purple, but there are dozens of them now.

    I agree with Heuchera Green_numb, but I'm not too sure about the others.
