Welcome back everyone to the Epic Gardening podcast.

We have Chris back on the show, a horticulturist, a garden consultant and she's also the founder

of Fluent Garden in Vancouver.

So Chris, we talked yesterday about just having multiple purposes for your perennials,

some of those purposes are in a couple examples of how you've used specific plants for different

reasons.

But I think now, you know, like I said early in the first episode, I got Moshwood from

you this year.

I got kind of addicted to these rhizomes or these tuber-style plants and it sounds like

you did too.

So I'd love to dive into a couple of these oddball perennials that you've been getting into.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

Like I went kind of like tuber-crazy last year, I managed to find Oka, oxalus tuberosa or

tuberosome.

I don't remember.

But Oka Yakon, which looks like a sunflower plant, but it has a really delicious underground,

like tuberous root.

And I find people don't maybe don't know about these plants or maybe I don't know what

should actually start the cycle, like more of us talking about it and then people should

start growing them and like cycling them into nurseries, I don't really know.

But I find these plants were really, really well.
