Madder and Bedstraw

I have new plants!

This one is Lady's Bedstraw (a relative of French Madder). It gives clear yellow from its tops and oranges and salmons from its roots!

These are my madder! They give lovely reds and rusty oranges.


Of course, it takes 3 years for all these plants' roots to mature... So, I'll let you know in 2015 how the colors come out.
