This spectacular selection has flowers that start out butter yellow with deep red centers and red streaking toward the outer tips. Color shifts to ruby red as the weather cools, creating added interest. Outstanding perennial for borders, perennial beds, and containers. 1  Overview.
Idaho giant salamanders share their cold mountain streams with the usual host of invertebrates, such as caddisfly, stonefly and mayfly larvae, and even crayfish, all of which the salamanders eat. They will also eat other stream-dwelling amphibians.
The larvae are only three centimetres long and resemble adults in shape. As larvae they do have gills, and though they lose them quite early in life, they never fully lose all larval characteristics. Both the Chinese and Japanese giant salamanders are long lived, with one specimen in captivity living for 52 years.
