Most wanted - Idea from Mid-South Gardening Forum

Zarcanat... I think I have a couple things for you. I have the fuchsia Automnale but it is asleep for the winter and then I have what I think is a Rat-Tail cactus. It came to me unlabeled so I am not sure of the specie or variety name but from what I have seen in photo it sure looks like one. Are there more than one type?
Just before Christmas we did some remodeling. Each day the drywallers would put my plants outside on the deck and at the end of each day I would bring them back in. Well much to my disappointment several of my Iochroma got left outside and froze. I could have cried but oh well stuff happens. I do still have a couple and will be able to get a rooted cutting going for you on these.
I will take a photo of that rat tail and send you a d-mail:)

Wow, I am so sorry for your Iochromas. I do understand since I had to depart from most of my plant collection due to some critters I couldn't get rid of. Lets keep in touch for next spring ;-))

zarcanat, I'll get your stuff added to the top of the list soon with all of the others. Right now I'm just in the middle of waiting for my winter sowing containers to soak up some water so I can finish adding seeds and setting them outside. Should be sometime tomorrow I get that done for you.

bigcityal, you guys have got to quit teasing me with U.S. companies that don't ship outside the continental U.S. - it's not fair that you can get Green Envy and I can't (yet) :-)

zarcanat, I have added your wish list to the top post - earlier than I had thought or hoped I would be able to after all.

And not that anybody mentioned it lately, but last spring there were a few of us looking for Pulmonaria Raspberry Splash, and if you didn't find it yet, they have it also. 12.95

This is not one of my favourite places to order, but other people seem to like this place.

Yippee and hallelujah!!!!! I am absolutely ecstatic! I found the coveted Echinacea 'Green Envy' at Canning Perennials web site. I ordered three (gulp - $17.95 each for 3 or more). I couldn't help myself :-)

Ginny,
Although I find Canning Perennials a bit expensive, that's a lot less than I thought we'd see Green Envy for! There's another picture that's surfaced on a Google Image search (it's on UK gardenweb). It's far more subdued than the splashy green of the other pics. I kind of like it though. More subtle. Glad you found it!

Oh, thanks to echoes, I found Heuchera 'Cinnebar Silver' at Floral & Hardy and have it on order.

I went and looked up that new picture Sandy. I like it too. It will be interesting to see just exactly what I do end up getting when they flower.

I added your "found" status to the list at the top too. If anyone else out there has found and purchased/ordered anything from their list please let me know. That way I can keep it updated so people are only on the lookout still for the ones not yet found. Thanks!

Thanks, Ginny.

Not sure who wanted Tropaeolum tuberosum but Ursla from Chille has some seeds you can order. She will be placing a list in Classified in the next few days. In fact she has several types.
Hope that helps someone.
