Wanted- see list
Strobilanthes cusia - is this that
Alyogyne huegelii - I have seen this at a couple nurseries, Accent Trees in Palmetto (just south of 75-275 split) they have a web site. http://local.yahoo.com/results?fr=dd-local-more&stx=accent+tree+nursery&csz=Palmetto%2C+FL I would call them first.
Yes Dale, that is it.
I will probaly be going to the tropiflora sale tomorrow morning. Maybe I will swing by accent nursery and see if the have any since it would be on the way.
Are you going to the tropiflora Spring Festival?
I went to Tropiflora once. I found that their wholesale prices are 2-3 times more than most of the wholesalers I deal with. If I want something that is very rare they are the place. I just can't pay full retail, I am cheap.
I have Strobilanthes cusia, but, my plant tag says Strobilanthes flaccidifolius, you might want to do a image search on that one. It just finished blooming a few weeks ago. I was going to try and propagate it (nice spring flower show on that plant) but it is going to be 3 months before it is ready to plant out. I let mine go to seed (bees loved it) to see if it would reseed itself. If you don't find it soon I can send you some cuttings or trade a rooted plant later in the summer. I have about 60 coleus started this week, so that area is full for now.
Here is Coreopsis tinctoria, I buy these at Accent.-
Well I got everything on my list except for the Vanilla trumpet vine.
Thanks Dale!
