A friend of mine named Lesley recently passed away and I'm hoping to find a plant with her name. Has anyone ever heard of a plant with a cultivar 'Lesley'? If not, can you think of a book or website I could check? I've Googled every word combination I can think of with no luck. Thank you!!

If you don't happen to like the plant, "Lesley's rimmed lichen," you could do what I did when my stepdaughter was killed. If you know or can find out what her favorite flower was, plant one in her honor. I have a beautiful peach colored rose in a very special little garden that I planted in Jennifer's honor. So sorry for the loss of your friend.

I found this iris in PlantFiles. "Lesley My Love" http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/177373/ According the listing, it was introduced or registered this year, so it may be a little difficult to find.

I planted irises, one kind from Iris Sisters, and another from Painted Acres Farms. Both places are listed here on Daves Watchdog page. Both delivered beautiful irises and communicated with me every step of the way. I've never grown irises before but I've always loved them. If you email either of these wonderful sites, they can tell you whether or not they carry the iris named Lesley.

THANK YOU so much to everyone for your suggestions and kind words. I found a miniature rose: 'Leslie'. It's for her sister's garden. She has very limited space so, even with the difference in spelling, I think she'll like it.
