I was fortunate to add a few rare plants to the gardens this year and these two will probably come into play in 2011.

These are both rare Goodenough plants and the wait will be worth it.

That roundness is attractive and the cocloring is interesting. Thanks for showing your new treasures.

I'd be happy to work with a couple of the crinkled one for sure--didn't realize Rick had that many others

Based on what I've seen of Abigail Adams and Brant Rock Jetty seedlings, might be fun to work with any of that vast list. Thanks for the pictures, Jeff.

Jeff if you win the lottery Ill complete my collection as well please Smile

I have 13 on the list and a few seedlings... Rick named Connie Sue's Laurel in memory of my Mum and you may have seen it when you visited his place. He had picked the plant knowing I like WIDE edges but this one is going to be HUGE, upright and WHITE edged. Very Showy in the garden.. Did you pick these 2 up from Rick this summer? they will be fun ones to add to your already great collection.. I havnt seen many of this yet... But Ricks garden has SSOO many great things to see and Admire.... Good Luck with them and cant wait to see the seedlings !!!

Whew - I had no idea there were so many, but if I had to pick just one I think this would be it for me.
