40182 DALECHAMPIA ROEZLIANA EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 9.50 "Bow Tie Vine" Remarkable Mexican spurge supporting wide crinkled leaves and paper-like rose pink bracts like bowties cupping the central succulent yellow spurge flowers--like floating bright lavender butterflies. Lovely scrambling vine best trained on a small trellis.

65095 DASYLIRION LONGISSIMUM AGAVE HP TGH PRICE: $ 14.50 Distinctive desert plant from Mexico. Often called "Mexican Grass Tree." Eastern Mexico (Coahuila, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi. Dasylirion form a genus of 18 varieties native to the desert areas of southern USA and Mexico. Dasylirion usually form a single short trunk topped by an almost spherical head of leaves. Mature plants produce huge flower stock covered in flowers similar to yucca. Can easily be grown for many years as a pot plant, like a pony tail plant.

65096 DASYLIRION WHEELERII AGAVE HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.50 Distinctive desert plant from Mexico. Similar to the previous species but which more a bit more green leaves and slightly more spines. Is easy to grow with little maintenance; like the previous plant, it can be grown with plant care like the Beaucarnea, the pony tail plant.
Often considered hardy, northern climes can have some problems. We list these in both the hardy and tropical lists with this disclaimer.

55614 DATURA INOXA VARIEGATA [MISSOURI MARBLE] SOL TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 Available now for summer shipping. The remarkable "Variegated Evening Trumpet" While famous as Scopolamine's source, this fabulous creature merits a prime conservatory spot for pink tinted white margined leaves; violet horizontal stems; big fragrant white upright trumpet flowers.

42265 DATURA METEL CORNUCOPAEA SOL CGH SSA PRICE: $ 4.00 Large purple speckled cream trumpets held semi-erect thereby revealing the three-tiered fragrant layers: "Double Purple Horn of Plenty" famous as source of Scopolamine. Sometimes listed as D. arborea 'Double Black.' We have this only on a most irregular seasonal basis--check with us to see if seedlings are available. Always creates a sensation here when it starts blooming late summer.

10317 DAVALLIA PYXIDATA POLYP TGH PRICE: $ 42.00 "Australian Davallia." Order in 2010. Reddish rhizomes grow upward into the air, branching from their bases (very bizarre); flattened spray of many tiny leathery pinnae--a very dark and waxy plane of intricate foliage unique to this footed fern. A collector's favorite for the unique habit--eventualy a major specimen requiring considerable space. Prefers a moss topped orchid mix in a shallow container. Sometimes the demand for this is significant: but we now maintain two large stock plants and should be able to send good divisions throughout the season.

10321 DAVALLIA TRICHOMANOIDES POLYP HP PRICE: $ 7.50 The Standard brown rabbit foot fern. Sometimes called Squirrel Foot. We have plan ts with feet creeping over the ground. Foliage is fine and light to medium green. See Thumbnails.

10484 DAVALLIA (HUMATA) TYERMANII POLYP HP PRICE: $ 6.25 "White Rabbit Foot." The arched, vigorous foot is pure white and very furry. The fronds are lacy and deep, rich green. "Humata" is the true name, but we double referenced it because it looks so much like a Davallia and sometimes appears as such in the wholesale trade. Excellent as a pot plant, outstanding in a hanging basket for a houseplant as survives less than ideal levels of humidity.
Often considered hardy, northern climes can have some problems. We list these in both the hardy and tropical lists with this disclaimer.

88693 DENDRANTHEMA HATSU HIKARI [HYB] COMP HT HH PRICE: $ 7.25 This "Golden Cascade Mum" has the woody stem and petite very fingered foliage so admired by Japanese bonsai masters; even if not trained, will produce late fall masses of chrome yellow blossoms--each a ruff surrounding a central tufted honeycomb which can persist into December.

83113 DENDRANTHEMA HILLSIDE PINK COMP HH CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 Also, very hardy in our climate. Excellently densely foliaged "Sheffield Mum" with beguiling single soft pink single fls during most of the fall. Very winter hardy and pest free in our climate.

88982 DENDRANTHEMUM AOI COMP HH CGH PRICE: $ 6.00 Upright "Ise Mum" type with woody upright stem best staked; topped with remarkable orchid pink (fading to lavender) spidery eyelash blossom with a startling eyllow eye nestled at the center; ferny foliage. A "Lavender Spider" for the late fall, early winter display.

61701 DENDRANTHEMUM [CHRYSANTHEMUM] FIRECHIEF [HYB]COMP HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Shamelessly dramatic "Cascade Mum" for brilliant late Fall displays with much terminal branching to present the cluster of scarlet red flowers, each with a showy bronzy yellow center. Very vigorous--loved by topiary and bonsai fanciers. While winter hardy outdoors here, the very late blooming date deems this a potplant in most midwest and northern climes and thus an excellent candidate for the hobby greenhouse.

40189 DIANELLA CAERULEA VARIEGATA LIL HP CGH PRICE: $18.00 "Blue Flax Lily" Elegant fans of thin leathery lance leaves brilliantly striped gold; clear blue flowerss followed by berries of birdsegg blue; this New South Wales "Paroo Lily" performs well as a houseplant; though cats will attempt to consume it. Most successfully grown like "New Zealand Flax" with bright cool (not freezing) winters; as well as most dramatically displayed as a specimen pot plant with them; currently enjoying much popularity as a dramatic upright accent in larger patio continer designs. We have enough stock currently to keep up with demand.

41480 DIANELLA SPECIES WHITE STRIPE LIL HP TGH PRICE: $18.00 Unidentified stoloniferous species with erect arched leaves striped and margined with brilliant white. Slim wands hold nodding lilac blossoms. Striking specimen for full light. Does not closely clump like D. caerulea (perhaps D. tasmanica?). Does well as an indoor house plant.

58452 DIANTHERA NODOSA BRAZIL SOL TGH CGH HP PRICE: $ 15.00 This is a new introduction in the Brazilian Plume Group. It is alternatively called Justicia or more correctly Dianthera. It seems to bloom all the time. Please email us if you might be interested. Email Us if You Like This Plant

82002 DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS KING OF THE BLACKS CAR HH CGH HT PRICE: $ 4.25 "Trailing Clove Carnation" fragrant purple blackish red blossoms over compactly statured gray foliage cascading in time from your baskets of windowboxes. Strong performer in the sunny winter greenhouse.

43140 DICHONDRA ARGENTEA SILVER FALLS CONV CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.00 Excellent trailing cascading vine with slim stems covered with small hoof (Ginkgo?) shaped shimmery silver leaves; also useful outdoors, as is perfect as a quick (but tropical) prostrate groundcover in rockeries, or between stepping stones. A fabulous silver accent for any red or purple foliaged plant; an excellent foil for blooming cascading plants in summer hanging baskets; also very successful in window boxes and urns.And when you find a blossom you will realize that you are growing a relative of the Morningglories!

51921 DICHORISANDRA PENDULA COMM TGH PRICE: $15.00 This is definitely a "Propagate to Order" plant. It is slow to root and we often take the cutting when the order comes in to us. Be prepared to wait, possibly, if you order this. Tall bamboo mimic stalks from which arch pagodesque stems cloaked with glossy deep green, slightly patterned waxy leaves and beautiful delicate clusters of blue shading to violet spiderwort blossoms held on arching outthrust stems, thus the "Blue Pendant Ginger" although only the flowering side branchlets are actually pendant This very chill sensitive Spiderwort may become a big hit with the hobby greenhouse croud always looking for a new "wow" plant with which to amaze their friends.

50517 DICHORISANDRA THRYSIFLORA VARIEGATA COMM HP PRICE: $ 4.25 "Blue Ginger" Heads of dark electric-blue flowers top tall, jointed stems with glossy heavy leaves faintly banded silver & toned purplish-blue beneath. Brazilian native of easy culture. This and its name arrived here from Longwood Gardens many years ago. The amount of coloration on the foliage depends strongly on level of fertilization, ambient temperatures, and juvenile versus mature canes.

69020 DICHROA FEBRIFUGA SAX HH CGH PRICE: $ 17.00 Curious Himalayan "Tropical Hydrangea" with attractively serrated evergreen leaves paired on downy shoots; clusters of blue flowers, tanish white beneath. A Longwood Gardens distribution.

11620 DICKSONIA ANTARTICA DIC CGH $10.00 The majestic "Tasmanian Treefern" needs cool (subtropic) very humid conditions to form its canopy of impressive outreaching deep green heavily textured fronds, with their network of straw toned veins, crowning the fibrous, wooly trunk. Avoid excessive heat during the winter.

50014 DICLIPTERA [JACOBINIA] SUBERECTA ACAN CGH HP PRICE: $ 3.75 Cupped oval gray leaves, richly velvety haired surfaces giving a silvery tone, on low arching stems; showy brick-red two lipped rust orange designed blossoms in "King's Crown" heads appear during winter. From Uruguay (and thus tolerant of considerable chill), where this is known as the "Hummingbird Plant," this undemanding carpeting or cascading "shrimp" cousin (while traditionally a greenhouse basket or groundcover subject) has recently become popular as an undemanding attractive summer urn and windowbox item adding a soft velvety tone to any combination.

43070 DIEFFENBACHIA ANNE [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 22.00 Central cream veins accent the creamy ocher leaf with its occasional forest green blotches; darker shading at margins dramatically accented by a showy ivory rim. One could call this dwarf statured "Margined Dumbcane" more variegated than patterned. Petite enough to include in a large wardian case design.

30202 DIEFFENBACHIA MACULATA BARRAQUINIANA ARAC HP PRICE: $4.00 Pointed leaf has bold white midrib and almost randomly scattered creamy dots; the leaf stalks (as well as the striated trunks) are ivory white and thus quite popular in Asia as considered to denote "bringer of good luck." Perhaps identical to 'Sao Antonia' in the Philippine trade. For the collector of seldom available "Dumbcane" species.

30210 DIEFFENBACHIA MACULATA RUDOLF ROEHRS ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Golden Dumbcane". This old favorite has beautiful chartreuse leaves accented by green midribs and borders--be sure to avoid any chill. Antique one we actually originally purchased at the famous Roehrs greenhouses in Rutherford New Jersey back in historical times!

41846 DIETES VEGETA [MORAEA IRIDOIDES] IRI CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.00 Beautiful & strong growing "African Iris"; Two foot fans with white fls marked yellow, style crests blue patterned. Strong short rhizomes (thus Dietes, as Moraeas are cormus in the current state of taxonomy for this confused batch of Irids--the plants are not confused, only the taxonomists)--the rhizomes hold the decorative strong evergreen leaf fans. Give full sun and stand back.

40192 DIOSCOREA MACROSTACHYA (MEXICANA ) DIO HP TGH $ 28.50 LIMITED AVAILABILITY This is the famous Mexican Turtle Back Plant. It will be available for shipping in the early spring of 2010. You might want to order at this time for spirng delivery. It is now called "Dioscorea mexicana" rather than "Dioscorea macrostachya." Either name seems to be used with equal regularity. Annual vines spring out of the flat woody turtle back caudex. If kept warm, the vines tend to remain, just not grow actively during the winter. Good for a south window.

40193 DIOSCOREA DISCOLOR MULTICOLOR DIO HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 THIS IS A VERY SEASONAL PLANT. IF YOU ORDER, YOUR ORDER MAY BE DELAYED FOR AVAILABILITY A horticultural form with wider leaves than the species with richer deeper colors and dramatic bands on the quilted lobed foliage--each violet backed leaf marbled in platinum and nilegreen with red veins. Winter domant just like the species, re-sprouting from a "weird potato like" tuber late spring (This is a true yam cousin, not a member of the Ipomea sweet potato clan.): do not remove this bizarre tuber from the soil during the dormant period. While challenging, always an amazing plant for total eye candy. The dormancy cycles can be complex--thus, we emphatically do not recommend this for beginners and cannot replace a tuber once it enters into a dormant period.

60044 DISCHIDIA ALBIDA [HORT] ASC HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.50 "Propeller Vine" Propeller-shaped pairs of attractive gray- green leaves on soft swollen pendant (or climbing if it can find something to twine around) stems make this a great basket subject. Bizarre little clusters of urn shaped blimp blossoms sometimes appear at leaf nodes. A more perfect well behaved vine cannot be imagined for the designer of wire topiaries.

60047 DISCHIDIA FORMOSANA MAXIUM [FORMOSA #1] ASC PRICE: $ 5.00 Little rounded fleshy leaves; pouchy cream blooms.

61024 DISCHIDIA RUSCIFOLIA ASC TGH $ 8.25 Slim stems stiftly arch out under the weight of precisely ranked small fleshy trapizoidal leaves. Very cute; much admired by those who collect the smaller statured Hoyas. As with all Dischidias, this needs a perfectly drained epiphytic mix in order to thrive, soon forming an arching carpet of deep green cookie cutter foliage. This is sent as unrooted cuttings (they root very easily).

59179 DISCHIDIA SPECIES # 77111 [WAKEFIELD] ASC TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.75 Attractive vine with opposite succulent leaves; odd blimp blossoms like tiny urns crouded into tight clusters. This is a great performer on wire topiary with its cute fleshy propeller leaf pairs like fleshy ears on the soft succulent (and very pliable) stems.

54561 DOMBEYA WALLICHII BYT CGH HP PRICE: $ 8.50 Stout stalks with impressive foliage present the remarkably showy balls of crowded rich pink flowers emitting a rich honey fragrance. Needs light and room. Always good to observe that an old favorite is so totally back in style--especially with our many Florida and Texas collector customers.

40198 DORITIS PUCHERRIMA ORC HP PRICE: $ 22.00 "Amethyst Orchid" (formerly Phalaenopsis pucherrima) From purplish wide leathery strap leaves arch slender stems bearing completely charming amethyst blossoms much more 3-D than "Moth Orchid" hybrids. .This plant will cluster well and grows nicely as a standard house plant. Flowers are smaller and more complex than those of the standard Phalaenopsis. Best grown in a barky orchid mix. Always popular with our succulent collectors as this elegant Orchid tolerates lower humidity levels and higher light levels than its "Moth Orchid" cousins.

A group of Dorstenias, including the very odd Dorstenia gigas from Socotra

41748 DORSTENIA CARNULOSA MOR HP TERR PRICE: $ 5.00 Marvelous caudiform species with bowling pin trunk studded with small thick leaves and cute "open-handed" hypanthodiums. Prefers warmth, thus ideal for growing under lights.

40202 DORSTENIA CONTRAJERVA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Tortus Herb" Haired 8" silvery-patterned leaves deeply elaborately lobed arch out from succulent segmented stems; rayed receptacles (hypanthodiums) resemble crazed sea coral. Odd one with much slower growth rate and less fertile than the following easily grown form.

40203 DORSTENIA CONTRAJERVA AMPLIFOLIA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Wart Flower" Wider, shallower hypanthodium lobing than the species form (see previous entry) with the typical leaf also less lobed; the thick tuberculed succulent stem is unsegmented. Easy culture. Probably the species known as "Drake's Foot" used as a cure for snakebite in Central & South America, thus also known as "Tortus Herb." Dramatic in a large terrarium, yet quite easily grown on any windowsill--if it (for mysterious reasons) remains unwatered for some extended period of time and drops its leaves, just begin watering again and a new set will soon appear as the pseudo-caudex trunk retains life for a good stretch of time (and remember to keep the dried leaves for your snakebite medical kit). Can you afford not to have this houseplant?

40204 DORSTENIA CRISPA [SELECTION] MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Available from time to time. Inquire. "Gout Plant" Succulent caudiform trunk; crimped leaves; pale hypanthodium

60842 DORSTENIA FOETIDA MOR HP PRICE: $ 10.00 Rather curious small caudiform in the fig family. This Dorstenia has the typical shield flower and slightly fuzzy leaves. Great for a bonsai pot.

41802 DORSTENIA GIGAS MOR HP PRICE: $ 35.00 Very curious plant from Socotra. This plant is bumpy caudexed with bubble textured leaves. It has everything for the collection of odd and usual and caudiciform plants. We have a limited number of these available now. Best to inquire. Everyone who sees this plant in our collection wants to take it away.

40207 DORSTENIA RADIATA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Similar to upright purple blushed succulent stalked mannii, but leaves darker & hypanthodium producing a great number of shorter rays; perfect in any child's collection as the necessary "Hand Plant" demanding only high light to succeed.

40209 DORSTENIA TURNERAEFOLIA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Shiny deep green elm-shaped leaves and ray-less round purple receptacles on glossy maroon tubercular stems; low light prefered to keep rich dark sheened foliage color. Perhaps same as Dorstenia bahiensis (Sucre), even though the sap is a remarkable orange! Excellent house plant.

41732 DRACAENA DEREMENSIS SHOGUN GOLD AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 22.00 The "Golden Pineapple Top" is a sport of 'Janet Craig Compacta' with new leaves emerging golden ochre. Very rare--we faithfully maintain this treasure originally received from the Singapore Botanic Gardens for it seems to have vanished from the trade. Please be advised that the lime gold will not be very apparent if this cultivar is grown in low light.

40212 DRACENA DEREMENSIS LONGII 'SKUNKY' AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 30.00 Black-green glossy strap leaves with bold pure white central band. Very very dramatic. Prized by Asian collectors.

40220 DRACENA FRAGRANS VICTORIAE AGA TGH PRICE: $ 45.00 Wide leathery leaves heavily striped with cream and butter yellow; rare cultivar. This low price reflects small starter (rooted) plants of this most fussy "Massange's Corn Plant". Avoid any chill.

40231 DRACAENA SURCULOSA PUNCTULATA AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Rarely seen form with variegations of honey-ochre; dappled blond areas overlap in elegant patterns; easy to bloom indoors for an overpowering airplane glue "fragrance"! A survivor of indirect light and low humidity.

40223 DRACAENA REFLEXA GRACILIS AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.25 Formerly Pleomele reflexa. Short attractive waxy leathery dark strap leaves in tightly overlapped worls to cover slender upright strong stems. This attractive deep green houseplant will grow where all else fails.

40224 DRACAENA REFLEXA SONG OF INDIA AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Ribbed trunks support thick swirls of short dark strap leaves margined in wide ivory bands. Formerly listed in reference books as Pleomele reflexa variegata or 'Song of India.' Few house plants this highly variegated flourish in normal dry indoor conditions as well as this one.

40225DRACAENA REFLEXA SONG OF JAMAICA AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Swirled strap leaves with central yellow stripes; readily tolerates low light conditions. Waxy foliage withstands lack of humidity indoors where other plants fail.

40232 DRACAENA THALIOIDES AGAV HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.75 Stiff fans of crepe mimic leaves; this Pleomele thalioides famous for surviving very low light conditions. The terminal spikes of highly scented flowers may be fragrant to some, but reminescent of airplane glue to others. Not the most stunning showpiece, but a handsome survivor with attractive leathery foliage.

20082 DRYMONIA SERRULATA [SPECTABILIS] GES TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Clambering stems bear pairs of attractive bronzy leaves with violet-red blushed underleaf; large bell-slipper flowers of soft pearly lemon tones. Unique species used as a snakebite antidote among South American Indian tribes. Usually sent as generous URCuttings in moist sphagnum.

10401 DRYNARIA QUERCIFOLIA POLYP HP TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 Fertile fronds are impressively broad and very deeply cut; the large papery oak leaf-shaped sterile fronds emerge during the winter cycle. Forms a magnificent conversation piece in time, expecially if mounted on a treefern plaque or grown in a wire mesh hanging basket.

41880 DURANTA ERECTA [SPECIOSA] AUREO-MEDIA VER HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.25 Unusual "Lemon Drop" clone of "Skyflower" with each small leaf center splashed golden ochre. Freely produced white blossoms. Excellent twiggy small foliaged subject for small statured tropical bonsai as can be easily trained in lateral directions, yet beautiful also as a windowsill plant or in a patio container.

57500 DURANTA ERECTA GOLD MOUND VER HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 Low arching stems lined with lovely small solid golden leaves (pale lime in low light) forming the perfect golden gilded bonsai. Lovely as a windowsill plant expecially when producing its delicate wands of white flowers; a popular new outdoor shub in the warmer edge of the subtropics.

41254 DURANTA REPENS [ERECTA?] VARIEGATA VER CGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 "Variegated Skyflower" Serrated glossy small leaves splashed white--when grown in full sun the foliage may emerge ivory white, gradually fading with maturity. China blue flowers, if pollinated, are followed by bright "Pigeon Berry" fruit. The distinctive variegation (which is a speckling, not a solid margin) may disappear in constantly warmer climates. Nonetheless, the small leaves and twiggy nature of this clone combine to maintain it the favorite of tropical bonsai enthusiasts.

57476 DURANTA PLUMIERII GOLDEN EDGE VER HP CGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Superbly flashy. Limber stems present showy buttery gold leaves, with central gray green flame, & terminate with purple elongated flower clusters, then gold berries. Excellent new Japanese selection of this Caribbean species which is much larger in stature than the Duranta erecta cultivars..

41585 DURANTA PLUMIERII [REPENS] VARIEGATA VER HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Ivory Margined Skyflower" Vining shrubs with woody out arching stems ranked with beautiful glossy toothed leaves with very wide creamy-white margins. The blue (fading to lilac) flower clusters are followed by yellow "Pigeon Berry" fruit. Caribe native. Foliage larger and flashier than the repens/erecta complex--although the nomenclature exists in a perpetual fog currently.

42142 DURANTA SPECIES DWARF VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.00 Hansoti #26; possibly an extreme dwarf clone of D. repens (although Botanists now suggest that all are species erecta--bit of a contrast?), yet the sprays of delicate flowers are of rich lilac, not blue. Outstanding dependable pot plant from india currently gaining much popular favor with prunner armed bonsai fanciers. Most successful as a windowsill houseplant.

The Succulent Bromeliads, the Dyckias, adapt well to Many Home Conditions!

53396 DYCKIA BURGUNDY ICE BRO HP CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Brand New in 2010. This plant has the darkest and most cranberry colored overtones of any of the Dyckias we offer. We are pleased to introduce this during the summer 2010 season. Like the other Dyckias below, makes a great indoor or windowsill subject. Take advantage of the low price for this spectcular new plant. Right now we have a good numer of these available at this great price.

52099 DYCKIA CARLSBAD BRO HP CGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Thick-leaved hybrid smaller than D. platyphylla parent; first forms an elegant very succulent rosette, then offsets to form an interlaced (spiny leaved monster) mound. Our price reflects our unwillingness to tackle the daunting creature! But remains an excellent impressive Agave mimic in any succulent collection, a great undemanding performer on any bright windowsill.

61022 DYCKIA DAWSONII NARROW CLONE BRO TGH HP PRICE: $ 22.00 Very ornate impressively armed rosettes of slim skeletal leathery leaves closely packed forming a hemisphere in time (separating offsets can lead to permanent scars); pink flowers scattered on elegant wands. Highly recommended for any serious sado-masochistic plant collection. Petite pink flowers lining the tall wands arising above the rosette are quite attractive. Highly recommended for any serious sado-masochistic plant collection.

52104 DYCKIA VELASCANA BRO HP CGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Narrow recurved triangular leaves form dense succulent stiff rosettes. Very decidedly unfriendly "False Agave" especially if attacked by your furry pets ( this toothed plant will hook up and follow); but a handsome very long term specimen for that underachieving urn. The price basically reflects our unwillingness to tackle any attempts at division--as propagation of this Bromeliad almost always involves some shedding of human blood.

66973 EICHHORNIA SPECIES MINIATURE PON TGH PRICE: $ 6.75 A marvelous "Dwarf Water Hyacinth" from Crystal Palace Perennials; does well indoors during the winter (with very bright light or grolites) until you can release it late spring into your outdoor pool or aquatic tub where it forms a dome of swollen blatter foliage and cute erect flower spikes quaintly resembling hyacinths. Far easier and definitely more visually attractive than the usual species form clogging the Everglades.

41029 ELATOSTEMA SESSILE WEEPING LADY URT HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Weeping Pilea" Slightly quilted toothed leaves of deep shiny green clusters on arched "weeping" fleshy succulent stems; this selection darker and more compact than species type. Adds height in a Wardian Case design.

40234 ELAEAGNUS PUNGENS MACULATA ELEADOR ELA HH CGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Frosted slate green leaves with bold yellow centers; variegated cultivar of the "Arbutus Shrub" hardy in the south, but best as "Golden Silverthorn" foliage plant for a cool location inside in the north were it still forms "Gumi-flower Red Berry."

40237 ELEOCHARIS RADICANS DWARF CYP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Nut Grass" Rich green 1" to 2" tufts of glossy spikes tipped with tiny decorative seedheads; much used as a carpeting base for bonsai. Great tufted "Toe Tickler Grass" (tho actually in the spikerush clan) most popular for multiple uses, even for bright terrariums. Never allow to dry out, for the result will certainly be terminal dormancy.

53021 ELETTARIA [AMOMUM] CARDAMOMUM DWARF ZIN HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Dwarf Cardamom Ginger" Small version of this spice--attractive, easily grown houseplant with wonderfully fragrant foliage quickly clumping in a windowsill pot. A tonic and expectorant, also ingested to aid digestion; belived by some to detoxify caffeine. We most emphatically do not stand by any of these claims!

40650 ENSETE MAURELII MUS TGH CGH PRICE: $ 28.00 "Abyssinian Black Banana" While having the thick heavy substance of M. ventricosa, the blackish red leaves flaunt mahogany midribs and margins; purple-carmine underleaf is revealed as leaf unfurls; red-bracted inflorescenceorescence. This is the astounding giant we keep at the patio-pond area here every summer. Come fall the foliage is removed and the tub is carted off into the unheated (but never freezing) porch for the winter where it always unfurls several dramatic bronze leaves for tropical drama while the snow falls outside. If you watch PBS's series on Africa, note stands of this banana around the Eritrean villages where the natives use every part of this plant in their economy. In our experience, this never offsets--the most ordered ornamental form currently as its photo seems to (quite deservedly) crop up in magazines everywhere. Certainly the most easily grown of all the tribe as a container plant--but be sure not to pot in a deep container as the roots grow more outward than directly down.

40241 EPIDENDRUM RADICANS [IBAGUENSE] RED ORC HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 LIMITED AVAILABILITY "Reed Orchid" Ranks of fleshy leaves with terminal clusters of bright damask-red orchid blossoms with long fringed snoots; Bright light imperative for good flowering.

41690 EPIDENDRUM RADICANS SEIDEL ORC TGH HP PRICE: $ 12.00 "Orange Reed Orchid" Clone from Seidel Orchids with ver regular rounded inflorescenceorescence of bright orange blossoms. Easy.

30233 EPIPREMNUM FALCIFOLIUM AUREUM ARAC HP TG PRICE: $ 6.00 "Golden Pothos" Beautiful scandent vine with closely ranked golden lance leaves; this quite rare cultivar of the vigorous indonesian species creates a spectacular hanging basket curtain of bright lemon gold, but equally beautiful in dishgardens and as a ground cover for taller, more leggy houseplants. Rarely offered, easily grown, always stunning. Recently Martha Stewart suggested adding this to summertime hanging baskets and mixed foliage urns: we tried it and: as usual, she is absolutely on track as all performed beautifully.

30229 EPIPREMNUM [SCINDAPSIS] AUREUM ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 "Golden Pothos" Yellow splashed waxy leaved "Devil's Ivy" is sitll unrivaled as dish garden and hanging basket survivor.

30230 EPIPREMNUM [SCINDAPSIS] AUREUM MARBLE QUEEN ARAC PRICE: $ 5.00 "Marble Queen Pothos" Ivory and green leaves: a basic. Also "Devil's Ivy" or "Hunter's Robe" and "Ceylon Ivy Creeper" although form the Solomon Islands. Survives low light and low humidity.

30230 EPIPREMNUM [SCINDAPSIS] AUREUM VARIEGATUM (NJOY) ARAC PRICE: $ 12.75 "NJoy Pothos" Ivory striped and green leaves, sometimes edjed green. Also "Devil's Ivy" or "Hunter's Robe" and "Ceylon Ivy Creeper" although form the Solomon Islands. Survives low light and low humidity. This is an interesting new form.

Shipped during June through October only.

The Flame Violets below are the one we expect to have available this during the next season. We do not do well with Episcea in the winter. When the warmer weather, things always change.

We have the following for shipment in the next month or two.

40246 EQUISETUM DIFFUSUM EQU HP CGH AQ PRICE: $12.00 "Tropical Horsetail" Soft gray green central stems form a tiny bamboo-like thicket: each central stem, with delicately nodding tip, is ringed with skirts of lateral stemlets to create intricate patterns; marvelous pot plant. Will survive some winters in our zone if the ground barely freezes, but best grown as a cool greenhouse subject. Quite popular as a citizen of Wardian Cases.

40248 EQUISETUM SCRIPIOIDES CONTORTA EQU HP HH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Dwarf Scouring Rush" Tangled low mat of very dwarf twisted bright green wiry stalks; needs semi-aquatic conditions. Odd form small enough for terrariums; darling in troughs.

42345 ERYTHRINA INDICA PICTA CRU HH HT CGH PRICE: $30.00 In stock for the Spring 2010 SEASON. Just a few of this wonderful Legume Family plant available at this time. One of the choicest of the greenhouse or sunroom plants. The plant likes warmth, so be sure to have a bright sunny place for this.

51287 EUCHARIS CHRISTINE AMARYL HP PRICE: $ 10.00 The excellent extremely fragrant "Compact Amazon Lily" with slimmer tighter foliage than the species grandiflora, yet relatively large waxy white daffodil shaped flowers are produced in considerable numbers once the offsetting bulbs reach a mature size thanks to your providing a warm richly fertilized mix with bight light; good for conditions too warm for its Amaryllis/Hippeastrum cousins--thus a perfect sunny window houseplant easily bloomed.

51040 EUCHARIS GRANDIFLORA [AMAZONICA] AMARY HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Amazon Lily" Highly scented white waxy blossoms shaped like nodding daffodils held above glossy deep green leaves; ideal houseplant for a room too warm for its amaryllis cousins to thrive.

40251EUCOMIS AUTUMNALIS [UNDULATA] LIL CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Pineapple Lily" Glossy strap-leaf rosettes frame odd spikes of green flowers, all topped by a "coma" of tufted leafy bracts; has proven relatively hardy outdoors here in Z6b with sufficient mulch and perfect drainage--but leaving these in winter soil in Z6 or colder is certiainly not advised. Now more correctly in the family Hyacinthaceae

83241 EUCOMIS COMOSA PINK BLOSSOMS LIL CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 This selection of "Pineapple Lily" has stout stalks of distinctly pink toned flowers on the thick stems topped with the "Carmen Miranda" leafy bracted topknot. This winter dormant genus now more correctly in Hyacinthaceae. We selected this color clone from plants grown from seed received from the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in the early 80s.

65640 EUCOMIS COMOSA SPARKLING BURGUNDY [OAKHURST] LIL HH CGH PRICE: $ 10.00 The lovely "Purple Pineapple Lily" with somewhat succulent burgundy foliage forming a wide succulent rosette from which arise the distinctive greenish white flowers closely packed on a long succulent spike lasting months (typically topped with a bizarre topknot of leaflets, thus resembling a pineapple); remember that this needs a slight winter dormancy even if grown in a greenhouse pot. Hardy outdoors here (usually) if planted deeply and mulched thickly; more reliably hardy in the deep south.

65676 EUCOMIS POLE-EVANSII LIL CGH PRICE: $ 25.00 "Giant Green Pineapple Lily" From a whorl of wide crisped undulate strap leaves reaching 2' at maturity emerges an (eventually) 3 to 5' stalk densely covered with greenish white flowers, topped with a crown "coma" of oblong crisped bracts. Major. You will need considerable space as this matures over the years. We usually need to remove the large succulent-floppy leaves before packing.

65094 EUCHOMIS VANDERMERWEI LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 22.00 Dwarf bulb with highly ornate fleshy short leaves, with fluted margins and maroon spotted; cute tubby "Pinapple" infloresence only 6" tall. Collector's dream with the cute common name of 'Octopus'; needs full sun to thrive. This petite creature, now more correctly considered a member of the family Hyacinthaceae, does need a long dormancy cycle.

51246 EUCROSIA BICOLOR AMARYL TGH PRICE: $ 7.25 Xerophytic Ecuadorian with attractive Phaedranassa-like leaves; dusky bronze-red flowerss in elaborate shapes are clustered on erect slim stems--but we find it an unreliable bloomer. The dormancy cycle seems rather unpredictable! Nonetheless, quite attractive when it tires of dormancy.

67423 EUPHORBIA COTINIFOLIA ATROPURPUREA EUP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Hierba Mala" or "Tropical Purple Smoketree" Elegant branching stems of purple with whorls of thin ovate leaves of wine red fading to metallic magenta with red veins; whitish inflorescence more odd than decorative. Excellent large accent plant, newly popular in large summer urn designs; Remember that (as with various spurge saps) this is a traditional Caribbean fish stunning poison--do not locate near your school of koi.

67035 EUPHORBIA FLAMELEAF (SPECIES) EUP TGH HP PRICE: $ 2.50 "Flameleaf Spurge" Multitudes of slender stems flutter with rounded diamond-shaped leaves of dusky violet fading to emerald green edges. While of delicate appearance, actually a very easy-to-grow houseplant, marvelous under lights. Amazon native. Absolutely excellent when added to outdoor summer urns, windowboxes and even to Hosta beds as the dusky purple small featured foliage makes any companion plant more special--especially successful when paired with Euphorbia 'Diamond Dust'.

67759 EUPHORBIA FULGENS [JAQUINIFLORA] EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.25 Mexican "Scarlet Plume" with slender stems arching under the slim attractive foliage and scarlet orange pseudo-petaled blossoms which last for months--the winter red bracts cluster in the leaf axils for a charming look. Remember this old Victorian favorite must have full sun to mature and no stray lite in the fall (like its kissin cousin, the Poinsettia) or it will fail to set buds for the charming winter display. Once again the old is new as many of you have told us that they have been searching for the "Scarlet Plume" for years. As demand can be unpredictable, please inquire as to availability before ordering.

66796 EUPHORBIA HETEROPHYLLA YOKOI'S WHITE EUP TGH $ 10.00 Petite, tidy poinsettia shaped leaves are richly margined with cream; annual rose blushed soft red bracts form late summer, persisting intensely into fall. From Dr. Masato Yokoi's find in Okinawa in 1989--you will need to re-root this regularly to avoid and prevent its natural urge to be an annual! Excellent as outdoor summer 'annual' or a perennial for winter greenhouse blooms. Now that you are armed with these cultural tricks, can you really resist such a beauty? This is typically available seasonally, so please check as to the next crop date before ordering if you need this by a particular date.

58413 EURYOPS SONNENSCHEIN LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 An excellent German re-engineering of the African "Butter Daisy" forming a wide very regular dome of deeply cut lacy foliage topped by endless outreaching butter yellow daisy blossoms; also poplular as a staked standard; more likely will achieve 20" in your summertime pots. But do not overlook its key potential: a splendid standard or potplant in your winter hobby greenhouse in full golden bloom during a winter snowstorm--what cheer!

40252 EVOlVULUS BOSCANA [PILOSUS / NUTTALLIANUS?] CON HP CGH PRICE: $5.00 "Blue Haze" Lovely morning glory fls on low bush of softly- haired leaves; good in annual beds, but best in a window or for lightgardening as height of bloom is during winter. Now commonly seen as a garden plant in the Keys.

40257 EXCOECARIA COCHINCHINENSIS EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Chinese Croton" Pairs of beautiful shiny leaves deep green on top, a brilliant laquered red beneath elegantly presented on arching woody maroon stems. Outstanding houseplant, but like many spurges, sap is toxic, and thus called "Blindness Tree" in Southeast Asia where it is commercially valuable to stun fish for easy catches (do not try this in your goldfish pond). Easy. Has long enjoyed the distinction of being the cover plant of George Elbert's large tome on foliage plants, unfortunately now out of print.

66882 EXCOECARIA COCHINCHINENSIS TRICOLOR FANTASY EUP HP TGH PRICE: $25.00 The merely extraordinary "Tricolor Chinese Croton" with the paired dark leaves not only flashing a brilliant laquer red underleaf, but random pink splashes on the surface as well. Amazing clone of this Asian shrublet. Another imperative addition to any self-respecting collection of rare variegated plants.
