This is a recently introduced large and bold member of the Gesneriaceae (African Violet family). This newly named species is native to south China where it grows on mossy cliffs and rock faces. This is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a basal rosette of softly hairy, very large leaves with scalloped margins and on very short petioles so that the leaves all seem to arise from the very base of the plant. The flowers are borne upon a tall, open and upright panicle and are a solid lavender in color. A striking plant for a container, terrarium or shaded rockery.
A compact growing, slowly spreading evergreen fern with leathery, deeply divided fronds. This is an epiphytic species in its native Taiwan where it can also be found growing on cliffs and rocks. Best in a cool, moist, well-drained site with protection from hot afternoon sun. An uncommon species in cultivation. Our first offering of this choice fern - this species is an excellent subject for a container.
This is an edgeworthii hybrid and a sister seedling to the famous clone 'McNabii' with masses of super fragrant white flushed pink flowers in mid-spring. The dark green leaves have heavy veining and are quite attractive. Best in a container in colder climates. Our first offering of this lovely plant.
This is a hybrid ('Irian Jaya' x praetervisum) that features clusters of pendant and long tubular rose-purple flowers.
A stunning hybrid with flowers of deepest burgundy-purple, highlighted with much darker spots and deep green foliage. This eye-catching plant flowers in late spring and is easily grown in light shade or sun.
These plants are the result of a natural hybridization occurrence in the wild. The seed was collected from plants of the newly described species R. yuanbaoshanense but the resulting plants are obviously "contaminated" by R. fortunei which was growing nearby. These are vigorous seedlings with rounded leaves and are very similar in appearance to the fantastic yuanbaoshanense but are just a bit "off" from what you would expect these plants to look like.
Stiffly upright shrubs with broadly lanceolate, rigid and shiny leaves. The showy white flowers (late spring) are almost flat in shape with reddish flecks. A distinct and easily grown species with unusual stiff foliage and saucer-shaped flowers late in the season. Known only from a few mountains in NE Yunnan where it occurs around 10,000 ft. Our first offering in many years.
Our first offering of this rarely cultivated vireya (tropical) rhododendron. This distinct species features short and pointy, very glossy foliage, looking superficially like a short-needled conifer. The flowers are reddish (with a bit of orange), softly hairy, and pendant. This species is native to the mountains of Sumatra and was not introduced into cultivation until 1998. A choice addition to any vireya collection.
