I know some have cool leaves but the ones I can grow here...blah. I always hear "oh they're such a great dry shade groundcover" Bull. They're so slow growing it makes me want to rip my eyes out.

Did you happen to get their name. I see in the second of that series of pictures a plant label at the base of the plant. It is one of the double whorled leaflet Schefflera like hoi or S. hoi ssp fansipanensis. There are many more of these types. Several years ago at a plant sale Sean and I were talking about Schefflera and he said he has all the Schefflera or most of them that Crug Farms in England has. These pictures confirm that he has at least more than just S. delavayi and S. taiwaniana. I hope he offers them in the Cistus catalog soon, before I'm too old to garden, LOL.<br />John (Aberdeen, Wa)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-12712940528833504102013-02-08T22:22:05.985-08:002013-02-08T22:22:05.985-08:00Heading down to Cistus & the garden show tomor...Heading down to Cistus & the garden show tomorrow...I am so not going to be able to sleep tonight!!!!Justin Galicichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544374731959063754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-89532475346995423752013-02-08T17:14:06.549-08:002013-02-08T17:14:06.549-08:00that red jar was stunning...Osmanthus...tea...remi...that red jar was stunning...Osmanthus...tea...reminds me of southern China...wish i could smell it....sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529895941009940357noreply@blogger.com
