Specialty Lists for Items in Short Supply

Rather than just post a mid-summer or early fall listing of new and special plants, we are attempting to maintain and update this SPECIALITY LIST monthly, starting this winter of 2010. During the major time warps of late spring when our mailorder shipping is at peak, expect a lapse or so, but by early summer we should be keeping newly available items posted with some regularity--many curious and rare plants (usually only available to visitors visiting the nursery to uncover) are currently in propagation. But many are too iffy to list with tropical and succulent offerings in the main section of this website and are not finished enough to be offered in this list now; so watch for changes below. Most of the following do not appear in the main catalogue listings either because they are not in ongoing production (as are plants in the main catalogue which are notated SOLD OUT, but not removed from the postings), or because the number of available rooted and potted individual plants is quite limited and no further crops are anticipated soon. So have fun reading through what might constitute the most hopelessly bizarre and "rarely" jumbled selection of prize plants you've met in some time. We exist to keep you amused and to keep you supplied with just enough new toys (plants) to keep you amused but never sated.

60558 BURSERA FAGAROIDES LARGE SIZE SPECIMEN BUR HP CGH $ 45.00 Fall 2010Special Offering! These are a group of larger plants we just received. Good price for a very good-sized plant ready for a Bonsai pot. Named for the pinnate leaves resemblence to the Prickly-Ash family such as fellow West-indian native, the Satinwood. Heavy trunks topped by interlaced limber stems with strong fragrance, thus the "Mexican Frankinensense Shrub." Fabulous in the greenhouse succulent collection; handsome as a sunny windowsill potplant; always popular among bonsai fanciers as the leaves remain petite and the trunk becomes more and more swollen with fascinating bark.

67311 EUPHORBIA PRIMULIFOLIA EUP $ 40.00 Madagascar native with tapering caudiform tuber seasonally sprouting a rosette of wide primrose lvs with small infl of pink to green cyathophylls. Marvelous compact species which demands consistent heat.

65099 GASTERIA ARMSTRONGII LIL HP TGH $ 5.00"Blacktie Plant" Quite short wide leaves open flat to display raspy black-green surface; initially distichous, but will spiral with age. South Cape.

60787 JATROPHA BERLANDIERI EUP HP TGH $ 14.50 Curious Jatropha from Mexico which is grown above ground in cultivation, although its tuber is underground in nature. We find that this plant adapts well in bright windows in the home and greenhouse. These are 3 inch plus tubers with great character.

58715 PEDILANTHUS TITHYMALOIDES SPLISH SPLASH EUP HP TGH $ 15.00 "Marbled Devil's Backbone" New from Asia, this plant is one of the most astounding new intros we have had this year. A few are now starting to get ready. Order now.A new clone of the Devil's Backbone with broad strong growth sporting splish splash markings and marblings. This is a stunning new import from Thailand. The leaves are broader than the normal Devil's Backbone and the plant branches easily.

61063 UNCARINA ROEOESLIANA PEDALIACEAE HP CGH $ 17.50 Compact relative of the Uncarina grandidierii. This plant actually blooms at a small size. Very nice caudex forming plant for the collector of odd caudiciforms or Madagascar plant collector. Very odd member of the Pedaliaceae Family. These are younger plants just forming their caudex. A great price for a rare plants. Leaves are fuzzy.
