Hey B (et al), No one "specializes" in impatiens at NYBG. At various times during the recent past they've had things going there. Marc Hachadourian is the current curator of the glasshouses and would be able to tell you what's in the collection at the moment. Ernie and I DO know each other (had lunch last week--always a good time). He and I have been messing--as have many on this list--with a goodly assortment of interesting plants, bulbous and otherwise.

Where is Tuckahoe? I'm right on the other side of the Outerbridge (no, not Perth Amboy NJ, bit south). Who specializes in impatiens at NYBG? Do you know Carlo?
