What's Your Favorite Plant You Own?
James Waddick (Thu, 12 Aug 2010 07:11:19 PDT)
Dear Friends,
This is an impossible question.
1. Each day my "favorite" can change because it comes into
bloom, emerges from dormancy or makes a statement.
2. Even a group of plants - Begonias, or Iris or Cactus can
change from season to season.
3. Also important is that the web introduces us to new, never
before seen and MUST HAVE plants we can't possibly obtain or grow,
but love at first sight. (PBS is guilty here)
4. Finally , every plant breeder or seed grower is always
hoping that the next seedling, the next generation, will be a
combination of all the new characters they are hoping for. The 'plant
of the future' will be a new favorite.
Favorite plant? Impossible. Any and all are
candidates. Best Jim W.
