40501 FATSHEDERA LIZEI PIA ARAL HP $4.75 "Curly Tree Ivy" Also often called "Botanical Wonder: for it is a hybrid of Aralia and Hedera. Star-shaped leaves deeply fluted (sometimes listed as F. undulata) on erect semi-woody stems. Tolerates considerable chill.

40502 FATSHEDERA LIZEI PIA VARIEGATA ARAL CGH HH $ 6.00 Traditional houseplant, hardy outdoors in the deep south: glossy very deep green palmate leathery leaves with a white margin around every decorative fingered points, densely placed on the stout woody stems. Famous as a botanic wonder because it is a hybrid between the genus Fatsia, and the genus Hedera (Ivies). Perfect for that spot too chill for most of your houseplants.

54071 FATSIA JAPONICA ARAL CGH HH $ 4.50 Traditional houseplant, winter hardy in the very deep south: glossy very deep green palmate leathery leaves with decorative points, densely placed on the stout upright woody stems. Perfect for that spot too chill for most of your houseplants.

51933 FATSIA JAPONICA MARGINATA ARAL CGH HH HP $ 55.00 White margined leaves. Not speckled, not dappled, but each glossy palmate leaf brightly outlined with ivory white. The real thing. Well established specimens--will achieve some girth with maturity.

61716 FATSIA JAPONICA SPIDER'S WEB ARAL HP $12.00 The wide leathery palmate leaves are brilliantly frosted white on the margins, with startling effect. Beautiful, yet easily grown as is winter hardy in the deep South, yet, as it willingly accomodates to container growing, is an excellent houseplant (especially for that chilly entryway or cool glassed in porch); we puts three plants in a large shallow urn for summer duty on the deck, and winter duty in a chilly porch with a batch of Clivia and Pelargoniums--seems to work just fine. This fabulouly beautiful selection was named by Mr. Hirose of variegation book fame. Quite amazing when the branched button bush (Ivy like) flower heads develop with maturity.

40262 FELICIA AMELLOIDES VARIEGATA COMP CGH HP $ 6.75"Snow & Sapphires" Nearly everblooming sapphire-blue daisy flowers with cheerful yellow eyes, over tightly branched foliage liberally variegated with snow white. Bright light to full sun; cool winter greenhouse a perfect environment. Not a house plant.

Fig Trees and Bonsai (FICUS) for THE 2008 SEASON

The TROPICAL FIGS, unrivaled as imposing reliable houseplants, impressively trained standards or (as with the pumila group) premire topiary creepers; some members are most famous as terrarium subjects, others for windowsill containers, hanging baskets & indoor bonsai. As we are never clear as to which others beyond the following modest offering will be available from time to time from our rather too extensive collection (which is usually busy trying to strangle parts of the stockhouses), so why not try out a wide range of reliable types from stranglers to creepers to bonsai stars selected by us.

99461 FIG FAMILY COLLECTION: One of the essential backbone genera for indoor plant groupings with a very wide range of habits and tolerances with various outstanding variegated selections. You may suggest that you would prefer species and hybrids appropriate for terrariums, standards, topiary, indoor gardening, bonsai, and so on--we've a wide range to select from. 5 plants @ $22.00

43130 FICUS AFGHANISTANICA MOR CGH HH $ 15.00 "Iranian Fig" with deeply fingered leaves with three main deep lobes; produces very sweet edible figs. Considered at least Z8b winter hardy. We have had some problems keeping this propagated during some seasons of the year. We considered dropping this from our offerings, but have decided to offer it on a propagate-to-order basis. It is usually availbable during the late Spring or early summer. It seems to root reliably only during the early Spring. If you order, it will be shipped when it is available. We will take your order and ship it when we feel it is best to ship. This is a rare item and we do not want to drop it at this time from our offerings. It is from an area that has seasonal shifts, thus, unless you have a cool greenhouse or a zone 7 climate, this may not be the plant for you. It is more difficult to grow than Ficus carica! If you need it at a specific date, please consult another vendor as it does not easily cooperate with our intended scheduling!

41522 FICUS ALTISSIMA VARIEGATED MOR HP $15.00 "Golden Council Tree" Thick boat-shaped leaves broadly margined with clear yellow-ochre; habit of F. elastica with a less rigid habit. The yellows of this are most effective when placed with any of the F. elastica cultivars (with their pinks & purple foliage) in your interior designs.

40263 FICUS ASPERA [PARCELLII] MOR HP TGH $ 15.00 "Clown Fig". Sandpapery leaves flecked creamy white, gray green and dull tanish pink with a bit of green mosaic to maintain sufficient chlorophyll; fruit striped cream. Eventually achieves considerable stature. Needs a constant level of humidity to ward off attacks of spider mite. Seems to perform best in a cool greenhouse in full sun with free root run. Taxonomists now suggest that 'Parcellii' be considered a cultivar name rather than a synonym--an a solid green leaved form seems to be still undiscovered.

66740FICUS BENJAMINA DUTCH TREAT MOR HP TGH $ 7.50 Extremely wee fig with lovely tiny shimmery leaves more twisted & petite than those of 'Too Little'; heavily branched selection for those mame creators for whom 'Too Little' is simply too big. Always a great favorite with bonsai trainers, newly popular for inclusion in terrarium landscapes as its scale is very miniature.

66980 FICUS BENJAMINA GOLD BIT MOR TGH HP $12.00 Very delicately statured with pertly curled tiny pale olive to lime green lvs with emerald brushings along the midrib. Difficult outside a terrarium. Best check before ordering, as it is much sought after and thus can be in limited stock.
51732 FICUS BENJAMINA MINI LUCIE MOR HP TGH $ 20.00 The small statured "Serpentine Fig" with zigzagging woody glossy stems winged with deep green downturned small leather leaves--requires patience and love. Unusual selection for the wavy gravy collector.

61697 FICUS BENJAMINA NIGHTINGALE MOR TGH HP $ 25.00 A slow-growing miniature "Weeping Fig" with tiny glossy cassis green leaves, each with a dark chocolate green central flame A natural for indoor bonsai. A long term project as this is very very slow growing.

40412 FICUS BENJAMINA REGINALD MOR TGH HP $ 9.00 We have a nice price, lower for this wonderful fig, less than half the price of previous year. We have better stock right now. Impressive "Golden Weeping Fig" wide branching stems packed with large quite wide glossy lvs of a beautiful creamy lime with splashes of darker green along the midvein. Distinctive cv. received from John Criswick. Such extreme variegation typically requires higher levels of humidity than other "Weeping Fig" cultivars--a good choice for conservatories and hobby greenhouses; nonetheless, we have grown this quite successfuly near a sunny window indoors. This variegated variegate is not a dwarf--it will become a full sized amazingly impressive specimen in time. Very beautiful variegated variegate.

55641 FICUS BENJAMINA SILVER KING MOR HP TGH $ 7.25 Very wide leaves with clear white margins fading to cream gold; typically horizontal branch planes. Very seldom available as is slow growing and unhappy with direct sun exposure or low levels of humidity, which results in leaf burn.

54387 FICUS BENJAMINA TOO LITTLE MOR HP TGH $ 12.00 The perfect miniature fig for indoor bonsai: thickly foliaged with tiny recurved glossy leaflets on twiggy branchlets. A great find by Jim Atchison, from whom this clone derives. Possibly the best place to start for an indoor bonsai experience if you anticipate needing some immediate positive stroking as a master of tropical bonsai--especially as the swollen roots help this survive a minor lapse in your watering schedule!

55647 FICUS BENJAMINA WIANDI MOR HT $ 15.00 Distinctive "Zig Zag" brances with glossy fluted leaves; has European patent. Exotic Angel Pat. 8929 for "Rainne" as the "Carribean Dwarf Banyan Tree"!! 'Wiandi' grows more vertically and produces smaller leaves than 'Rainee'. No really clear view of this seems attainable from the Florida trade.

40269 FICUS BURTT-DAVYI CANGO MOR HP TGH $ 12.00 Leathery smooth oval leaves on low epiphytic species; popular among indoor bonsai trainers as waxy small leaves reduce well & (with good humidity) masses of strangler roots give good character especially as trained over coral or other character stones. (Techniques for this procedure are presented in several of the bonsai themed books we offer in the book section of this site.) At times demand outstrips our stock--but we feel we will have sufficient numbers for '08.

40270 FICUS BUXIFOLIA (FICUS LINGUA) MOR HP TGH $ 15.00 "Boxwood Fig" Compact willowy branches loaded with tiny leathery elongated-triangle lvs; the petite stature, easy culture and early fruiting make this a traditional favorite for bonsai.The alternate name for this plant is Ficus lingua and this may be more correct. .

40272 FICUS CARICA VARIEGATA MOR HH CGH $ 15.00 "Edible Fig" This selection is the traditional famous Japanese clone with striped stems on new growth and initially mottled leaves soon fading to green. Used in Asia as a laxative and as a wart remover; a traditional fruit in most subtropical areas of the world. Not a clone which can be considered reliably winter hardy in our climate--although will reach massive proportions in the deep South. If you expect this to be highly variegated, please do not order--this is an heirloom Japanese cultivar from Japanese collectors. Some customers in hot areas of California cannot get good striping on new stems. If your interests are in a fruit crop, please buy 'Brown Turkey' which we do offer from time to time.

40306 FICUS CRATERSTOMA MOR HP TGH $ 6.25 Crinkly deep green leaves are elongated triangles from much- branched trunks; good indoor shrub/tree from Zimbabwe easily forming decorative strangler roots. Most interesting as a standard (soon swallowing up its initial training stake) for when "stooled" on top will send out endless shoots in all directions like a dandelion seed head, most effective with the small featured dark green foliage of pieslice glossy dark leaves. This has swallowed up several areas in our stockhouses as it will produce may aerial roots in a humid atmosphere and soon one observes it growing from the neighbors' pots and baskets--topiary growers love its growing vigor, flexible stems, and deep green tones.

40273 FICUS CYATHISTIPULA MOR HP TGH $ 22.00 "Birchbark Fig" Decorative peeling bark; boat-shaped leaves; clusters of round woody fruit. A "Character" greenhouse subject and even tolerant of indoor conditions.

41593FICUS ELASTICA CONGESTA MOR HP TGH $ 45.00 "Miniature Rubber Tree" Very dark green glossy leaves thickly spaced on the stout stems. Remarkable dwarf selection noted for retaining the heavy appreviated foliage as new shoots repeatedly form, creating a tidy column of thick beautifully succulent leathery foliage thickly spaced. Most handsome. Much too slow growing to be in the general trade, but highly prized by collectors.

44020 FICUS ELASTICA BURGANDY $ 12.00 Beautiful "Purple Rubber Tree" with thick glossy cardboard leaves thickly spaced on the woody central stem. Tolerates low humidity.

55577 FICUS ELASTICA TRICOLOR MOR GH $ 5.00 Brilliantly variegated "Rubber Tree" with amazing color possible to keep even in areas of lower humidity as the thick leathery lvs have a waxy surface protecting them from and rapid loss of moisture. The angular growth habit is easily toned down by judicious pruning.

41260 FICUS FRED BOUTIN MOR HP CGH $ 5.00 Unique woody, twiggy low growing "character" trunks give this quirky hybrid of F. carica x pumila high marks with cascade bonsai trainers who also value its richly haired, quilted foliage. this selfbranching jewel needs high humidity like its carica parent to maintain good spidermite free foliage; loves a pole or wall to clamber like its pumila parent. Of most interest to collectors as the Moraceae are notoriously difficult to hybridize as the blossoms face the center of the enclosed protofruit available only to the designated wasp species.. Not only prized by moss topiary designers but also now discovered by Wardian Case designers looking for a taller fig which will remain small featured.

40278 FICUS LONGIFOLIA [BARTERI] MOR TGH $ 22.00 Long leathery pendant leaves closely shingled on handsome arching branches; rare species developing papery mahogany-umber trunks speckled with bright whitish bars--best situtated so this ornately designed trunk can be easily viewed. Epiphytic African strangler more deeply dramatically weeping than the similar smaller and more rigidly erect Ficus maclellandii 'Alii'. Always dramatic, easily grown species which seems to have disappeared from the trade, although still a basic street tree in Singapore, from which our clone derives. Without doubt the most beautiful weeping form in the fig tribe even though it displays a strangler urge if grown in high humidity. Will be available again by summer '08.

58302 FICUS LONGIFOLIA ALLII MOR TGH $ 15.00 Long leathery pendant leaves closely shingled on handsome upright branches; commoner but better growing cousin to the Ficus longifolia above developing papery mahogany-umber trunks speckled with bright whitish bars--best situtated so this ornately designed trunk can be easily viewed. Epiphytic African strangler. Always dramatic, easily grown species which seems to have disappeared from the trade, although still a basic street tree in Singapore, from which our clone derives. Beautiful weeping form in the fig tribe--faster growing than its more pendant cousin..

54484 FICUS LYRATA COMPACTA MOR HP CGH $ 8.00 "Fiddle Leaf Fig" African species with dramatic dark handsom leathery foliage--an easy indoor plant. These are perfectly beautiful small plants ready to expand into imposing specimens for you. Inquire after an even more dimunitive dwarf fiddle leaf cultivar we are just starting to propagate.

58324 FICUS MICROPHYLLA GOLDEN GATE MOR HP TGH $ 12.00 "Tiger Bark Fig" Excellent bonsai with short, branching trunk decoratively striped holding an array of small glossy bright toned leaves (not variegated). Excellent as a standard; perfect as a tropical bonsai.

40281 FICUS MICROCARPA ROUND LEAF MOR HP TGH $ 4.00 "Green Island Fig" Dark glossy boat-shaped oval leaves very thickly set on much-branched stems which soon develop corky bark of great character. Very popular bonsai subject which readily develops cute clusters of acorn-like fruit.

40283 FICUS NATALENSIS $ 6.75 "Natal Fig" Small distinctively shaped thin leaves on much-branched plants excellent in containers; if chilled, will enter a dormancy cycles--do not be alarmed for the elongated somewhat rhomboid foliage will soon emerge on new shoots. Please note that this species typically partially defoliates when shipped. A better greenhouse subject than a houseplant. We are told that this is grown for its fruit in South Africa.

42140 FICUS NITIDA SINGAPORE MONSTROSE MOR HP TGH $ 18.00 Hansoti #24 Curious bonsai subject with thickened heavy, irregularly margined (outlined) foliage. Unsettling leathery appearance to some; a weird figal departure from normal figdom to others. Another of the treasures H. Hansoti brought to us from his collection in India forming a compact irregular shrublet given time and patience. Yes, collectors, this is once again in stock.

94028 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] MOR HP TGH CGH $ 4.00 "Creeping Fig" clasping stems covered by overlapping small dark oval leaves much valued as can be used in topiary, terrariums, wall covers, hanging baskets. Yes, this is the remarkable wall cover used so dramatically and beautifully at Longwood Gardens. The basic dependable plant for covering any moss filled wired topiary form.

42019 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] CURLY MOR HP TERR $ 5.25 "Flame Leaf Creeping Fig" Quilted, irregularly lobed oakleaf with central chartreuse flame design; very open growth habit perfect for your terrarium. Known as 'Dorte' in Europe. Remove reversions immediately.

40289 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] MINIMA MOR HP CGH TER $ 4.25 "Quilted Creeping Fig" lovely tiny puckered leaves; miniatured dimpled form of a miniature species--the clasping stems tend to be utterly plastered against whatever it is busily covering. The best choice for covering the base surface of any tropical bonsai as prefers to flatten itself to the contour of the surface and has very small leaves. This is much prized by topiary designers who do not wish to sheer their mossed frames. Slow to establish and thus seldom offered in the trade.

40290 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] QUERCIFOLIA MOR HP CGH TER $ 10.00 "Miniature Oakleaf Fig" Tiny deep green lvs are deeply lobed. Not only is the individual leaf considerably smaller than the species form but each dimpled leaf is deeply lobed as if a tiny oak shaped cookie cutter was at work overtime. More clumping than running in habit, this is the "to die for" choice for the sophisticated terrarium or the stunningly wee topiary only inches high. The crown jewel of the "Creeping Fig" cultivars.

41881 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] SNOWFLAKE MOR HP TERR $ 4.75 Beautiful "Snowflake Fig" forms an overlapping mat made of irregularly lobed small glossy leaves with showy marginal bands of bright clear white. Show stopper known in Europe for reasons unclear as 'Arina' or 'White Sunny.'

40291 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] VARIEGATA MOR HP CGH $ 4.75 "Variegated Creeping Fig" White mottling best in cool conditions. This "sprinkled" form never reverts as do 'Snowflake' and 'Curly'; amazingly dramatic in its winter growth (in cool, not frosted spots) which emegers nearly white with lime green speckling and then gradually matures to a rich deep green tiny oval leaf sprinkled with white. Some customers in the tip of Florida and the hot spots of Texas inform us that the foliage emerges entirely green during the fryng hot months, but with cooler nights in the fall, start emerging white again. Quite wonderful.

40292 FICUS QUERCIFOLIA [MONTANA] MOR HP TGH $ 5.00 "Oakleaf Fig" Long prostrate branches display 3" to 6" long lvs lobed like an oak; accompanied by "acorn mimic" fig fruits; prefers low light. Excellent as an elegant arching groundcover; dramatic as an unusual, unexpected hanging basket candidate (if the basket never receives full sun which will burn this species); always a curious and successful as an "open form" pot plant. Do not confuse with the tiny F. pumila quercifolia which creeps on the surface of soil.

40293 FICUS RELIGIOSA MOR TGH CGH PRICE: $ 20.00 SOLD OUT UNTIL SPRING OF 2009. We will be offering this again as soon as stocks are sufficient. We are out the season at this time. "Bo Tree" or "Sacred Fig" Heart-shaped, very long-tailed leaves can be deciduous during winter; sacred to Hindus and Buddhists as "Peepul" or "Bohdi" enlightenment tree; thickened basal (caudiform) trunks form on these seedlings.

40300 FICUS SAGITATA VARIEGATA MOR HP TGH $ 10.00 "Trailing Fig" dark quilted long leaves over wiry often creeping stems which arch to give an open effect. This is the beautiful variegated or marginated form of this old favorite. Not as clingy as the Ficus pumila types, but makes quite a nice ground cover in pots around larger plants. Also if often used as a hanging basket subject and perfect in mossed topiary use as the stems root into the moss.

40301 FICUS SALICARIA (SALICIFOLIA) MOR HP TGH $ 9.50 "Willow Leaf Fig" Masses of narrow lvs (thus also called F. neriifolia as well as F. salicifolia) on upright dwarf multi-trunked trees; perfect bonsai. Roots are said to be chewed as a sterility cure in Zimbabwe! We make no guarantee on curative powers, but believe it an excellent container subject. Newly published under the name of Ficus Salicaria for which information we thank Derek Burch. Whatever its name, this shrubby freely branching beauty is at home in any bonsai pot; however, released into a larger pot or given free root run, this soon achieves wide handsome proportions at which point the beauty of the older bark becomes apparent.

41746 FICUS SOCOTRANA [HORT] MOR HP TGH $ 8.00 "Socotran Fig" Narrow fastigate habit: slim stem punctuated with oddly angled propellar leaves. Interesting container subject if regulary shaped; several customers have used this as a standard quite successfully. Not the clone at featured in the gardens at Quail; this comes from the former USDA collection and matches the plant described in several monographs. Quite rare; extremely unique oddball--but will never win a beauty contest.

41390 FICUS TINCTORIA PARASITICA MOR HP TGH $ 15.00 Leathery, blunted trapizoidal to oblong diamond lvs; attractive habit with arched stems bearing many "mistletoe" fruits most likely to form only if the tree is given high levels of humidity. Not an actual parasite, but definitely loves to be an epiphyte. Performs well in a small container; performs too well with free root run! Certainly one of the most beautiful of the tree figs with elegantly cascading branches closely cloaked with papery rhomboid foliage. Must have constant high humidity.

40303 FICUS TRIANGULARIS [NATALENSIS LEPRIEURII] MOR HP TGH $ 15.00 "Triangle Bush" Flexible glossy branches hold interesting waxy triangular lvs with decorative clusters of tiny figs. New for the late 2008 and 2008 season. There is a variegated form which we may be offering in the near future. See our Variegated Plant Gallery for the Malay Gold form of this plant.

31468 FITTONIA VERSCHAFELTII PEARCEI JUANITA ACAN TERR HP $ 3.00 This selection of "Pink Snakeskin Plant" features the bright pinkish tan fishnet veins in a monstrose stretched mosaic; adds a brilliance to any terrarium.

50021 FITTONIA V~ A~ MINOR VARIEGATA ACAN TERR TGH R $8.00 "Variegated Miniature Nerve Plant" Ivory-mottled lvs. Rare carpet for the terrarium or wardian case where stable HIGH humidity levels can be maintained. Also marketed as "Angel Snow" Fittonia. The name is considerably bigger than the plant.

50019 FITTONIA VERSCHAFELTII ARGYRONEURA STRIPES FOREVERACAN TERR TGH $5.75 "Nerve Plant" cultivar with the bright white network of veins elongated as are the stretched elongated tiny leaves--must have high humidity to thrive. Unusual stretched fishnet patterns on the prostrate foliage make this a favorite for terrarium designers.

68485 FITTONIA VERSCHAFFELTII DARK STAR ACA HP TERR $ 6.75 Well, "Of All the Nerve Plants" with stunning new leaves emerging dark pink narrowed thick edged leaves in emerald green, the foliage gradually maturing to green with mosaic veins.

58329 FITTONIA VERSCHAFFELTII FORTISSIMO ACA HP TERR $ 6.75 A brand new variety of the Pink Nerve plant. If you wanted something bigger and more robust that could be grown anywhere, this is your choice. Not as colorfully bright as the other cultivars, but still a fine addition. Can be used to advantage in the Wardian Case..

53195 FITTONIA VERSCHAFFELTII FRANKIE ACA HP TERR $ 6.75 Well, "Of All the Nerve Plants" with stunning new leaves emerging pale baby bottom pink crimp edged in emerald green, the foliage gradually maturing to green with mosaic veins--must have humidity to survive. Will blink up any terrarium.

50018 FITTONIA VERSCHAFFELTII RED STARACA HP TGH $ 6.25 "Crested Red Nerve Plant" Deep red toned broad oval leaves with a mosaic of pink-tan veins. Heavy substanced low foliage fabuously crested with frilled margins; may be sent as mossed cuttings. Remarkable addition to any terrarium.

58360 FITTONIA VERSCHAFELTII SILVER ANNE ACAN TERR TGH $ 6.50 A cultivar of "White Nerve Plants" with unusually bright white veins in a startling network on strong papery leaves. Best in a Wardian Case as may be too vigorus for a small terrarium.

41803 FORTUNELLA HINDSII [TACHIBANA] RUT CGH $ 10.00 Brookside Garden released this beautiful petite leaved beauty as Citrus "Tachibana #1565". Very likely F. hindsii-from Hong Kong, this lovely "Dwarf Kumquat" quickly becomes a tiny featured shrub to small tree with small leathery oval leaves; fragrant blossom clusters quickly followed by small rounded orange-red fruit with 3-4 cells, very little juice. This is not a houseplant. Perfect tropical bonsai. Cannot ship to Western States nor to Florida.

52107 FOSTERELLA PENDULIFLORA BRO HP TGH $ 8.00Also Cottondorfia pendkuliflora in some reference books. Clumped soft whorls of gray-peppered leaves and arched "Lily-of-the-Valley" flower spikes. Easy.

52108 FOSTERELLA VILLOSULA BRO HP TGH$ 5.75 Bolivian with succulent purplish leaves in flattened starburst rosettes from which rise the wands of flowers; a colorful small Bromeliad tolerating lower light while maintaining its sophisticated coloration. Interesting successful windowsill potplant easily transferred to a starring role in any Wardian case.

59180 FUCHSIA ENCLIANDIA LOTTIE HOBBIE ONA CGH HH$ 5.25 Very tiny foliaged arched stems with bright tiny dark pink & cerise fls along their length; very miniature selection reputed to be winter hardy at least to Z7. Very popular with the bonsai & alpine greenhouse crowds! Petite enough for a terrarium. We prefer to ship this when the temperatures are moderate for sometimes it does not travel well without considerable leaf drop--a perfectly natural plant response to seasoned plantsmen, but an unnerving crisis to those new to growing. Naturally, it immediately leafs out just like most Pelargoniums after having survived the shock of a few days in a dark box.

42170 FUCHSIA MME. CORNELISSEN [HYB] ONA CGH HP HH $ 4.75 Beautifully arching woody slender stems with lanceolate lvs, thickly textured with dark reddish veins giving the foliage a blush hue; many delicate dangling single red tubed fls w/ red pointed sepals and white corollas with slim red veins. While the texture is petite, the eventual size of this chill tolerant "Irish Lady's Eardrop" can be considerable.

59226 FUCHSIA TRANDSHEN BONNSTADT [HYB] ONA CGH $ 6.25 Unusual erect woody stems cloaked with rich leaves feathered purple along their veins tipped with clusters of thickened pendant soft salmon flowers with rich pink flush. Distinctive habit combined with a willingness to bloom throughout the summer if shielded from extremes.

40310 FUCHSIA TRIPHYLLA FIRECRACKER ONA CGH $ 10.00 Fantastic upright stems cloaked with soft pewter green leaves richly bordered in cream with many "Ladies Eardrops" flower clusters with salmon pink blossoms enclosing salmon orange corollas--similar to flowers of F. Traudchen Bonstedt. Leaves will burn if situated in too much summer heat and scorching sun--always at its height of bloom and foliar beauty in the midwinter greenhouse. While the other triphylla cultivars do well in a windowsill, this tends to burn indoors as the variegation will not survive low humidity.

40314 FUCHSIA TRIPHYLLA GARTENMEISTER BOHNSTEDT ONA $ 4.25 "Red Wing Fuchsia" Upright stems with deep bronzy foliage, violet beneath; single red bloom clusters; good houseplant as species parent is native to warm West indies. 1906 German hybrid gradually clumping in to a modest shrub; thus easily grown in the same container for years.
