54071 FATSIA JAPONICA ARAL CGH HH PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 55.00 White margined leaves. Not speckled, not dappled, but each glossy palmate leaf brightly outlined with ivory white. The real thing--though sold as 'Variegata' in California nurseries. INQUIRE as to availability.

61716 FATSIA JAPONICA SPIDER'S WEB ARAL HP PRICE: $12.00 SOLD OUT AT THIS TIME. SORRY 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.

Fig Trees and Bonsai (FICUS) for THE 2012 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 @ PRICE: $28.00

43130 FICUS AFGHANISTANICA MOR CGH HH PRICE: $ 15.00 WE ARE TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK -- DO NOT ORDER AT THIS TIME "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 available during the late Spring or early summer as 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. 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 PRICE: $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 $ 27.50 "Clown Fig" This item is irregularly available. Please click on the "Propagate-to-Order" button and we will get back with you. . 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--yet a solid green leaved form seems to be still undiscovered.

66740FICUS BENJAMINA DUTCH TREAT MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 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.

54586 FICUS BENJAMINA GOLDEN KING MOR TGH HP PRICE: $ 8.75 A selection of "Java Fig" displaying a distinctly lateral habit with wide slate green leaves irregularly edged in cream. Slightly larger statured than the white margined 'Silver King,' but easier as a houseplant.

40267 FICUS BENJAMINA NUDA [COMOSA] MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Orange India Fig" Dull glossy narrowed heavily substanced leaves thickly set on non-drooping branches; Very distincly colored orange figs with maturity. Tolerates drier conditions than any other cultivar or variety of benjamina we have grown. Some suggest this is to be reclassified as F. philippensis. New growth of this now rare form will be bronzy toned if they emerge in full sun.

40412 FICUS BENJAMINA REGINALD MOR TGH HP PRICE: $ 9.00 Impressive "Golden Weeping Fig" wide branching stems packed with large quite wide glossy leaves of a beautiful creamy lime with splashes of darker green along the midvein. Distinctive cultivar originally 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.

55650 FICUS BENJAMINA SALT AND PEPPER [HORT] MOR TGH HP PRICE: $ 25.00 A wonderful new introduction for 2012 . Recommended. Semi-weeping habit on stout erect trunks with multitudes of small ornately curved leaves richly speckled and streaked-- an unusual and highly attractive variegation pattern seldom obseved on fig cultivars. Easy to grow.

55641 FICUS BENJAMINA SILVER KING MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 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 $ 25.00 Available for the coming season once again. Distinctive "Zig Zag" branches 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 PRICE: $ 12.00 Leathery smooth oval leaves on low epiphytic species; popular among indoor bonsai trainers as waxy small leaves reduce well, the stems grow laterally quite easily, & (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, so patience may be advised when ordering this lovely tiny fruited fig originally shared with us by Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens.

40270 FICUS BUXIFOLIA (FICUS LINGUA) MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Boxwood Fig" Compact willowy branches loaded with tiny leathery elongated-triangle leaves; 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 PRICE: $ 15.00 "Edible Fig" This does not maintain good variegationon the leaves. The first three pictures are of this plant. 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. Notice the last three pictures which shows a high color form that we are intending to propagate soon.

40306 FICUS CRATERSTOMA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 22.00 "Birchbark Fig" Decorative peeling bark on solid woody trunks; boat-shaped leaves; clusters of round woody fruit. A "Character" greenhouse subject sometimes tolerant of indoor conditions. Sent as available.

40274 FICUS DIVERSIFOLIA [DELTOIDEA] MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Mistletoe Fig" Small oval, lance, or even triangular leaves on dwarf multibranched shrublet studded with green figlets. Used in various bonsai styles as "Misotoru-ichijiku." Demand can outstrip our production; so best to check for availability before ordering.

40275FICUS DIVERSIFOLIA VARIEGATA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 40.00 "Variegated Mistletoe Fig" cream & white streaked leaves & fruit making this slow growing species even slower! These are very tiny starter plants--which eventually become larger very tiny shrubs. Do not expect this to be a large plant. Athe variegation in the winter has been slight; our pictures will improve as we get better photos this coming season. Newly offered again in 2012 .

41593FICUS ELASTICA CONGESTA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 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 (and thus will no doubt remain quite rare), but always to be highly prized by collectors.

44020 FICUS ELASTICA BURGUNDY MOR HP TGH PRICE: $5.75 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 PRICE: $10.00 Brilliantly variegated "Rubber Tree" with amazing color possible to keep even in areas of lower humidity as the thick leathery leaves 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 PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 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 in the deep tropics of your greenhouse. Our fig fancier customers inform us that this is a better performing house plant than the similar F. l. Allii.

58302 FICUS LONGIFOLIA ALLII MOR TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Long leathery pendant leaves closely shingled on handsome somewhat weeping 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..Leaves are narrower generally than Ficus longifolia.

54110 FICUS LONGIFOLIA ALLII VARIEGATED SOL TGH CGH HP PRICE: $ 75.00 Beautiful golden lime toned leaves with several shades of green feathering on elegantly arching woody stems. Very impressive new cultivar for the serious collector.

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. The most distinctive thing about this clone is that the leaves are closely and lightly packed, one on top of the other. Very good habit. It can be kept in a small pot longer than the more lanky species form. We recommend.

58487 FICUS MICROPHYLLA NEW DWARF MOR HP TGH $ 12.00 "Dwarf Tiger Bark Fig" Excellent bonsai with short, branching trunk and very dwarf leaves; excellent as a standard; perfect as a tropical bonsai; but also perfect for terrarium culture. We do have limited availability at this time but anticipate offering more in the spring.

58324 FICUS MICROPHYLLA GOLDEN GATE MOR HP TGH $ 12.00 "Tiger Bark Fig" Excellent bonsai with short, branching trunk decoratively striped as well as adorned with raised white dots; all holding an array of small glossy bright toned leaves (not variegated). Excellent as a standard; perfect as a tropical bonsai. Check for availability before ordering.

40281 FICUS MICROCARPA ROUND LEAF MOR HP TGH $ 9.00 "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. In good or bright light, these have a blunt leaf; in our greenhouses with less than full sun, they often have a slight point to the leaf as in picture one!

40283 FICUS NATALENSIS MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.75 "Natal Fig" Small distinctively shaped thin leaves on much-branched plants excellent in containers; if chilled, will enter a dormancy cycle--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--but you can always use these dropped leaves for your sycomancy persuits. A better greenhouse subject than a houseplant. We are told that this is grown for its fruit in South Africa; we are unsure as to the implementation of said fruit.

42140 FICUS NITIDA SINGAPORE MONSTROSE MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Originally distributed as 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 seems to have evolved just for the tropical bonsai enthusiasts to grow.

94028 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] MOR HP TGH CGH PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 10.00 "Miniature Oakleaf Fig" Tiny deep green leaves 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. This is not the much larger Ficus quercifolia--which see below.

41881 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] SNOWFLAKE MOR HP TERR PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 10.00 "Oakleaf Fig" Long prostrate branches display 3" to 6" long leaves 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: $ 25.00 Not available until further notice. Our new crop is not ready 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. Please be aware that foliage may drop during shipping, but new growth will soon put out new foliage.

40295 FICUS RETUSA-NITIDA VARIEGATA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Laurel Fig. Available occasionally. This is more upright growing than the Ficus benjamina cultivars. Sometimes the leaves are quite variegated. This makes a good bonsai subject. Variegation is strong. Check on availability. Yellow cream midrib on each new lf darkens with age, giving a lovely two-tone effect to this vigorous "Laurel Fig" clone which holds foliage well indoors: Eventually becomes green-centered and cream margined. "Shima-banujanu" of tropic Japanese bonsai. Now Ficus microcarpa nidida.

40300 FICUS SAGITATA VARIEGATA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 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 PRICE: $ 9.50 "Willow Leaf Fig" Masses of narrow leaves (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.

58321 FICUS SPECIES SANDPAPER LEAF MOR TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Arching rose blushed willowy stems cloaked with smallish papery leaves extremely rough textured; easily produces petite figlets. From the collection of Ira Condot.

41746 FICUS SOCOTRANA [HORT] MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 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 may never win a beauty contest.

41390 FICUS TINCTORIA PARASITICA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Leathery, blunted trapizoidal to oblong diamond leaves; 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. Sometimes in short supply.

40303 FICUS TRIANGULARIS [NATALENSIS LEPRIEURII] MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Triangle Bush" Flexible glossy branches hold interesting waxy triangular leaves with decorative clusters of tiny figs. Please INQUIRE as to the availability of this plant before ordering.

40304 FICUS TRIANGULARIS VARIEGATA MOR TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 Fabulous cream-white patched leaves on the "Vanilla Triangle Fig"--we recommend greenhouse humidity for success. Perhaps F. natalensis eprienrii variegata, for those at the absolute cusp of Ficus nomenclature.

Our variety of Nerve Plants is great this season

58486 FITTONIA VERSCHAFELTII ARGYRONEURA AUTUMN FLAME (FOREST FLAME) ACAN TERR HP PRICE: $ 8.50 . Popular recent introduction.

58329 FITTONIA VERSCHAFFELTII FORTISSIMO ACA HP TERR PRICE: $ 6.75 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 PRICE: $ 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.

59180 FUCHSIA ENCLIANDIA LOTTIE HOBBIE ONA CGH HHPRICE: $ 5.25 Very tiny foliaged arched stems with bright tiny dark pink & cerise blossoms 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 PRICE: $ 4.75 Beautifully arching woody slender stems with lanceolate leaves, thickly textured with dark reddish veins giving the foliage a blush hue; many delicate dangling single red tubed flowers with 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. Customers in Key West and in San Antonio report this to be an excellent outdoor hedge.

59226 FUCHSIA TRANDSHEN BONNSTADT [HYB] ONA CGH PRICE: $ 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 of heat and sun.

40310 FUCHSIA TRIPHYLLA FIRECRACKER ONA CGH PRICE: $ 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. Only for those who enjoy a challenge working with difficult prima donnas. We will take cuttings to propagate this for you upon receiving your order.

40314 FUCHSIA TRIPHYLLA GARTENMEISTER BOHNSTEDT ONA PRICE: $ 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.
