PAPHIOPEDILUM: Before they were classified, Paphiopedilums are known as Cympripediums. However, the popular name for this Lady's Slipper, because the third petals is modified to form a pouch that looks similar to a Lady's Slipper.

CYMBIDIUM: One of the most popular orchids in the world. They produce flowers in a wide range of colors and lip-makings that may contrast or harmonize w/ the rest of the flower. The word Cymbidium derives from the Greek "Kymbe", meaning "boat" which refers to the boat-like appearance of the lip.

DAISY

Aster

Purple Aster Daisy

Asters look as much like daisies as daisy mums do. All asters have yellow centers like true daisies and have brightly colored petals surrounding the center.

Bellis Perennis

English Daisy

The English daisy, bellis perennis, is the only true daisy. The flower has white or off-white petals that burst outwards from a yellow center. The name comes from a combination of the words "day's eye," which refers to the fact that the flower closes every night and opens every daybreak.

Chrysanthemum

Red Daisy Mum

One type of chrysanthemum, the daisy mum, is often mistaken as a daisy, because it has rays of petals surrounding a yellow center. However, unlike the true daisy, these petals aren't always white, and have a wide variety of colors, from pinks to yellows to blues

Dahlia

Yellow Dahlia Daisy

Dahlias are members of the Asteraceae family and are considered daisies, although they don't look like the traditional daisy. The blossoms have a star configuration, as the daisy does, but the petals are ruffled and flare upwards, and there is no classic daisy-like center.

Globe Thistle

Globe thistles are another member of the Asteraceae family that are considered daisies, but look nothing like a daisy. The flower looks more like a ball or a puff of thin petals, instead of the typical star-shape with ray petals.

FERN "NEPHROLEPIS"

1. Nephrolepis 'Ariane'

A new variety that is fast growing with shiny dark green fronds and a slightly more upright growth habit then typical Boston Fern. 'Ariane' is extremely tough and suitable for a wide range of container or basket sizes. As an added bonus, 'Ariane' brings better cold tolerance to the Boston Fern family.
It seems that we have finally come up with the ultimate Boston!

Nephrolepis 'Emina'

Nephrolepis exaltata ´Emina ® -- The fronds of this strong, compact cultivar stand erect and its slow growth habit makes it excellent for smaller pot sizes. The leaflets are dark green and delicately curled. ´Emina ®´ looks fabulous in arrangements with other small varieties. Close in appearance but tougher than its cousin Fluffy Ruffle, Emina's dark green fronds harden into crinkly/curly patterns. With its strong upright growth habit, this unique fern is perfect for 3 to 6 inch (7-15 cm) table top containers.

Nephrolepis 'Macho'

This fern has an open growing habit, with broad leathery leaflets that is used both for landscape gardening and as a house plant. It is a large coarse fern, with spreading rhizomes, green, with pendant pinnate fronds 1/2 to 1 inch long, the pinnea somewhat leathery.
'Macho' looks fine in a 6 inch pot but is at its best in larger containers or baskets. It is an excellent landscape fern which can be grown in wet conditions and in coastal areas.

Nephrolepis 'Nevada'

Meet the "Boston" fern that is quickly catching the eye of every serious Boston Fern grower. More compact and darker green than "True Boston", 'Nevada' gives the grower better space utilization and as an added bonus requires little or no clean up prior to shipping.

If you’re serious about "Boston Fern" then 'Nevada' is the right fern for you

Nephrolepis 'Emerald Queen'

NEPHROLEPIS 'EMERALD QUEEN' - Second only in industry production numbers to Boston Fern types is the very popular Emerald Queen. A tough and usually sun grown Nephrolepis that has proven to be quite versatile in southern landscapes, patio displays or as a tropical enjoyment indoors. Fronds are upright giving grower excellent space utilization. Given shade, fronds will slightly arch giving a softer appearance.
Depend on Emerald Queen to remain in high demand - there are few if any substitutions. Usually sold in 10" (3 gallon) containers.

ROSES

Blue Moon'
More lilac-purple than blue, it is still an unusual colour for a rose. Blue Moon is a Hybrid Tea rose or, as the Royal Horticultural Society prefers to call it, a large-flowered bush rose. The flowers of this variety are certainly large, with an unfortunate tendency (shared by many HT roses) to open into big purple blobs resembling loose cabbages. Beautifully pointy in bud though.

Blue Moon has an unusual scent to match the colour. I've seen it described as "a lemon scent", but I must say I disagree. It's a difficult scent to describe — maybe a bit like bubble gum.

Scentimental ™

Floribunda - Burgundy-red swirled with creamy white.
You might think stripes are a new-fangled thing. But it is the old rose heritage that brings the genetic stripping to this spicy scented new-comer. Each petal is as unique as a snowflake--some more burgundy-splashed-white, some creamed-swirled-red-all on the same vigorous plant. The old-fashioned form & fragrance may remind you of its stingy blooming ancestors. Yet the nearly continuous number of blossoms lets you know there's modern kinfolk in there, too. Distinctive clean quilted foliage

Hawaian

Description: Hawaiian Volcano Plants™ are distinctive plants which are planted and grown on hand selected volcanic cinder, blessed by a Kahuna (a spiritual leader of the Hawaiian community) to bring joy and prosperity to those who possess them. This particular volcanic mineral was produced during a 1955 eruption of Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii. Each rock is unique and original and provides an excellent habitat for growing exotic plants. These anthurium plants have been specially hybridized for use as houseplants due to their trouble free growing requirements. They will continue to flower with proper growing conditions and will hold their flowers for a long time. Their flamingo-pink flowers compliment their glossy, dark-green foliage.
