Spring 2011 Project - Plant Suggestions

[Jennyfleur]

Hi everyone,
Gee, it's a lot harder than I thought to find plants that are available both sides of the pond (so to speak!)

Anyways, here's one suggestion:
OEONIELLA polystachys

IOSPE:

Oak Hill Gardens - OH $18

Nardotto e Capello Shop - NC 12.50 Euros (Flowering size), 14 Euros (with spike)

It has lovely curly white flowers and, as a bonus, is fragrant

I don't mind allowing it in, but if most people think we should stick to species we can do that.

i personally dont have a problem with it, although it isnt my favorite out of the list so far. so i wouldnt vote for it in the poll, but i certainly wouldnt care if it were on the poll. and if people choose it, ill get that too.
