I can't begin to find a favorite... it's whatever is in bloom at the moment. I have gotten totally hooked on species... Alas the local species club folded (not enough people to do the work, and also only a very few who really have the passion) so I've kept it going online. There is one other person who contributes lots to the blog, who also grows outside in similar conditions so we do a lot of idea-trading.
I really like going to those Andy open houses where I can wander around and see what grows where. (If it is in an open shade house, I know that it'll work in my outdoor area as well... and Andy's "full sun" is milder than my "full sun" because he has a lot of trees and I don't, something I learned the hard way) He's not great at answering emails so be persistent... but if there's a particular species that isn't on the website, ask specifically because the website has maybe 10% of what he has)
