Well, that's good news....

The plant propagation class, which was to be taught by one of my most favorite people on staff here < /sarcasm > has been cancelled due to low enrollment. That makes this hwole upcoming semester look brighter.

I'm a REALLY happy camper now

Donna just ordered seed for nicotiana 'Perfume Deep Purple'. Be still, my beating heart. (No, that's not sarcasm, it really is a fine, fine thing. And it's purple, which is fine all by itself.)

While I'm plant geeking, I've got a few piccies for folks to take a gander at. These are all things we're trying to justify spending the greenhouse budget on:

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius and Amorphophallus titanum (a superstar in the plant geek world)--Donna already has Amorphophallus konjac, so we need these, too.

Alocasia 'Portodora' and Colocasia gigantea 'Thailand Giant Strain. I direct the viewer's attention to the potential heights as noted in the descriptions. Oooooo, really big plants.

And, because I am both perverse, and easily amused, Hosta 'Little Stiffy. Go read the blurb. I'll wait.

Funny, no? That was written by the morning speaker from the conference/trade show yesterday morning.
