I'm a REALLY happy camper now

treeskinDonna 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.
