Here is a new and updated list that I think you'll love!

Some notes: I ship using Priority Mail boxes. Shipping is a flat $5 for small orders, $10 for larger orders. (A small order is up to 8 plants.) I always include extras just because. Canadian customers are welcome, it will just be a little more involved.



MONSTER Lily! Crinum sp. X hybrid - These are awesome! Huge clusters of huge white (or rarely purple) flowers. $2.50 each, 10 for $20.

Rose of Sharon - Lavender flower - Hibiscus syriacus - Gorgeous bushy plant or tree (Can be trained either) Or used as an amazing bonsai. Seedlings $1.50, 10 for $10. Older saplings available at $15.

Fortune's Chinese Plum Yew - Cephalotaxus fortunei - VERY RARE! These SCREAM Bonsai potential. Older seedlings - approx 1' x 1' $35 (Price went up due to their getting larger!)

Golden Rain Tree - Koelreuteria paniculata - An amazing small tree with gorgeous flowers. These form wild trunks and bark for those who want to do a bonsai. $4.50 each, 3 for $12.

White Pine Tree - These make for gorgeous large trees, or even more gorgeous bonsai. Their needles are oh-so-soft. Just very nice trees to work with. Older seedlings $1.50 each, 5 for $5.

Red Mangroves - Rhizophora mangle - Awesome for aquaria, terraria, vases, anything that holds water. Your toilet tank? LOL... Seriously though, these grow crazy roots and aerial roots (over the years) $4.50 each or 3 for $12.

Greenhead Coneflower - MONSTER PLANT!!! This thing gets huge! My mother plant is flowering now, and the flowering bracts tower 8'!! Offering young plants for $9.50 each.

Society Garlic - WAY COOL! Not a true garlic, but the leaves are grayish green and it flowers with dainty lavender trumpet shaped flowers. Very pretty. Young clumps offered at $6.50, 2 for $10.

Perennial Sunflower - bushy plant, huge leaves, flower stalk up to 4' - Yellow flowers about 2 to 3 inches across. Young plants $5.50 each

Rhododendron fortunei - EXTREMELY RARE PLANT!!!!!! Only two here, offering only one (Don't really want to sell it, but if it sells, so be it.) Approx 1.5' $250.

Boxwoods - These are AWESOME!!!!!!!! Chinese, Japanese, and English - all mixed. They make amazing hedges, rows, bonsai, specimen plants... they are one of the most versatile trees/shrubs out there. Some people do not like their smell - it's a pungent odor, but most people like it. Just a heads-up. Offering seedlings and young plants for $4.50 each, 3 for $10. Older saplings available for $20. Three older ones for $50.

Canna - Purple stem, Purple leaves, orange flower! Just dug up (and re-planted in pots) so the leaves are cut off, but growing new shoots from the corm (root) - Quite striking! $3.50 each

Canna - Green leaves/stem, Red flower - Only two. $6 for both.

Ajuga - Amazing groundcover - The newer leaves are green, but turn purple. (Not the petite variety) You can walk all over it! Nice clump for $4.50

Chinese Fringe Trees - Chionanthus retusus - WOW!!!! This is a rare find. The fruits are PURPLE! The bark and trunk are awesome for Bonsai too. These are seedlings - Never before available and in short supply. $12.50 each

CHINESE Coffee Tree - Gymnocladus chinensis - One of the rarest yet! I know of ONLY ONE TREE in this country. I am offering a VERY FEW seed-pods (They are still green, and are drying out.) This is a novelty, but you will be able to plant the seeds (This has NEVER been available before, as the ONE tree has only just had it's first fruit, ever) so I don't even know how many seeds are inside. Probably four to six. I will sell only two seed pods. The rest I will hopefully get seeds from and plant. $40 each.

Chinese Parasol Tree - Firmiana simplex - Rarely offered, rare tree - Huge velvety leaves - Would make an amazing centerpiece and unique center of attention, or a very interesting bonsai. Well- started seedlings - $15. each

Much more in the works - just not quite ready yet.


Here are some SEEDS - just something different :)

Golden Rain Trees - 20/$2
Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioicus) 10/$2
Chinese Parasol Tree 10/$2
Mimosa Tree 50/$2
Paw Paw - all that I have (20??) $2
Persimmon - all that I have (20??) $3
Red Buckeye - 5/$2
Yellow Buckeye - 3/$2
Bottlebrush Buckeye - 3/$2
 
Now offering oranges of the very rare "Flying Dragon" variety of the Hardy Orange (Poncirus trifoliata) This is a very attractive plant for bonsai, and is winter hardy to Boston!!!!!!! (I would protect them though with harsh weather.) This variety grows contorted stems, WILD!
Each fruit (Ping pong size, FUZZY) is almost full of seeds as opposed to just fleshy. I've gotten 20 seeds out of one fruit!
You can buy one of these fruits for $5.00 and grow the seeds yourself.
 
(If you don't like growing seeds, I am growing out some babies already - these will be available shortly.)
 
Oddball - Which ones would you like pics of? (For anyone else, pics upon request)

Peanut Power - Aquatics are definitely cool!
 
I am sure you know about the mangroves, which are "rootly aquatic" lol

I think what I will do is post a pic gallery on here for each plant to make it easier for viewing pleasure.
 
Bump for some awesome stuff!

I hope you can post pics of the ACTUAL plants being offered. Not simply adult generic pics.
