Well, there are so many. I use a lot of them when I'm doing floral designs for clients here in LA/ Beverly Hills area. Callas simple common and yet one of the most elegant flowers out there. Hippeastrum, Dutch hybrids are not on the top of my list except for floral design work. In the garden, a huge bed of the older varieties still is a show stopper in full bloom. I'm hopefully getting parodii seeds (by the thousands) in very soon. That will replace any new garden installations when they are big enough. Ipheion 'Alberto Castillo' - stunning is all that I can say. Lilies, any of them, Casablanca, White Stargazers, all the spp. etc. I plant them in masses each year. More is never enough <G> (well, for me at least) Hymenocallis, I have to agree that they are quite unusual and really a great focal point when in bloom. Amaryllis bell. any of several white ones from Hathor to the mix we all got from Les Hannibal years ago. People notice them because we are used to seeing the common pink ones. I wish I could say Eucharis but since I have never been able to get it to bloom or even grow, I can't include it. Narcissus 'Mount Hood' and 'Thalia' are perpetual repeaters in OH and have increased over the years to form nice colonies as apposed to many of the other yellow "heirloom" or "naturalizing" varieties. Crinum pedunculatum. It is my favorite Crinum overall. I love the form of the plant and the regal spidery flowers. The fragrance is also purty darn nice. Tulipa 'Maureen' is the best long stem white tulip. It is really regal in the garden and looks great all by itself in a clear glass vase. I just planted 500 fall of '03 so we will see what they do next spring. They were in a pretty well drained soil that gets fairly dry during summer. Time will tell. I'm sure there are a few but I can't think of any at the moment. ===== John Ingram in L.A., CA. http://www.floralarchitecture.com/ check it out Floralartistry2000@yahoo.com 310.709.1613 (cell, west coast time, please call accordingly.
