Because of the value of some of the things I grow I would prefer not to publish a list. I know a plant breeder who went shopping, came home and was missing some unique plants that were not recovered. One plant I am very fond of is an Operculicarya decaryi bonsai tree growing in a rock about 2 and a half feet tall. It is a desert tree that dwarfs easily with knarled, nobby bark. It is around 50 years old now. A favorite bulbous plant would be Paramongaia weberbaueri. It is an amaryllid from S American with yellow flowers. My Late partner was also a plant lover and he wanted me to grow as many seed plants as possible. So right now I just have several hundred species growing from seeds. But I hope to continue growing for a while yet-Russ H. In a message dated 4/5/2013 5:30:46 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, zigur@hotmail.com writes: Botanic gardens are good sources for rare plants?! Hahahahah! I can think of plenty of unobtainable plants. Russ, what rare plants do you grow?
