I have loads of photos but had to limit my choice. I picked a few of my own seedlings but mainly well known introductions and especially things that I think are far too little known and deserve better. (Francois Verhaert's Website: http://www.eurocallis.com)
TED CZAICKI - Future below is a seedling, to be registered, in fond memory of a dearly missed friend in Birmingham, UK.
