Lynn love that sedum with the Iris! Hurray!
Pia your plants look great! Hurray!

Here is a reply that I received from Don at SMG regarding new introductions - some exciting things coming, he didn't include pictures, I will see if he has any photos yet - once that happens I'll create a new thread for these and give the link on this thread. I am really curious about the variegated one he writes about = 'Brillante' Thumbs up

Regarding the new plants for 2016- I have 3 that I am reasonably sure that I will be able to release. These are 'Emerald City', a green one, with solid leaves and very nice emerald color esp. in winter.
'Equinox' another one with hard leaves. Turns an excellent green/copper color in mid-summer that I really like. Darker in winter.
'Brillante', the long awaited release of this variegated beauty. The best variegated one that I know of.
'Money Jungle' is a small tightly-clustered purple. I am not certain whether I am actually going to keep this one or not. I may grow it on for another season just to satisfy myself.

Also have 3 others that I am still looking at, but may not have sufficient quantities to release.
'Penumbra' is a large dark rosette with offsets on very long stolons.
'Dainty Dish' is, I think, an outstanding Semp. with two-tone color in summer and attractive dark in winter. Year-round interest. The name has nothing to do with the physical size of the plant.
'Sheba' which has similar characteristics as 'Dainty Dish' but is a different color.
I most likely won't have enough of these for 2016. Beyond that I have probably another half dozen that I haven't assigned a name to as yet.
I tip my hat to you.
