Don't add it on my account. I didn't use it initially. They omitted the karwinskia and only listed the plant as M. nejapensis on the label. I have confidence issues with the labeling from the mass market. I expect more specialized sources to be more accurate. I don't have a problem growing their plants because some are really nice, but the assigned name is not always accurate in my experience. If 'Silver Arrows' could be linked to a hybridizer and official registration then it would be nice to have it in the database. If not, well......... I suppose when a plant gets into commercial distribution under a name, it's probably a good thing to have it listed - but not on my part.
