Just wanted to share with you some information for Don Mylin (SMG). Very exciting.


Hi Lynn- My best guess on the 'New Rhumba' is abt 2 weeks. I am thinking I might have some availability later in the spring on two new varieties which I have named 'Lush Life' and 'Poco Loco'. I don't have the photos handy at the moment, but 'Lush life' is a larger rosette which has year round interest and quite dramatic color changes. 'Poco Loco' is smaller & mostly of interest in the spring. It is a variegated in a sort of speckled way with red pigment on green leaves . The variegation fades with summer heat making them look quite ordinary for the remainder of the year. Probably the next ones after those (maybe next spring) are 'Lujon', 'Besame Mucho', and 'Sophisticated Lady', and the as yet unnamed tricolor. I've been working on the tricolor for 10 years now. It is very slow going.

Don
