LOL, Lin, IKR! I too need many more than one 'pink.' We're not most people, especially if what they say about most of the BBS ones being discarded when they finish blooming, like Poinsettias, is true. The two I got this year already blooming aren't 'my blooms' until next year (in my own mind) and may be the same as ones I already have, IDK.

Jacquie, more power to you (and those who 'need' the plants you have!) That sounds like awesome fun. If I was going to collect a ton of named plants, it would most likely be TCs/CCs. If I was going to try a plant business, same thing. So nobody online wants a plant that's just 'red' or 'yellow?' I did not know that, or even that there was a 'big thing' about named Schlums. I know folks get into that with Hostas or daylilies and as you well know, Coleus. What I need to know is where they put them all?! Wouldn't it be fun to have a greenhouse full of them, blooming in all different colors? Oh wait, I think you already do, but it's only a fantasy for me. Well hey, if we're fantasizing, let's go conservtory, right? Greenhouse is so... rustic and disconnected?

So now I'm curious after all this, do most of the plants in BBS really have cultivar names that are just missing - or is there a 'mutt' class of plants w/o names?

Here's the one I've showed before, just took this pic.

This other pot started blooming today. I can't tell if the pink ones in diff pots are exactly the same or not.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
