Dan Hinkley recently wrote about a plant (Neiusia alabamiana) in
Horticulture mag of which there were only a few populations. This
Appalacian species has survived the ice age and when discovered in the 1800s
there were thought to be only 2 populations, one of which was later
destroyed. New populations of possibly another species of this
thought-to-be-single-species-genus have been discovered out west. Anyway,
the reason I brought it up is that they are thinking that, because it
suckers, that that entire eastern population they found, might actually be a
single plant.

Speaking of which, someone asked me
the other day how many plant were in my front garden. I was completely
dumbfounded- how on earth would I know? I have as many as I couple
possibly fit there. Does anyone acually know how many plants are in
their garden?
Hi Theresa,

I don't know off-hand, but I can easily find out. I try to keep all
of my plants in a database so that I know where they are, when they
were purchased, and how much they cost.

The tricky part is defining 'plant'. I have a whole bed of
Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (leadwort) that came from a 4" pot.
Is that one plant? :)

This is one of the features that I hope to add to hort.net, although
a lot of people have told me that they wouldn't find it useful.
Personally, I find it invaluable when Romeo tears a plant label
out of the ground.
