        This  is a difficult one for me to answer. Do I
         really-really have to---OK--- My most showiest must
         be..... Sans. suffruticosa.

        Why would anyone want to attach the "ugliest"
        word next to the name anyway!

        What is considered rare in one area maybe quite common
         in another area. It will take some searching for what you are
         looking for.

> 4. The slowest growing.

        Since March 98, I have had one that is unknown
        variety, and looks very much like a tree.
        The dainty little thing stands less than 1.5"
        in height, less than 2" wide, and 10 leaves. All
        this time it produced less then 1/2 leave which
        brings the total to 10 and1/2 leaves minus. How
        slow can it get!  Any idea what it might be?

        Sans.. cylindrica patula currently takes 1st. place
        in this  category, stands  at 41 ins.

        See answer #4

      Sans. parva and aethiopica. Heavenly
      fragrance too.

      All, and hoping to add more.

       Sans patens.  This one always seems to be looking
       at their best.

> 10. The one most tolerant of shade.

      Sans. suspicata.  This one does well every where for
       me and does not seem to matter where I put it.

> 11. The ones you would recommend to a beginner.

         I still consider myself a beginner.  I seek answers
        where possible.  I recommend to all, do not stop at
        one sans., not even when you ran out of room, or
        your husband is threatening a divorce proceeding,
        then, maybe slow down just a bit.  Tell him your
        sans. does not snore at night and never complains
        about anything. And if he keeps it up you surely
        will  promptly notify SANTA about his total
        lack of cooperation. No big deal is it!;o]]
