Re: Seriously weird

Thanks for the information. I'm intrigued that Parsonsia is little known over
here when it's so popular in NZ. I'm now looking forward to acquiring it even
more!

On Pseudopanax, & referring to a point Paul Spracklin makes in his posting on
scheffleras, I've not visited Logan garden in SW Scotland since this last,
colder-than-average winter, but there was a very sizeable specimen of
Pseudopanax arboreus growing at the top of the steps on their castle terrace.
An incredibly handsome foliage plant and totally different to the
ferox/chathamicus/crassifolius alliance. Incidentally, here in the UK these
plants have only recently become popular, so all the ones I've seen have
juvenile foliage. What are they like in maturity? - I know they're totally
different in appearance then.
