Yes, please send list - you are right, I will understand it.  I bought a
black-stemmed hydrangea at the meeting of the Hardy Plant Society about
8-9 years ago in Vancouver - it was lovely - yum!  Alas, they will not
bloom for us here because they bloom on old wood and we never have any
without herculean effort here.  Now any unusual paniculatas you might
have ....  I also picked up a Hakuro Nishiki willow top-grafted standard
this year, and we'll see about its hardiness.  I'll wait on the
brewerianas until I see your list.  Am currently looking for Cham. pis.
plumosa 'Rogers', Abies alba 'Green Spire', Pinus korensis 'Glauca',
Taxus x media 'Sentinalis', Tsuga can. 'Pomfret' aka 'Hiti' and T. can.
'Macrophylla', among others.  Thanks, Beth
