Apart from Latin name and colour (if no photo) what sort of info do
people
think most important in a plant catalogue. I know it needs to be
informative but not too wordy, IMO!

Knowing that Ray produces ,lets say, more unusual plants and interesting
plants, some cultural instructions would be helpful and even perhaps a
"difficulty" index so people don't waste money buying something they have
no
hope of ever growing. On top of that a note of where they come from in
the
wild and the type of terrain helps growers understand the plant.
Put me on the mailing list. :-)

Thanks, Bob - more good input that I'll pass along. I can see we've a
long
way to go before we're ready for the off! Of course you'll be on the
mailing list - founder member! ;-) How's the Furcraea doing, or rather
how are its babies doing, if they survived?

Thanks.
Furcraea beddinghouseii...One has been outside in a large pot since the year
after Ray gave the two tiny offshoots to me, the other I've kept in the
greenhouse just in case. Neither has flowered yet.
Might plant the larger one (the one that's been outside) in the garden next
spring and just see what happens. I think I can find a sheltered spot, mind
you our M.lasiocarpa (Musa/Musella??) has grown so much this year it's
filling up that corner quickly.
