Default Slc Hazel Boyd 'Yellow Orb'

Was Slc, now is Gsl. Hazel Boyd 'Yellow Orb'. Most everyone has or has seen
the red Hazel Boyd, which Fordyce says was the best cross he ever made
(until he made Sc (was Slc) Circle of Life.) But every now and again the
genes connect in different ways and we get yellows!

If I was a better grower it'd have flattened out more. This is one I almost
lost. The new growths kept turning black and damping off. I tried growing
it in straight 'gorilla hair' - another name for the common garden ground
cover made from redwood fiber - and it perked up a bit, but then I repotted
at the right time (as the new roots were emerging) and I was rewarded!

Attention to detail! That's what's needed!
