Probably not -- but there are a few there that I would LOVE to have. If I got one I would have to keep it potted because I'd be afraid of putting it out in the yard the first year for fear that something would happen to it. And I did just purchase XYLOPHONE JAZZ, one of their new Fall 2011 introductions, and I've reserved another Fall 2011 introduction that I'll get in the spring, LITTLE SURFER GIRL. Karen wanted to hold off on that one because she wants more growth on the smalls before they release them. And one thing I must say about Floyd Cove Nursery is that you get large fantastic plants with great root systems, never just a single fan when you purchase a new introduction -- usually two or three fans at least; and for every new introduction you purchase they give you another as a bonus plant -- so I'm impressed! They gave me LAKE CHAMPAGNE as my gift plant on the order I just received, and it was a large single fan rather than a double. But this is the first single fan I've ever received from them. So I know I will be purchasing more from them in the spring. That's where I got the most gorgeous BASS GIBSON from their General Listing this last spring -- a triple fan for less than I see single fans going for on the Lily Auction! And I also got my SPACECOAST IRISH ILLUMINATION, my favorite yellow, from them for half the cost I was seeing elsewhere! And Karen is absolutely wonderful to work with too! So I'm very enthusiastic about Floyd Cove -- I just have to save up now!
