Gina how many hedys do you have?


Gosh I have them all over. You know I actually met Daniel Weeks. There was a guy here who used to have a nursery way out on this dirt road outside of town years ago. He sold mainly gingers, agaves, and elephant ears. He had some younger guys who worked on the place and one was Daniel Weeks. Daniel actually hybridized that plant so it got named after him. He used to sell them in person at the local plant sales. Tom Wood also lives around here, I have been to his place but its been a very long time ago.

I have Daniel Weeks, Pink V, Elizabeth, Clown Suit, Dr. Moy, Dr. Moy 'Improved' (aka Tropic Ice), Luna Moth, Coronarium, Gardernarium, Greenii, Ayo, Anne Bishop off the top of my head. I used to have some of the more unusual epiphytic hedychiums in the greenhouse but they were lost in the Great Greenhouse Heater Debacle some hears ago. (My propane heater flamed out almost set the place on fire on a 20F night. )
