To paraphrase a fellow plant enthusiast: 'My name is Barry and I am a plant hoarder! For me the act of collecting has become somewhat of an obsession. I surround myself with plants on a near daily basis for nine out of twelve months. The remaining three months are spent doing exactly this! Creating wishlists - for myself first and foremost, but also for my loyal clients and fellow plant enthusiasts.The new catalogues are making their way in the post, or are being uploaded to my favourite websites. The frantic sound of pen scratchings against paper fill the air. 'Now where did I put that list?' That is the one simple reason behind the creation of this page. This year I have decided to include photographs wherever possible.
Paris polyphylla [Thimble Farms/Plant Delights]
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Dark Beauty'
Epimedium grandiflorum var. violaceum 'Bronze Maiden' [Lost Horizons]
Epimedium youngianum 'Tamabotan' [Thimble Farms]
Anemonella thalictroides 'Cameo' [Need to guarantee that I maintain an inventory. Last year's plant was very small and delicate!]
Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy
** This page will increase and decrease according to the number of plants that I locate and the number of plants that pique my interest in the coming garden season. Stay tuned!**

I know you love many Thalictrum. I noticed that Lost Horizons is showing a new one for 2012 called "Anne". Do you know much about this particular variety?
Have you seen Anemonella 'Diamant'?
It's available at Free Spirit Nursery (B.C.)
Looks very nice.
