Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Collected by my personal hero, Roy Lancaster near the Black Sea, this is reason enough to grow this plant. All the current plant gurus could learn a thing or two from Roy. Love of plants first and last. Personal aggrandizement not a consideration. Yellow flowers, evergreen, takes dry.
