Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This and the above plant are from Pete's late uncle Teddy Kordus' New Jersey nursery. They came to us marked C. lawsonia and may well be. We have them off to our expert for ID on the species. They were clearly different from each other and clearly different than anything we've seen in the trade. (We originally called this 'Kordus Silver Feathers' but since that nursery is no longer in business and we're introducing this to the trade, 'LSS Silver Feathers' seemed a better name.)
