Nursery contributed plant descriptions

So you don't like big cups (actually you are not alone, Kinky gardeners prefer dark nipples, in fact they almost cleaned us out) but just in case there was something in the name that turned you off (mental images of sagging even if they are way up firm and high when young) we managed to find the perfect substitute in the Mt. Tahoma catalog. Tiny dense domes that wouldn't even fill an 'A' cup, the perfect handful of gray foliage tastefully adorned with little pink things held firmly erect, flowers of course.
