    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From our friend and plantsman guru John Flintoff comes this selection of Epimedium grandiflorum. Attractive bronze patterned new growth mingles with the copiously produced white flowers for a fine display. John named this for his mom which gives some clue as to its worth. He got along great with his mom, by the way.
