12232 QUERCIFELIX ZEYLANICUS POLYP CGH TERR PRICE: $ 18.00 "Oak Leaf Creeper" Dwarf fern from Ceylon with dimorphic fronds held very low and tight. Terrarium Fern--very slow growing; very shallow wiry roots; must have high levels of humidity and fibrous media. This gem is a collector's excuse to start a Wardian case.

30632 RAPHIDOPHORA PANAMA [SPECIES] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Marvelous corrugated/waffled deep green leaves closely set on scandent vine--unflowered, thus possibly a Epipremnum. "Panama Shingle Plant."

30396 RAPHIDOPHORA PINNATA [HORT/NYBG] ARAC TGH HP PRICE: $ 15.00 Extremely deeply lobed leaves resembling a palm more than its cousin, the Philodendrons, are produced in tight groups along the thick rambling scandent stem. Beautiful, quite distinctiive Aroid best presented on a mossed pole.

56794 RAPHIDOPHORA TETRASPERMA GINNYARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.50 WE ARE TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT OF THIS ITEM BECAUSE OF HIGH DEMAND. DO NOT ORDER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Also listed as Philodendron imbe Ginny, which it is not taxonomically. This "Mini Splitleaf Philodendron" has the appearance of a very miniature Monstera deliciosa. Nomenclature as "Ginny" may be shaky--but most emphatically attractive and remarkably easy to grow as a houseplant, whether allowed to cascade, clamber, or smartly climb a moss pole to most effectively flaunt its ability to "shingle" its individual leaves into an unbroken pattern of foliage; always a charmer. This is very slow for us to establish, so please do not order unless you are willing to extend us some lead time to establish "Ginny" before shipping it.

40863 REINECKIA CARNEA VARIEGATA LIL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.25 Outstanding carpeting "False Lilyturf" with short, ranked leaves striped bright ivory; vigorous Japanese clone with brick red flowers followed by berries. Green species form marginally winter hardy here in Zone 6--this is less hardy. A far more successful and gorgeous citizen of your cool greenhouse (need a groundcover under the bench?) or as a beautiful visual in a bulbpan on or near a bright chill winter window.

The Moses in the Bullrushes come in various sizes and color variations. Take a look at our variety below!

50523 RHOEO BERMUDENSIS [SPATHACEA NANA] COMM HP PRICE: $ 3.50 Tight multi-headed mounds of stiff short fleshy leaves blushed pinkish purple beneath, in tight whorls obscuring the stout stems.

50524 RHOEO [TRADESCANTIA] BERMUDENSIS VARIEGATA (PINK) COMM HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.25Hort: R. spathacea nana variegata. Bright pink and grapestained cream stripes on the short somewhat succulent leaves, hued pinkish purple beneath, which are tightly packed on short stout stems, quickly offsetting to form a colorful hemisphere. Easy short mounded houseplant as long as never exposed to chill. Now all Rhoeo are considered Tradescantia

50572 RHOEO [TRADESCANTIA] BERMUDENSIS VARIEGATA (GOLD) COMM TGH HD PRICE: $ 7.50 Very tidy multiheaded mounds of fleshy thickly overlapping foliage--each short thick leaf is irregularly striped a beautfiul golden ochre to pastel yellow, lovely with the purple blushed underleaf; NOT the pinkish cream striped cultivar.

58306 RHOEO [TRADESCANTIA] BERMUDENSIS SITAKE'S GOLD COMM TGH HD PRICE: $ 12.00 Very tidy multiheaded mounds of fleshy thickly overlapping blond hued foliage--each with its distinct stripes of amethyst and champagned green--accented beautifully by the violet blushed underleaf.. Yet another entry into the "Moses in the Bullrushes" tribe. The habit is larger than and lower profiled than the typical bermudensis cultivars.

50570 RHOEO SPATHACEAE [DISCOLOR] COMM TGH HP PRICE: $ 8.25 The large statured traditional "Moses in a Boat" or "Oyster Plant" so called for the open oyster shell shaped bracts from which peep the white spiderflowers--boat shaped bracts tucked between the thickly packed outthrust fleshy green leaves, purpled beneath. Now more correctly named Tradescantia spathaceae, but seldom so identified in any plant book or magazine article. This is the one grandma grew. We have included several pictures of a new variegated form, which may be available in a year or so. We thought you would like to see the variegated form. Not available yet. But it exists!

41081 RHOICISSUS THUNBERGII VIT HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Cinnamon Wheels" Leathery oval leaflets in wheels of three, with dull-gloss mahogany tops and bright cinnamon beneath, on compact clambering stems over tuberous roots. A winner with many serious caudiform and cascade bonsai fanciers as eventually the swollen tuberous roots can be exposed to great effect. Essentially an extremely ornate "Grape Ivy" cousin with a lot of potential gradually building beneath the soil level!

40868 RIVINIA HUMILIS PHY TGH HP PRICE: $4.25 "Rouge Plant" or "Blushberry" Pendant sprays of bright red shiny berries follow the spikes of starry white flowers. Always a favorite for the bright window pot; a novelity for winter greenhouse hobbyists. Newly "rediscovered" accent plant for the summer urn or windowbox. Even though this was a big hit in Victorian bedding; you can stump the experts today by introducing this red berried sweetheart into your summer plantings or combination containers. Some of the "newest" plants are the old Victorian reliables.

61714 RONDELETIA LEUCOPHYLLA [SPLENDENS: HORT]RUB TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Lovely rounded shrublet, the "Panama Rose" produces many clusters of rose pink tubular flowers; pairs of tidy papery leaves.Excellent conservatory or hobby greenhouse subject. We only ship this during the warm months of the year.

71152 ROSA SI ROS HH CGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Bonsai Rose" Minature short woody stems support congested puffs of impossibly tiny glossy leaves topped with very demure tinsy light pink windmill flowers. Popular with lightgardeners; creators of tiny magical bonsai, and trough gardeners.

50059 RUELLIA AMOENA [GRAECIZANS] ACAN HP TGH PRICE: $ 1.50 "Red Christmas Pride" Purple underleaf; scarlet pouch fls. Extremely vigorous and as popular now as in Victorian times when it filled that pre-poinsettia era with red blossoms at Christmas.

57504 RUELLIA BRITTONIANA CHI CHI ACA HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.75 Stiff slim leaves rank the dark erect stems topped with showy bright pink blossoms; does well as bog plant, thus the "Pink Kathy Water Ruellia"--or grow in your outdoor summer beds as a pink flowered "Texas Petunia" and it will perform and perform and perform.

52991 RUELLIA BRITTONIANA KATHY FERGUSON ACAN CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.25 A vigorous heavily-bloomed very dwar selection of the woody Mexican shrublet with tidy linear leaves & long showy lavender tubular fls maturing to a brilliant deep purple; Lynn Lowery's new selection is sometimes offered as 'Katie's Dwarf.' Does as well as an aquatic as it does as a regular container or bedding subject--various customers have noted that they have an antique or special undrained pot on their summertime deck which they do NOT want to risk drilling a drainage hole into; so: if you plant bog loving 'Kathy' in this undrained pot, she will thrive especially if a bit of water collects on top.

30864 RUELLIA BRITTONIANA STRAWBERRIES & CREAM ACAN CGH HP PRICE: $ 6.25 Purple blue flowers over the richly white speckled leaves, turning blush pink in full sun. Scott Reaves discovered this dwarf variegated sport which does well in semiaquatic conditions. Very popular with indoor litegardeners who sit this in a saucer of water and report that it blooms constantly under the tubes.

50060 RUELLIA COLORATA ACAN TGH CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Lobster Claw" Brilliant scarlet bracts color for Christmas and stay bright carmine several months; stout branched shrub of easy greenhouse culture. We are currently sold very low--please inquire before ordering.

55570 RUELLIA MACRANTHA PROSTRATE SELECTION ACAN HP CGH PRICE: $ 2.25 Softly mounding "Mexican Petunia" now used as a groundcover throughout the tropics, readily produces many upward facing rosy purple "Christmas Pride" blossoms on the downy foliage. Recently discovered by "Tropicals Outdoors" designers for summer boxes and urns for its ability to quickly fill in gaps and vigorously cascade over the lip of and container.

50061 RUELLIA MAKOYANA ACAN TGH CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Monkey Plant." Purple pendant flowers bloom freely on scandent handsome leaved low shrub.Brazil. Soft dark velvet leaves with vibrant silver veins. Trailing velvet plant.

40903 RUSCUS HYPOGLOSSUM LIL CGH HP HH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Butchers Broom" Erect stems taller than R. aculeatus ,with the leathery cladophylls (the leaf like branchlet bearing the reduced leaves and fls in their centers) larger and paler than those of R. aculeatus. Handsome. Reputed winter hardy to zone 7; although we doubt this--but this does suggest that this handsome clumper will flourish in that chilly winter indoor location in your house that only Aspidistra seem to favor. Turkish native bent on giving a primitive tone to a planting; always transforming into a piece of sculpture in a decorative pot.

57472 RUSSELIA EQUISETIFORMIS AUREA SCR CGH HP PRICE: $ 5.75 Beautiful "Golden Fountains" of pale buff yellow fls on the bizarre arching cascading stems. Not as vigorous as the species form and much harder to bloom.

40904 RUSSELIA EQUISETIFORMIS [JUNCEA] SCR HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 3.75 "Coral Fountain Plant" Gracefully arching fine rush-like glossy stems bear many scarlet red tubular flowers--a living "Firecracker Factory" in constant bloom with bright light. This has nearly endless uses in garden and container designs.

49436 RUSSELIA SARMENTOSA SCR TGH HP 5.50 An unusual "Red Firecracker" plant with tightly whorled bunches of petite bright red tubular flowers at every leafy node on gracefully wide arching stems; the salvia like leaves turn purplish in full sun with cooler temps. Easy in sun. (Although customers observe they've observed this species blooming heavily in the shade in Mexico.)
