These are:

• Iris unguicularis 'Kilbroney Marble'
• Phlox paniculata 'Grey Lady'
• Heuchera 'Burgundy Frost'
• Helianthus X multiflorus 'Plenus
• Papaver orientale 'Khedive'
• Perovskia 'Blue Haze'
• Primula 'Barbara Midwinter'

Has anyone got one of these in their garden?

In the next few months I intend to propagate these plants, and then next year to invite members to take one of the plants, to plant in their garden and then hopefully divide or use cuttings to produce more plants to give to other members or friends.

Multiplication by seeds is not to be used to ensure the new plants are true copies of the old.

There is also a simple log sheet to fill in.

If any members are interested in being involved, please have a word with me later.

A very important aspect of the scheme is that we search out some plants which are endangered, in order to propagate them and distribute them to other area groups through the Conservation Scheme. If any member knows of any plants we could introduce into the scheme will they also talk to me. These may include:

• A genus for which there is no national collection;
• Plants associated with a local family house, local dignitary, local literary connections;
• Fashionable plants of the 20's, 70's or when we were children;
• Members who have a plant in need of conservation. 

I trust you will reflect on these comments and offer suggestions either this evening or at another meeting.

Details of his cross and origin of the cultivar name were given by John Fielding (1992) in the Quarterly Bulletin of the Alpine Garden Society, Vol. 60, No. 4, December, p. 411. Rudbeckia 'Starcadia Razzle Dazzle' 2006     Schizostylis 'Peer Gynt' 2006 Several HPS NW members are also propagating this plant generously donated by a local group member. We believe that the plant, bought at a local plant sale many years ago, originally came from a trial at RHS Wisley and was subsequently given the name 'Peer Gynt'. It is not in Plant Finder.
