I Simply Remember These Favorite Things, and then I Can Smile All Day.

Each year, ornamental plant breeders from around the world gather in California to demonstrate their new introductions which will find their way to garden centers, box stores, and other plant outlets. This year, I travelled with colleagues from a national magazine (Greenhouse Grower) from Los Angeles to San Jose, viewing new introductions from at least twenty flower breeders along the way.

We saw hundreds of beautiful annuals, perennials and shrubs and I had the difficult task of writing about those plants that truly caught my eye. Here are a few; I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the future.

Remember, these plants will not be on the market until next year, 2025.
