"after trawling through many websites looking for the specific secies and varieties I wanted I was delighted to find your site. I was impressed that a search by latin name produced results - most other plant websites do not do this, they seem to use "product codes" so you have to find what their code for your desired product is before searching for it - rather counterproductive. I was highly impressed with your range of plants."
