A pure white form of the Eastern US native dwarf crested Iris selected by Don Jacobs. This Angel is one of life rather than death rising up to the diminutive heavens in late Spring. Likes a moist shady woodland home and will softly spread it's angelic wings to form a nice clump in time. 

This seemingly non-existent in cultivation species of Mexican holly was collected by FRBC board member Cody Hinchliff in Oaxaca. Glossy evergreen leaves one often expects from a holly, these emerge a rich wine red in these plants that's highly attractive followed by glossy red berries. Growing as a tight rounded shrub of only about 5 feet in a sub-alpine zone that stays fairly moist and under full sun (Though the herbarium sheets suggest it may get larger in different conditions). Hardiness likely somewhere around 7b or 8a, will likely thrive in the Southeast, we are hoping it fares well in the wet PNW winters as well.
