These pictures are from a closed group. Some of these things are unreleased material from breeders.
I can't even begin to cover what gets posted there but I am seeing some amazing things. Makes me miss school and the connections to the few people who really loved plants and knew their stuff.
Enjoy.

There are many water lilies being bred and posted but this deep color really stood out as unique. I don't know the name, sorry Attachments:

This common redbud (Cercis canadensis) cultivar I really like. It's called 'Rising Sun'. This is the color of the new growth in spring. Another similar one called Hearts of Gold is said to hold its color better but lacks the orange and has more a lime green appearance later in the season (like 'golden oregano' or gold dwarf barberries).

Little info with this but it is a segregating group of pitcher plants from a cross (Sarracenia spp.?) Look at those deep purple ones! Ooooh Aaaaah! Attachments:
