Wild Tree Tobacco, Hollowheart. Related to Iochroma. Uncommon small to medium sized tree, growing 10 to 20 feet high. Soft bark is beige, corky with deep vertical ridges and fissures. Try growing orchids, tillandsias and other epiphytes on it's limbs. Very small ¼th inch bell-shaped scented white flowers clustered on branches are followed by tiny orange tomato-like inedible fruits that are popular with birds. Plant has anticancer properties, but no nicotine derivatives, as common name would suggest. Subtropical, it will survive brief frosts. We're not sure of it's landscape value, but it might be of interest to collectors. Native to Central and South America and the Caribbean. Solanaceae

	Iochroma 'Purple Prince' Code: 90310 Price: $10.95 Quantity in Basket: none
Iochroma 'Purple Prince' is another new interspecies hybrid between Iochroma australe 'Alba' and Iochroma cyaneum. It has dark purple buds which open to long grape purple flowers with a wide flare. Flowers are larger than either parent. It has the long tubular flowers of I. cyaneum with the flaring bell shape from I. australe. So far the blooming habit seems to be to put out long stems with a large cluster at the tip followed by smaller weeping side shoots with smaller numerous clusters. Although trainable, this variety is very prolific and strong growing so needs more space than it's siblings. More wide growing than tall, lush and full. Much more trainable than pure I. cyaneum, this type can be trained to be low and spreading or trained up to be a tall specimen. Although similar to Iochroma 'Royalty', 'Purple Prince' grows many times larger. Exclusive. (Thompson) Solanaceae

	Iochroma 'Princess' Code: 90302 Price: $10.95 Quantity in Basket: none
Iochroma 'Princess' is a new interspecies hybrid between Iochroma australe 'Alba' and Iochroma cyaneum. It has the flaring bell shape flowers and small growth habit from I. australe. 'Princess' has a lovely shade of medium pink flowers. They are short but open to very wide flaring bells. So far the blooming habit seems to be to put out long stems with a large cluster at the tip followed by a myriad of smaller weeping side shoots covered with smaller clusters that totally engulf the plant. Blooms all year but most heavily in summer as do most iochromas. Does not go dormant in winter. Much more trainable than pure I. cyaneum, this type can be trained to be low and spreading. Very rare color on a very versatile plant. Exclusive. (Thompson) Solanaceae

	Iochroma 'Queen' Code: 90303 Price: $10.95 Quantity in Basket: none
Iochroma 'Queen' is a new interspecies hybrid between Iochroma australe 'Alba' and Iochroma cyaneum. It has dark lavender pink buds which open to long lavender pink flowers that fade to pure pink. This is the closest an Iochroma has come to a true pink. Flowers are larger than either parent. It has the long tubular flowers of I. cyaneum with a slight flaring bell shape from I. australe. So far the blooming habit seems to be to put out long stems with a large cluster at the tip followed by smaller weeping side shoots with smaller numerous clusters. Flower color can be subjective in iochromas since they seem to change color with light intensity or duration. Much more trainable than pure I. cyaneum, this type can be trained to be low and spreading or trained up to be a tall specimen. Exclusive. (Thompson) Solanaceae
