I was fortunate enough to purchase a "Ladies in Waiting" at the ICPS
Convention at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens this past May. It is a very
nice plant, and it held up to the South Georgia heat very well. Just to
say that you own a plant that was cultivated by Rob Gardner and Larry
Mellichamp is worth much more than the $20.00, I wish now I had also
gotten the "Dixie Lace" also. Joe Cumbee
