 By
way of introduction, my name is Rick Sorenson and I am President/Owner
of Pride of Place Plants Inc., . We represent plant breeders from
throughout the world who are involved in the breeding of woody plants,
vines, perennials, conifers, and small trees.
These
individuals are generally small operators of wholesale nurseries from
throughout the world, the one thing they all have in common is that
their efforts originated with the criteria in mind to enhance the home
gardeners, gardening experience.
Pride
of Place Plants Inc., was established as a result of watching and
understanding the industries that make their living by providing us
with New Products The Automobile Industry, the Fashion Industry, the
Hi-Tech Industries (medical, computer, telecom etc.,) the Music
Industry and so on.
Sectors
of the horticultural industry have relied on New cultivars to enhance
food production for example and the Rose growers, Bedding and Floral
crop sector has indeed captured our attention.
The
Nursery Industry, that is the growers of woody plants, be it flowering
shrubs, perennial plants, vines, conifers or small trees seemed to
have been left out of this promotional push to advance New Products.
Whos
creating these New Cultivars and where are these people?
After
divesting my interests in the daily operations of a Wholesale Nursery,
a Garden Center and a Land Reclamation Company, I followed a strong
viewpoint that the professional Nursery Trades could benefit from
contact with plant breeders from throughout the world. They were
producing products through carefully considered criteria with the best
interests of the home gardener in mind, therefore creating a situation
of success through breeding and creating an enhanced garden
experience.
The
plants within the content of the ICanGarden.com web-site list are not
to be intended as the extent of the New Plant Products that we will
offer, only a list of plants we currently manage for Breeders in the
North American marketplace. There will be more, and those that follow
need to be and should be in the home gardens of North America.
We
believe these cultivars will be important to the nursery trade and of
great benefit to the home gardens of North America.
Sincerely
Rick Sorenson

Salix integra 'Flamingo' USPP
#17490, COPF |
Flamingo,
is a much improved cultivar ,as the leaf branches and
foliage are much stronger and leaf scorch not a problem as
in Hakuro Nishiki'
The
foliage is spectacular deep pink/red in Spring and retains
strong color throughout the growing season. Flamingo
produces a beautiful range of contrasting colors for
addition to your garden. Can be a lovely hedge of single
bush.
