The "Hot and Cold" List of Buffalo Horticulture 2016

​​The "Hot and Cold" list began back just before Gardenwalk at the end of July. I think its inspiration was the Purple Cone Flower which was beginning to bloom - EVERYWHERE. Yet, Caitlin and I had just taken a ride out to the greenhouses and were in love with all the "fun and new" Echinacea - although, still not fun enough to make the hot list.
​This list that follows has no intention of making some objective representation of what is actually trending in the market right now. This is purely a subjective list of what has been capturing my attention and repelling me.

​I would totally love some dialogue on this. (Insert Happy Face Emoji)

​You will need to look these up on your own if you don't know them. See it as an exercise.
