Evergreens?

[Nigel Black]

I'd like to suggest another plant forum: Evergreens.

Otherwise where do we put Hollies (Ilex spp.) Camellias, Gardenias, Pieris,
Boxwood (Buxus spp.) and the like? I know that someone will say some of these belong
in the flowering category but then I'd have that I could generate a much longer list
of evergreen plants not neccesarily grown for their blooms.

...Ligustrum, some Conteaster, Euonymus, blah, blah , blah....

Let me think about this one a bit. I think I would group the Camellias and Gardenias with Azaleas down in "flowering" since that is the primary characteristic for which they are known. But I hear you with boxwood, euononous, cotoneaster. I think for the short term I will expand the "Other" category to make sure it includes these. If it turns out that we get enough interest/traffic that they warrant their own forum, it will be very easy to split them off.
