Some of Keith's beauties

I was visiting Keith's yard yesterday and fortunately remembered to bring my camera. Wasn't really planning on taking any photos, but it was hard to resist a few. Here's some for you: The first is a Keith Hanks hybrid. I posted it in the past, but it shows even better color here. It's named Freak Show. I need to keep a space open in my garden just in case he releases this in the future. A girl's gotta hope.

Next is his beautiful Cornelius Halgrim showing great color right now, and George Zammas' hybrid named Lyanna Rose. I understand it's named after his daughter? Anyone know for sure? It's also a gorgeous croton.

Yes, we are lucky, Lamar. Yours is gorgeous. It's a fantastic cultivar. I'm so glad George introduced it. Gotta see more of George's stuff. Hey George.........

Mark, I think it's an oak leaf. My understanding is that when a plant is still young, it frequently shows semi-oak leaves even if it is an oak leaf. As it matures, the oak leaves start coming. Not true for true semi-oaks, of course. Please correct me if I'm wrong, folks.
