Tentatively called ‘Itsy Bitsy Blue’, it grows much smaller than ‘Daubenyana’ and its more uniformly blue flowers contain fewer petals. I hope subsequent generations will also produce extremely dwarf plants. If size of the viviparous sprouts is any indication, this variety is what we seek. The plantlets are so tiny that they are difficult to handle and they easily succumb to algae.
An earlier incident with what we had hoped would be an extremely dwarf hardy white turned out to be simply a slow developer. That event diminished our optimism. We have had plants that stayed very small for a year or two before taking off. A "Pink Chrysantha" purchased last spring remained small enough to fit in a teacup until early fall. Even then it had a leaf spread of less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) but, assuming it is "Truly Named", I anticipate it will attain a leaf spread well over 24 inches (61 centimeters) next year. If 'Itsy Bitsy Blue' does not turn out to be the extreme dwarf we hope for, I will compost the plants. The world does not need a 'Daubenyana' wannabe to contaminate the gene pool.

of Australia. Presently Barre is involved in a study of the rare, endemic Little Aguja pondweed, Potamogeton clystocarpus, with fellow IWGS member Dr. Edward Schneider. He is also involved in the study of the North American dwarf waterlilies Nymphaea leibergii, N. tetragona, and all hybrids involving these two species. This work is being conducted with Drs. John Wiersema and Thomas Borsch. He is also working with Farmington College in Farmington, New Mexico on the aquatics of the San Juan River Basin.
Barre's other interests include the growing of species waterlilies, especially the Australians and the dwarf hardy species. He also has an extensive collection of flags from around the world, and enjoys traveling whenever possible. He is a member of the IWGS Hall of Fame and is a past member of the IWGS Board of Directors.

On another trip in 1973, Perry visited Gedye's Water Gardens in southern Australia. There he found two magnificent pink lilies, unflecked as were many of the pinks then available. Laurence Geyde told Perry that he was calling one of them N. 'Fabiola.' A floriferous dwarf plant, Perry imported it to North America.

or dwarf Banana, which grows only to the height of 6 ft. or 8 ft., produces in most years large bunches of fruit, (*2) which are (or should be) eaten by the Vice-Chancellor, the President of Magdalen, and the Professor of Botany. M. cavendishii
A specimen grown at Chatsworth was exported in a Wardian case to Samoa, whence in 1848 Mr. G. Pritchard distributed specimens to the Friendly and Fiji Islands in the Pacific (which were then stricken with famine), and with most successful result, since this dwarf Banana never fails to ripen its fruit.

Profile - Rich Sacher, 21/5/2007
The oldest of five children, Rich was born in the Bronx, NYC, where at five years of age his grandmother introduced him to the plant world by helping him plant some sprouting seeds from an orange they had cut open. After that, it was plants, plants, plants! Rich built his first concrete pond when he was a teenager, ordering tropical water lilies from Scherer and Sons in Long Island, NY. The rock garden surrounding the pond boasted over 100 different perennials, as well as a collection of dwarf conifers.
