What good is the enormous "selected cultivars" list? (And does this imply that some names were actually left out???) In reality only a very few of these are commercially available. I would suggest deleting the entire list except for those few that are well-known or widely grown.
The "selected cultivars" listed are not all of the 650 plus cultivars available worldwide. Many deciduous cultivars are available in Europe where as it is the evergreen varieties which are predominant in Australia and New Zealand. What is widely grown in one country is not necessarily available in another country so why delete any at all. Maybe it should be added to listing which cultivars are available on each continent.
- That doesn't answer my question: what does the list add to the article, except for the fact that there are lots and lots of cultivars in this group? Where and how can I get more information on any particular name? Where does this list come from? How accurate is it? How reliable is it? Are any of these names synonyms of others, are all of them "good" cultivars, are any extinct? I am skeptical of all such lists (even lists of species under genera) unless they are sourced and at least somewhat verifiable. MrDarwin 14:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Many of the cultivars are available from Hoyland Plant Centre in South Yorkshire UK website http://www.somethingforthegarden.co.uk/catalogue.pdf San Marcos nursery in California USA website http://www.smgrowers.com/search/basesearch.asp?strSearchText=agapanthus Pine Cottage Plants in UK website http://www.pcplants.co.uk/PlantShop/browse/index.cfm Beeches Nursery in UK website http://www.beechesnursery.co.uk/ Maleny Agapanthus and Clivia in Australia Website http://malenyagas.com.au/ Pine Mountain Nursery in Australia Website http://www.pinemountainnursery.com.au/category12_1.htm A good website with information on agapanthus is http://www.agapanthus.org.uk/uk/agapanthusfreunde.html If you really want good information on Agapanthus get the book Agapanthus A revision of the Genus by Wim Snoeijer ISBN 0-88192-631-0 21 March 2006
I've deleted the list (to see it look in the history) because it looks HORRIBLE. A good idea would be to make a separate page and LIST them out. Having them how they used to be is pointless.
