Plantaflor Air Plants
Kate Terrell, Wallace's Garden Center: We bought some really cool air plants and air plant accessories from Plantaflor. The air plant category is really growing for us.
Kelli Yeager, Achin' Back Garden Center: Loved the unique airplants — sea urchin shells with airplants coming out of the shell. I really like the unique way to display the airplant, too, I'm thinking it would be a cool Christmas ornament, especially for anyone near the beach.

Aquatic Planter Display From Netherland Bulb Co.
Kelli Yeager, Achin' Back Garden Center: I also really liked the pre-planted aquatic plants from the Netherland Bulb Co. They were in a floating basket, and there were carnivorous plants. Great idea for a pond with lots of bugs!

'Aloha Kona Yellow' from Dümmen Orange
"New hot and cold combinations of annuals by the seed companies have us reviewing our hanging basket mixes," says Valley View Farms' Carrie Engel. "[The rest of the plants in this gallery] are some of the plants that we are looking to add to next year's schedule. We saw them at either Landisville Trials, Cultivate, or both."
