IDuring
2004
GMPRO
looked at the
Ultimate Greenhouse and its various components.
This year we put the spotlight on the real stars of the floral industry -- the
plants. We will focus on the Rising Stars, those up-and-coming plants that are
growing in popularity among growers and consumers.
To determine
which plants are Rising Stars, the editorial staff of
GMPRO
surveyed plant breeders, specialty propagators and commercial growers to find
out which plants they predict will increase in demand. The votes were tabulated
and we’re ready to present the results throughout 2005.
Starting this
month,
GMPRO
presents the plant that was voted by industry experts to be No. 12. In the
February issue, we’ll reveal No. 11, and so on, until we get to the December
issue when we will announce the No. 1 Rising Star.
We’d like to
hear from you in regards to which plants you think will be your Rising Stars.
We’ll tabulate the results and at the end of the year we’ll let you know which
plants received the most votes from our readers. Send your plant choices to
GMPRO
editor David Kuack at
dkuack@branchsmith.com or fax (817) 882-4121.
Who will be
the Top 12 Rising Stars? Stay tuned to
GMPRO
for the winning plants.
