I have just spent the last 2 hours reading all the posts in this forum. Finally, people who share my love of heucheras, yipee! My family just roll their eyes and start to glass over when I mention heucheras. Although, I will give my mom credit in that she is starting to fall in love with them too
It all started with palace purple and a pond in shade. I was told a pond in shade would never work and I would never find that many interesting plants to put in shade. After researching on the net and making a list, I began to lust after heucheras. The lust grew and became an all consuming must have them all passion. It is so bad, I actually compiled a list of all the named cultivars that exist. Spent many a nights working on that one. Now in the spring, when the new ones are released I am compelled to update the list. I think I need to get out more. My addiction is soo bad, I went to a nursery auction just to get heucheras (gypsy dancer and velvet night are the ones I came home with)
I found this forum after trying to identify 3 plants I picked up at Home depot that did not have tags. I actually got 4 but caramel was named. I am in awe of all the beautiful photos I have seen posted here. I am also feeling an urge to attempt growing some from seed (I think my family will take away my gardening priviledges if I do
).Off the top of my head, the ones I have so far are:
-palace purple
-Dales Strain
-Amber Waves (huge disappointment, never got any bigger that a couple of inches. Although, I noticed the other day that the 2nd one suddenly grew a few leaves beside Lime Rickey)
-Lime Rickey x 2 (grows really well for me)
-Petite Pearl Fairy
-Obsidian
-Velvet Night
-Gypsy Dancer
-Gingerale
-Silver Scrolls
-Autumn Haze
-Ring of Fire
-Peach Flambe
-Strawberry Swirl
-Crimson Curls
-Sparkling Burgundy
-Plum Pudding
-White Marble
-Marmelade
-Creme Brulee
-Caramel
-Frosted Violet
-Had Amethyst Mist but a squirrel decided she liked the purple ones and stole my neighbors and started on mine. She only got that one (stole the whole plant right out of the planter. Came home to find a few leaves trailing to the back tree )
-Pewter Veil
and 3 unnamed varieties.
There are others but I cant think of the names right now (as I mentally stroll throught the garden).
Topping my list of must haves is definately mardi gras after seeing the photos of it. Of course, they all are on the list of must haves. So far this year, I have bought sparkling burgundy, peach flambe, gingerale (really, really like this one), gypsy dancer, velvet night, caramel, the 3 unmarked ones, and am contemplating picking up dolce liquorice, mocha mint and creme de menthe.
I also have several heucherellas and tiarellas and have discovered brunneras as well.
I look forward to spending time here (although my wallet might not thank me).

And that's probly a good thing. LOL 
Welcome to the forums!!
Only problem is I started and saved the list on my computer at work. We are switching computers at work and not everything got transferred (my list being one of them). I am hoping I have it saved on a disk but wont know til I go back to work next week. I havent found a heuchera society yet but be careful this is how the addiction starts. I have had Lucs site book marked for awhile.
