I'm always behind in plant fads/trends and the latest "must have" plants offered.
Generally, in the plant world, anything cool, unusual, for shade, or variegated is astronomically priced, so generally far too expensive for me to enjoy. When I do find something cool or unusual, I tend to buy small and let things grow to save money.
One easy trick I have used for some variety in the garden is to incorporate "yellow" plants. There are many easily affordable plants with beautiful yellow foliage and they really do pop in the flower beds. On a cloudy evening like last night when I took these pictures, they still shine.

First, Thank you so much for bringing so many lovely plants to the plant swap. I am in heaven! Secondly, yes, let us stand and cheer yellow foliage. Like you, I love a pop of yellow in my gardens. I am particularly enamored by this Choisya ternata 'Sundance' you've listed. Really cool variations of gold. Cheers, Jenni
