A friend of mine named Lesley recently passed away and I'm hoping to find a plant with her name. Has anyone ever heard of a plant with a cultivar 'Lesley'? If not, can you think of a book or website I could check? I've Googled every word combination I can think of with no luck. Thank you!!

If you don't happen to like the plant, "Lesley's rimmed lichen," you could do what I did when my stepdaughter was killed. If you know or can find out what her favorite flower was, plant one in her honor. I have a beautiful peach colored rose in a very special little garden that I planted in Jennifer's honor. So sorry for the loss of your friend.
Hi I planted irises in honor of two lost family members. I got one kind from Iris Sisters, and another from Painted Acres Farms. Both places are listed here on Daves Watchdog page. Both delivered beautiful irises and communicated with me every step of the way. I've never grown irises before but I've always loved them...wish it hadn't taken such devastating loss to spur me into it, and gardening on the whole...but the irises still look really good out there and I have high hopes of seeing them bloom (planted them last fall). If you email either of these wonderful sites, they can tell you whether or not they carry the iris named Lesley. Sorry for your loss, I also lost my best friend, it sure isn't easy to lose a friend either!
THANK YOU so much to everyone for your suggestions and kind words. I found a miniature rose: 'Leslie'. It's for her sister's garden. She has very limited space so, even with the difference in spelling, I think she'll like it.
