What (elusive) plant do you crave?
Once grew spigelia Marilandica......a lovely variety called wisley jester.....but cannot now get it. Lovely red and yellow flowers on compact perennial bush. A real eye catcher that I kept for a few years but then lost it.
Cannot now find a supplier. Would love to have it again. So, it's a plant I crave

I crave many large flowering trees but due to having a small garden it's totally out of the question.
I have to make do with looking at other peoples
I'd really love to have a Plumeria, remind me of visiting warmer climates!
foxglove tree or foxtail lily both I cant grow .
Variegated daphniphyllum ( Daphniphyllum himalaense ssp. macropodum)
I bought some tulips 18 months ago called multi-headed red bouquet. True to their name each bulb had a number of rich red flowers that looked incredible. Can't find them anywhere now, not even on the producers web site.
Have you looked here, Verdun?

Meconopsis any blue. Variegated Ceanothus. Can obtain them but can't keep either.
Sorry Verdun, not elusive, I'll get my coat
