hmm... proteioides x auriculatum.............well, supposing the cross "took"... can you imagine how long you'd have to wait to see that flower??!!     My auriculatum is nearly 30 years old and no sign of a flower bud yet 

There has to be something in the will.

Ho! Ho! That's a good one......and speaking personally, I suspect that that is ALL there will be in the will 

Wonder who will kick off the fight for my R. auriculatum, when the time comes?

No doubt, now that the chocolate is spoken for.

Seriously, this is not a stupid idea. So many fine and rare plants are bulldozed or otherwise killed off when their owners shuffle off and leaving specific plants to suitable recipients should be encouraged. A friend of mine has made a list of 30-something plants she wants to go to various people and her executors, in time, will set that in motion. Thankfully, though 88 now, she is still hale and hearty.
