To me, there's nothing worse (horticulturally, anyway) than having a great plant that is not what it's purported to be. Here's a fir instance...

These several plants were purchased as Abies nordmanniana. Nordmann Fir is a great plant that I enjoy every time I see it in landscapes, and have grown several plants for a long time at the Valley. I believe these new purchases to be a different species.
