Too Many New Plants?

I’m a big fan of Tim Wood’s “The Plant Hunter” blog —it’s a great way to see tons of new plants. He’s the product development manager for Spring Meadow Nursery.
According to his most recent post, he’s just back from the American Nursery and Landscape Association Management Clinic in Louisville, where he met 42 new plants.
Are we getting overwhelmed with too many plant introductions each year, to the point that gardeners are becoming undone with too many choices in the nursery? He brings up lots of good points.
I tend to agree with him. Bring on lots and lots of new plants and let the market decide how they fare.
Any thoughts?

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
