Collections

Has anyone assembled a collection of related figs? I am thinking of the Celeste group or an LSU collection, you would have to have both to complete the other. Though the celeste with it's different strains could get crazy.
I am thinking this;

LSU Purple
LSU Gold
LSU Everbearing
LSU Tiger/Giant Celeste
O'Rourke/Imp Celeste
Champagne/Gold Celeste

Add the Celeste and is it complete?

Any ideas on other groupings for a collection?
I'm thinking Col de Dame has three color variants.
Brown Turkey would be crazy as well, but would it be worth it? ;)
Dauphine has a couple colors as well.
The Condit hybrids come to mind.
Alma and TX BA-1, are the any others out of A&M?
Brunswick, Quarter Pounder, Castle Kennedy?

I think the best person(active) to contact at this time for info on LSU variants could be Dan. He seems to have alot of info on LSU variants or specialise on LSU variants.  Unfortunately I don't see Dan posting here. He is over in Garden Web fig forum.

Hi Warrior, if you live in a rainy humid climate, you might want to avoid the last three mentioned because of souring & splitting. James Robin is a good source for these also. Check rooted plants for RKN carefully no matter who you purchase from. 

Actually, I was more curious as to what sort of "themed" collections could be done. I do want to try the LSU cultivars because I have heard so much good about them.
Anyone want to throw in some ideas?

I believe Hollier may be from LSU. Not 100% sure though.

Yep, it is. I missed that one.
