Ah, yes, Michael, that is correct.   The garden source seed is not the most
vigorous.
Someone offered wild collected seed last year, but I can't put my finger on
who it was.
Perhaps the supplier in Germany.
It its just too valuable  of a parent plant in breeding to NOT have, even
if it is difficult.
