Mark McDonough asked,
"Jane McGary mentions a couple species that catch my attention; "T.
orithyoides (tiny, white-and-greenish, in flower now) from Central Asia;
and T.
sharonensis from Israel, thanks to a NARGS member there". Where might we
find T.
orithyoides? It sounds wonderful. Where is the species from?"
I will post a photo of it on the wiki when more flowers open in a week or
so. The origin is collector's number JJH948746 and the geographical site is
listed as CIMG 3200 m[eters], rocky slopes. I believe this is his code for
Chimgan , and I think that's a variant of Chimkent, a province of
Kazakhstan. I ordered the seed from his 1994 catalog.
