Manfreda seeds

Hi,

I have Manfreda virginica seeds from southeast Texas, and I'm happy to send
them out for S.A.S.E.

As always I'm happy to get seeds but no trade is necessary--I'm happy to
share these Texas native plants.

The seeds are from Montgomery County and Harris County (just north of Houston
area and Houston area). They are just about as far west and south as you can
find this species. West or South you find other species of Manfreda.

Some of the plants have purple spots when stressed, when they are grown in
hot, hot sun without fertilizer. However, in the garden, the spots are subtle
and hard to see, and the plants produce nice flower stalks. Some say the
flowers are fragrant, but I haven't noticed this for myself.

If you want seeds please send me a personal email. As always, sending in the
USA is easy, overseas can be done sometimes but not always.

Cordially,

Joe

P.S. We finally got a lot of rain, and temperatures cooled off overnight--it
was 62 F this morning. I think this extra-long summer is over, temperatures
may drop to the mid-50s on Tuesday night (13 C). Rain is predicted for another
day or so, 1-3 inches.
