Dear Texas members:

Two of my favorite native geophytes that I grew while in Texas (at least I consider them geophytes) were angel trumpets (Acleisanthes longiflora) and scarlet muskflower (Nyctaginia capitata), both in the four-o'clock family. I have left plants wherever I've lived and gardened, but now I find myself seedless and without two of my favorite plants. Does anyone have these plants growing nearby? I know they occur as far east as the Hill Country and should be ripening seed soon and for the rest of the growing season on and off. I will be happy to reimburse postage or trade some Herbertia lahue, Clitoria mariana, or Tecoma stans var. stans seed I have handy. Please respond privately.
