Hi Dennis: Dr. O'Farrell used to grow lots of wonderful Lousiana hybrids from seed in quite a short time in his ranch. And they are impervious to slight frosts. Both the foliage and the glorious flowers provide a very long season of interest. Please send them to the BX. It would also be most important to eventually count with true wild seed of any of their species so we can all know what they really look like. Do you know of anyone growing the species of them? All the best Alberto _________________________________________________________________ MSN Amor: busca tu ½ naranja http://latam.msn.com/amor/
