Asparagus

Dear Joseph,
Wow. I am impressed. I think Asparagus is certainly 'meat'
for this group since it has enlarged storage roots and in a definite
target family.

I don't even know half of these, but I'll be warming up Google soon.

I'd love to get A. asparagoides and hope Richard can share
some seeds with the Seed Ex. when they over run his garden.

One of my plant hunting regrets was that I failed to get
seed of Asparagus gobicus a miniature semi shrubby Asparagus I found
growing on the edge of the Gobi Desert in Gansu Province China over
15 years ago. I am sure I could find it again if anyone wants to fund
a trip there.

I hope you'll share pix of these interesting species.
Thanks. Jim W.
