Dear Kathleen,

Thank you for your note on hemi-parasitic plants. Do do you know of a
source for blue fescue seeds. T & M used to carry it but not now.

Joyce Miller, Gresham, Oregon

Castillejas (paintbrushes) are hemi-parasites; some years ago a method was
developed to grow these species from seed: Sow fescue (grass) seeds over a
flat of potting soil, grow the grass so that it is well established (3-6
months), then sow Castilleja seeds among the fescue plants. If you know
broomrape hosts, you could try a similar method.
