RE: Yahoo! Briefcase: tchessie's file(s) NOT Clerodendrum, but Cerinthe major

Pam-  I goofed- the pictured plant is Cerinthe major, not clerodendrum.  It
is only about 2 ft tall max. by maybe 18 inches across.  So don't panic and
email me you address- I'll send you the seeds!

P.S.  I fixed the name in my yahoo briefcase too.  That's what I get for
downloading photos after having a glass of wine with dinner!  At least they
both started with a "C".   Hmmmm, I guess this is one instance where a
common name might have been easier to remember!

Ohmigosh 20 feet tall? Lord - don't have room for anything that large or
I'd jump on it like a duck on a June bug. Oh my. Sure is pretty though!
Too bad it isn't smaller!


sigh.
