Kitty:  If you have any extras, I'd love some...you've got me convinced I need to branch out from the usual.  :-)

Thanks so much Gene. I'm going to try some myself. Anyone else want
some<br>Glaucidium seed? This is a peony relative from Japan with
gorgeous flowers.<br>I also have some Fritillaria radeanna seed (like F

any one wants that.<br><br>Kitty<br><br>----- Original Message -----

Well, Kitty<br>> If the seeds are tan or brown paper-ery with the bump

freezing.<br>> Gene E. Bush<br>> Munchkin Nursery & Gardens, llc<br>>

This is one of those seeds that needs to be sown fresh. I
