Re: Did you get this in the mail?

Hi John,
I don't have the plant, but maybe I can point you in the right direction. I did a poinsettia column recently with Norwin Heimos of Millstadt Greenhouses, one of the growers and marketers of the "Scardy Cat" plants. The plants are marketed in Europe under the name "Piss Off," (determined to be too offensive for our delicate American sensibilities). I can tell you that the plant's odor is enough to deter me. Anyway, the literature Norwin gave me says the plant is Sumcol 01 (PAF) Coleus Canina-Hybrid.

Norwin had a booth at last year's GWA convention. You can contact him at Millstadt Greenhouses, 618-476-7200. I believe his e-mail is MLSTD@HTC.NET. His operation is located near me in Illinois, about an hour from St. Louis, MO.

If anyone on this list has a plant of this, is there any chance you could

send me cuttings or obtain a plant for me?
