It was me who psoted the message in question, I think. In a
nutshell it went something like this. I had spent quite a few bucks
over several years in trying to buy PCN's and grow them here in the
North Okanagan Valley (zone 5 winters with hot,dry summers).
They all died. Then I tried seed from the SIGNA exchange and
suddenly I had survivors. Their first bloom followed a winter with
several days of temperatures below -30C but with about 12" of
snow cover. They are now going into their 10th season here and
transplant readily in the local area. An interesting test will be how
well they travel to other climes.
Some selections will be sold this year by Ambrosia Gardens I think.
