I'm looking at two stalks of BUCKWHEAT that stood 34" in the garden, have
three branches and a spur, with the lowest branch carrying its own spur.
Total of 7 buds on each.  BUCKWHEAT is a nice, subdued tannish yellow with
heavy ruffles and mid-size flowers.  Every rhizome that could rebloom tried
it this year, but a bit late.
