Re: Michauxia tchihatchewii!

Thanks Janet, Loren, and Vicki for the info on self-sowing and seed
collection. Interesting how it reseeds itself in some gardens and not
others -- I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Janet, I fell in love with that T&M picture, too!  Did your plants really
bloom after only one winter?  Maybe that means mine got set back by that
one cold year...

The tin-snips are a novel idea!  Is it my imagination, or do I hear a bit
of aggravation in that last sentence :) ? These seed capsules do sound
rather intimidating.  Maybe I'll try scattering them whole where I want to
establish new plants.  Do you think they'd rot in a winter?  Hmmm...
