Re: Lavender lovers
Hi!
I can't speak for specific species; my memory doesn't wrap around that degree
of detail anymore...even enough to tell me where I've filed their catalog... I
have, however, seen the facility at Richters, bought their plants and had
tremendous success. Their staff is very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable;
the store and mail order have tremendous selection -- bigger than any I've seen
anywhere.

"Catalog $2.00, rating ( A,B,B,A). Very large selection of medicinal herbs,
plants seeds and related supplies. Carry several plants and seeds of entheogenic
interest. Usual turnaround time is 2-6 weeks depending on time of year. Nice
quality plants. " quoted without permission from

sources...
