Re: Digitalis obscura

The magazine was Taunton's Fine Gardening, August 1997 issue.  The article
was written by Panayoti Kelaidis, who is (or used to be) with the Denver
Botanic Gardens.  The article references T&M as a seed source, and Joy
Creek Nursery (Scappoose OR 503-543-7474) as a plant source.
