Thanks for the information about grasses. Keith, I got lots of odd looks
while reading your post. Sure glad I don't exhibit any of those
characteristics!
Still don't know what to do; order the 'albo-striata' from Burpee's (the way
I figure, with $10 off they'll be about $3 apiece) or hold out for the
'aureoloa'. Maybe I should do both...
As always, thanks for the great help!
