Re: Abelmuchos

>Nan, Where did you get yours?

I purchased them from a nursery near me called Encinitas GArdens, but seeds
should be easy to come by and they are easy to start.  You might contact
Jim Duggins at Encinitas GArdens, he mail orders bulbs and he might mail
order plants if you ask him nicely.  He has a website, I think it's
www.bulbman.com.

Good luck!

Nan

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
