do you know anyone who supplies this?
on nov.1 every year the markets of oaxaca, mexico, are flooded with trucks
that are over- loaded with blooms of this marigold.
i have seen them in the fields; they are growing over 6ft (2m) high
I suspect that a small patch is allowed to go to seed, which is harvested
around sept. the rest are disbudded continuously until about oct. 1, when
they are allowed to go into bloom, prolifically, for market as cut flowers
for their day-of-the-dead celebrations
i would like 50 - 100 seeds. do you know a supplier, in usa or mexic or
anywhere else?
