Note: While I welcome correspondence, I am often not able to answer all the questions I receive about science fair projects, sources for seeds, identification of obscure plants, etc. You might have better luck posting a query to the newsgroups bionet.plants and sci.bio.botany. If I see something there I can answer, I will! If you do e-mail me, please be sure your return address works!
