Judy, would love to try some seed of your mirabilis. Can I reimburse you for postage? Bridget In rain-starved Morgantown, PA where the blooming Triteleia in the gravel bed is not minding it at all (as I try to ration the rainwater left in the rain barrel). > On Jun 23, 2018, at 10:03 PM, Judy Glattstein <jgglatt@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have had this plant for decades. The seed came, if my memory is correct, from a friend who was working at Monticello.
