Hello Uli, As I said before, I would love to order it through the EU exchange and have you hold it for me to pick up when I pick up the seeds from you next spring. Please count me in, I can make payment in Euros for this. Rachel and I used to correspond on a fairly regular basis about many plant, as well as non-plant, topics. We were discussing our move to Spain shortly before they were murdered. She and Rod were such exceptional people. We had planned to visit South Africa to visit them after our move. All the best, Randy, currently in Seattle but soon to be residing in Granada.
