Hi Mary, Thanks for your email and the seedsandall link. I am somewhat reluctant to get seeds from some of these online places, as they have a well-established reputation for delivering seeds that have been hybridised or are not of the advertised species. I will definitely be in contact with the Berkeley folks. BTW, have you subscribed to my conservation project's free newsletter? I think you'll find it worthwhile. Posts are already up on http://www.adamwelz.com/ and you'll find the subscribe link there. New posts weekly.
