From: Roy Herold <rrh at genesis.nred.ma.us> on 1997.01.24 at 03:35:56(226) David: I can recommend the A. yamatense v. sugimotoi. I received some seed collected by Don Elick back in 1994, I believe. They were nothing special the first season, but in the second most of them were variegated with a central area of silver on each leaflet. Very attractive, but nothing has flowered yet. I believe Don has given one variegated form a cultivar name-- something like 'Silver Clouds'. A. consanguineum ('the weed of Yunnan') should not be passed over either. I saw dozens of different forms when I was over there I last October, many of which were quite different from those commonly grown in our gardens. --Roy Herold +More North Reading, MA

They are expensive (nearly a dollar a seed!), but worth a chance, by the sound of it. >A. consanguineum ('the weed of Yunnan') should not be passed over either.

So, here's hoping. Regards, David Victor +More ------------------------------------------------- A proud U-NET customer someone@somewhere.u-net.com -------------------------------------------------
