I sent out a pile of cuttings all over .. a fellow in I think IL sent me some seeds for the orange coneflower... along with whatever else the trade was [ love thoes traders ] ... and an article about it's development... hypeing it for this years growers.. I think it was a colaboration of the university there and one of the major gowers.. It didnt seem to be a engineered thing but more of developmental one.. like the grower was footing the bill at the schoool ...and the kids were developing it .. it should grow true from seed as it was what they weretrying to sell to the growers. I looked about here for the info sheet or the seeds and I can't seem to find therm anywhere.. it's a bit early for me to start seeds as by the time they can go out they are too big to have inside and have started becomming leggy or bent..
No wonder I can't find anything .. plants galore ... rooting.. stored.. flowering..
and the rare one that's dormant.. and that's inside the apartment.. [and in the hallwway ] I'm told it's like the childerns story of farmer Mc Greggor's Apartment house.. He was a building super .. and as folks moved out he'd convert their space to growing plants.. till his building was like a truck farm.. and he didn't have to bother with the pesky tennants.. just more and more plants.. but unlike the story.. I still live here ... where inside watering is about a 35 gallon proposition.. Gordon
