Nice Sissie! Do moles eat the roots?

Nice picture!
Nice focus!

Hmmm does this mean you've run out of bourneville?

Not yet thank you (pls try to stay on topic Dear...)

BTW - I especially like the purple form. Does it come true from seed?

;)

Yes, it's a particularly rare form of S. striatum being different in both colour and morphology, I have plenty of the purple available.

I'm sorry for digressing, I forget it's something you never ever do.

But milk is even better...

(We used to try to make each other laugh in elementary school for that very reason. I think it was third or fourth grade. My fourth grade teacher was Miss Hansen. I think she was originally from Minnesota. Some good fishing up there I hear. A friend of mine used to go with his dad every summer. Carl was his name if I recall. Just got a Christmas card from them last year. Wife had twins. They say it runs in the family - twins I mean. She was a twin - so was her mother. An emigre from Norway. Good fishing there too - cold water makes for good tasting fish. My favorite fish is the vinegared mackeral they have here - sushi of course. Funny, but it never tastes the same when you try to make it yourself. My friend Eugene says its the sake they cook the rice in. Never was too partial to sake, but this guy I work with downs it by the barrel. He's from Akita - they say some of the best comes from there. 'Cause of the good water prob'ly - straight from the snows of the J-Alps. Went there, back in '97. Rained most of the time. So we sat around the pension drinking tea. I made a joke and my friend snorted it out through his nose. Pretty funny!)

Will this plant survive in Zone 6?

I have collected seeds from plants growing in an equivalent to an USA zone 6b (their natural habitat). If they do not behave as a perennial in your 6a zone, you can still grow them as annuals. They set lots of seeds and are very easy to germinate the following season.

Hope this info helps.
