>>P.S. Yay! Germination on my S. psitticina `anthocyanin free' seeds!

>Damn man! Where do you get these things? I've never even heard of anything
>being anthocyanin free besides S. purpurea. Amazing :-)

Network! Network! Network! Don't stay satisfied with just talking on the
net. Write a note to CPers who write articles for CPN. Introduce yourself
to CPers in your area. Network network network!

The psitticina `anthocyanin free' came from John Hummer. There's also
antho free forms of rubra jonesii, leucophylla (plant of my dreams),
and rubra gulf. I don't have the leuc, but I have the other ones.

P.S. I went into the G-house this a.m., and the U. longifolia flower
had finally opened. It was nearly an out-of-the-body experience for me.
This deep purple flower is 2.5 cm long, and 4 cm wide! Big yellow splotch
edged in white on the spherical inflated palate bulge. Incredible. I've
actually waited years to see this plant in flower. Stunning.
