Thanks so much. I knew some of you'd know about it. Treehouse, At this moment you are a very important person. Take very good care of yourself. People with chocolate Basil have a tendency to disappear into a never world,neverto be seen again. Kinda LOL!! If you know where you got the seeds or plants Would you e-mail me or post here? Would you be willing to take some cuttings or seeds and trade. You could ask the world-almost. This is fantastic. You got mail. vickie

Hi Leng Leng, I'll write you tomorrow [ok, today] with your other questions. This is what "I" have grown: >Rose Silk with Picotee Edge Variegated Leaves >Rose Silk with Picotee Edge Leaves NOT Variegated >Rose Silk with Darker Rose Star in Center with Picotee Edge Leaves NOT Variegated >Chocolate Silk with Picotee Edge Variegated Leaves >SOLID Chocolate NO PICOTEE Leaves NOT Variegated >Rose Silk with Slight Picotee Edge Leaves NOT Variegated >Rose Silk TIE DIE [Cross] NO PICOTEE Variegated Leaves Today I got another 'New' Cross that is a >VERY PALE Dusty Rose Silk NO PICOTEE Variegated Leaves [I 'think' - need to check out the leaves again] All of the above are 3" - 4" Blooms. The Rose Silks are more of a 'Dusty Rose'. Some are VERY 'Silky' - so I can see how they earned the name 'Rose Silk'. The Chocolates are a darker Color and do fit Cat's description. I had my first bloom this week of the >'SunSmile Brown', however, I didn't watch the bloom throughout the day. The bloom was under 2" - But, this was the first bloom, so that is all I have to go by. Variegated Leaves and looked just like a miniature Chocolate Silk. I have also gotten CROSSES from my Rose Silks that had 5" -6" Blooms. >Rose Silk with Picotee Edge Variegated Leaves >Rose Silk with Darker Rose Star in Center with Picotee Edge Leaves NOT Variegated >Rose Silk TIE DIE NO PICOTEE Variegated Leaves All CROSSES, and ALL EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL I'm sure I've left some out that I've grown, but this is what I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps, Emma

I'm really sorry I missed that Oprah, cause I like Giada, and I like the shows Oprah does with happy people instead of victimized people. Giada definately seems happy. Some of her recipes I've made have been very good, and some have been so-so. DH is not a Brie fan, so I never buy it. It's too pricey to buy if not everyone likes it. As for basil and chocolate? Hmmm, I don't know. I like basil with almost anything, and chocolate with almost anything, but I don't know about the two together. Sally

Have lemon balm, dill, german chamomile, anise hyssop and Genovese basil to trade as well as what's on my trade list :)
