I haven't seen any heliconia but there were two varieties of Strelitzia offered in this year's Thompson and Morgan seed catalogue - one a "black" bird of paradise, it looked interesting. Just an FYI.

My T&M catalog came with a $10 off coupon this time so I've been trying to decide how to spend it. I have only ordered from them once and had mixed luck. I think they have a lot of things in their catalog that are more adapted to very cool summers - and we don't have those. I'm afraid to order anything I'm not already familiar with.

Tina, thanks for letting me know. You've got me waiting on pins and needles now cause you know it is almost prime seed starting season! Yahoo! Beth, Another person is supposed to order seeds from Dowdeswell's Delphiniums Ltd (you can look them up on the web and salivate). Since they require you order 50 seeds of each type, she was looking for a couple of people to go in with her. She said she would get back to me toward the end of Feb, since that is when this company's new seed crop ripens. I'm really hoping this goes through. I've been having trouble with dampening off this year and I've been reading up on it since delphs are very prone to it. I've only grown the Delph's for a couple years and only a couple each year. They are iffy here. Seems like 1/2 don't come back the next year. We get pretty hot and humid here in Aug. But our cottage is in zone 5 and a much cooler area so I'm hoping I can get some of them to be perinneal there. :o) Your squirrel swap is so funny, I stop there often. I NEED a life! LOL sharon
