Re: Phormium & some other things

Thanks Valerie.

And I have had seed offered of another sp too by now, cookianum (a 
bit hardier even).
And information about how to sow. Germination seems to be special.

But: My main interest is original plants; not cultivars. Still thanks 
again!

Anyone here interested in some Hesperaloe funifera seedlings by the 
end of summer, by the way? (Anyone reading this and still waiting for 
her/his Hesp. f. seeds: they are coming!!)

Anyone here that has sown Agave sp. Ocozocoautla? It was in several 
seed lists. Man, they take time to germinate... And one week one, 
next week two, next week one... And strange looking too. Very thin, 
very "weak", bit reddish...

Regards!

Maarten
