Sheryl, the heads up on good deals is most welcome here! You know how cheap I am, LOL! I grew H.foetidus in my last garden, but the seedlings I brought with me when we moved here didn't make it (a drought the year I moved the garden did several things in). As I recall, it bloomed in winter, which was nice, but the cold would sometimes injure the blooms. I think you'll have better luck with it being further south. The green blooms were gorgeous.
