Thanks, Jay. The leaves do look stiff. Is it invasive in your garden? I asked my co-worker to collect some seeds for me so I can start a couple of plants in my yard in Sacramento. I notice we are in the same planting zone - 9a. I love the mild winters and I am always on the lookout for flowering plants for the fall and winter seasons. But I certainly do not need anything else invasive in my yard.

Thanks for the Latin lesson. For some reason, I read the name as augustifolius instead of angustifolius. I now have two new words in memory - hopefully it doesn't knock out two other words that I will need in the future.
