Bob,
Well you're bursting my bubble! I do agree that Empress Wu and T. rex have been a huge disappointment in my gardens... Komodo Dragon has been in my garden for years, and looks pretty nice considering it's grown in sand. I got it from Foxfire (?) gardens in a coop on Dave's Gardens.
I'd offer you a piece of my Blizzard, but it only has one streaked eye left. Another one I can't really complain about, though. I got this one from a coop when Q & Z went out of business.
