Michele I also talked to Dan Trimmer about LVT and he said he killed the first ones this year due to the heat, will try again soon since it's cooled off. These are the plants James took him, so you may already know this. I ordered both of the Rainbow plants from Dan, even tho they are sibs I have a plan for them being they are both long pedaled. Could you post a link to the site where you inquired about the Colchicine.
