Thank you, Kevin. The people behind the plants we now take for granted are what I find perhaps the most interesting. Our ancestors didn't have nearly as much to enjoy. Are you familiar with Andrea Wulf's two recent books : Founding Gardeners and The Brother Gardeners? We ended up getting them for our library after renewing them several times from the local public... Fascinating history -- of course a bit farther back than any of our lifetimes...
I have a couple of Pacific Semps and was wondering about them so am grateful to discover this thread...
