RickCorey said:If you don't care about the exact variety, and want "random colors", there are a lot of traded zinnia seeds floating around that were "cross-pollinated by the regiment".
Let's say they have LOTS of genetic variability.
How tight are the regulations about mailing flower seeds INTO Israel? I always assume that "Israel is a desert", and that "nothing is invasive in a desert". If you'd like to try, I have plenty of "No ID" or poorly identified Zinnia seeds from trading.
But maybe lots of things are invasive in well-irrigated deserts!
first of all to all who are in contact with me you are very warmly invited to come to israel under any title you choose(religiuos.archiological.family.friends.....)ofcourse from the point of view of my little experiences on our three little porches +the compost heap and vegetables close to the garage.....there is little to see .but i personaly am learning alot.
i will send some photoes soon.
the seed story is quite sad.
you want to experience something cool.you buy a packet of a secret component and you discover you have been fooled.
and as i heard it has happened to many people.
so i want to go back to the primitive method.what you see you believe.
i dont know much of the mailing method ......i bought 4 different coleuses yesterday and iam going to plant them close to each other and hope they do something between them for next year sowing.
i hope to travel this year with my wife to the states.....or millvalley to my sister-in-law(sanfransisco)
or to her son in washington .so maybe i will buy some beautiful seeds.....who knows?
is there any place i can buy the tallest bean-climber(like in the story of the giant and his garden)so i can impress my students next year?i mean 4-5 meters high?
rick you have helped me alot.....the compost is working away ...good smell.....and as i wrote before i am growing allkinds ontop of the old heap.....i think to start a new heap because i want to let the compost work without me interupting it everyday with new garbage.i will air it once in a while
