So sad, after all they've done for you, lol. Well, more for at the Auctions! As you know, it is very rewarding to grow your own seed(s) and then you can brag to yerself and me that you have plenty more, or sell them...There have been talks about any seed having become acclimated to where it was originally produced. That's a lot of work, too, for a seed flag - very impressive, the blunt ends of the wooden spikes! A Master of many things. Good Luck---eric g
