How does one get a self-fertile hybrid? Maybe by taking cutting of another plant and grafting? [Grafting wouldn't help. The easy way to get one is to get a...
Fang, Are these garden tours a regularly schedule event? How do you find out about them? Butch, I've read about Elk Creek on line and had sent Linda an email ...
FYI - Condor is a selection made by Dario Grossberger (and his father, mabye?) in Ventura County. I had the impression Edgar had developed it also until Edgar...
