Jill, you got the essence of what we all think here.. As long as I have a latin name (or the DGer's name to ask for the latin name), I'm good to go.. Nothing else required cuz I can check that up but latin name.. Yup.. Have to say, I have a ton of noid stuff that people send and I have no idea if it's going to grow cuz I'm right on the border (zone 5) of most plants (zone 6) that I'm interested in.. So, hopefully people take your article to heart and stop baffling me.. :)
Oh, I know! And I feel bad looking at the seeds, knowing somebody put a lot of effort into harvesting, cleaning, and packing them... and now I have no idea if I'll be able to grow them or not, especially if they were included as an "extra" in a trade. (I try to look up everything that I ask for ahead of time.)
Right now, I've got two packs left over from a recent swap event that are marked "Hibiscus"... and I have no way to tell if they're hardy or tropical varieties. They were passed along from somebody who got them from somebody else who got them in a group swap -- no DG name, no description on the packet, and I don't even know who to pass them along to. Maybe somebody in a southern zone will be willing to try them...
LOL Critter.. I have those too.. I'm trying to decide if I want to attempt them to see if they are the hardy variety.. LOL.. Mine just say red&white hibiscus mix.. LOL.. I also have a million packets of "poppy" seeds.. Not sure if I want to try all of them.. I like the frilly ones but not the regular golden CA ones that I grew up with.. LOL..
