It's not a FAQ - Clianthus *isn't* a CP, but it has such beautiful flowers
that it's worth mentioning occasionally... (My two SDP seedlings had a
extreme case of sunstroke :-( Lucky I only planted 1/5 packet...)
"Off the subject threads" do pop up every now and again (anyone want to
start up the venomous snake or sphag fungus disease discussions again? ;-) )
