You could try your local Home Depot if you have one, or you might find
one at a nursery if there are any around you.
Failing that, I have a small number of seeds (maybe 10 in the bag) that
I'd be glad to send you if you get me an address. I've got 7 sprouts
already, so I know the seeds are viable, and I certainly don't mind
sharing. :) I don't have any room for more right now, and by the time I
get it, I can probably get seed from my own plants. (I've got about 17
sprouts and seedlings at the moment - busy year!)

Really? I didn't know d.capensis needed to go dormant! I'm new at all
this. I knew that d.rotundifolia did, but not d.capensis. I guess I'd
better put all of them outside for the rest of the winter then,
shouldn't I?
