Hi Rob,

I doubt that this will help you, but Alan Lowrie used to sell seeds of
D.capensis "Merry-go-round" (and also the "Crestate" variety). I believe
the "Merry-go-round" variety has flower stalks which reach for the sky
in a helical pattern. Alan's current list, located at
redtail.unm.edu/cp/lowrie.txt, lists the "Merry-go-round" and the
"giant" varieties. Maybe Alan could provide you with more info?

Stefan
