Thanks for the name/address, Maren. That's a better price than I found
at the one site I came across.

don't tell him that g, he may raise the price some more. - He does
charge extra for drilling, which was fine with me as I was looking for
seeds
to grow trees.

As I forgot this earlier: I have seeds of a tree that's related,
tulipwood,
harpullia pendula. They are about the same size, not gray and fuzzy
but black and shiny - undrilled so far -. I have a few hundred of
those,
$16.-/100 (about 2oz), includes shipping in the US.

Good luck with the growing...and the teenager

Thanks, I think the teenager will be fine (I hope, she's sick at the
moment,
and I'm more worried about that than about senioritis at the moment),
I just hope we get our electricity back soon. We're going on 3 months
(if they
don't connect our new panels soon we'll refuse to pay. It's ridiculous
to have
to pay $20.- per month for 2 (!!!) kWh, well, OK, last month it was
3kWh).

Aloha,

The name of the guy I bought the seeds form is Kristof, email address
is (sorry, I'd rather be able to sell them
myself, probably at a lower price, but this is the best I can do right
now)

Hi all,

Okay, back from Honolulu, where I had an absolutely fantastic time;
totally fell in love with the ocean, and spent lots of time just
sitting on the lanai watching and listening to the waves.

Anyway, while I was there, I met a beader in the hotel lobby who was
selling jewelry made with mgambo (velvet) seeds; said she got them
from a tree in her backyard (lucky lady). I've been looking on line
and only found one website that had them for sale. I was wondering if
anyone here could suggest more places to look for them? I'd love to
get my hands on a bunch of these.

Thanks,
Carla
