botiasI took a chance on a tiny grower that offers all their varieties for $4 on the strength of one positive review. We'll see what happens. I exchanged chatty emails with the owner who (by his own report) is a retired rodeo bull rider who also breeds cats, horses and pit bull dogs. I hope he comes out of major back surgery alright. (Bull riding: bad for your back. Who knew? Actually, I did. He's not the first professional cowboy I've met with bad back.)
There are some oddballs here.
Color Magic, Fire Magic and Giraffe
Harvey Coop, Maki, Vassio Meggos. Maki is a 'sport' of the Largest Dahlia Ever. I found the L.D.E. a little boring apart from its size, but this variegated version seems worth a try. Harvey Coop and Vassio M are both sports of Spartacus, one of my faves, and Harvey Coop is $15 everywhere else.

Oh! And cute frogs.
