[Arid_gardener] Request help in finding seeds

[Joe Lively]

Hello my friends

I have experienced a tragedy.  Two years ago, I planted some seeds  
that had been hand picked from one of the canyons in lower Arizona.   
They germinated and
did well.  My hummingbirds loved the flower.  This past October, I  
noticed deer tracks in my hummingbird garden and found that my prized  
Chuparosa plants
(Justicia californicia) had been rooted up.

Can you help me with some seeds for Chuparosa.  My hummingbirds will  
probably revolt, if I am not able to find replacements.  This plant  
is native to desert washes in the
canyon areas of New Mexico, Arizona and California.  Classified as a  
xeric and known to have tremendous nectar flow along with a good  
population of small insects,
Hummingbirds will abandon other flowers for this one.  I am also  
interested in seeds for Ocatillo.

Thank you in advance for your courtesy.

Joe Lively
