| Speechless. This is definately a standard above australia. I agree with Trig, I think we need to raise the bar.  |

| Yeah, please keep it on topic guys. I agree HN, that crest is stunning. Looks pretty large too. *waits for cortona to return with more pics* | Quote: | | I agree with Trig, I think we need to raise the bar |
Mine already is raised after seeing those Astro pics...
...I mean, that's good idea KanJe. 
Care to share any tips on growing rare Astro cvs. rather quickly, cortona? Or bulk seed sellers in Italy perhaps. I ahvr bought seed from Italy before, but the numbers were far from bulk.
Thanks.
