Hope that's not another D. Orinoco TC packaged as CA Gold. It would be nice if it's at least a TC of the actual CA Gold.

I bought their Greenhouse Business book, and I didn't find anything new in it. I'm not complaining. They're practicing what they preach.

I really know of only two sources of TX Star - GA and TX. Unless GB got their stock from either source and TC'd them, I will be skeptical as to whether it's the same as the one from Ty Ty.

Harvey got several pups of TX Star from a grower from UT after I posted his pictures here. The grower indicated that he got his stock from TyTy.

Thanks again.
My thoughts exactly. He has said in the past that Texas Star and C.G. is orinoco.I think if these were tc of T.S. and C.G. he would ask a higher price.
