Lavenders in the UK.
« on: April 02, 2007, 11:55:45 AM »
Has any of you lavender developers thought of importing some from the UK?  I saw this listing on eBay for hatching eggs.  

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120103962042&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=160101905857&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget

If the link is too long, you can search.  The fellow spelled it    \"6 Lavender Aruacana hatching eggs\"  

It looks like they have a bit of a topknot besides muffs and beards and they don\'t seem to care about leg color.

The British standard Araucana is closer to our Ameraucana, than Araucana, but still different.  I\'ve seen pictures of their lavenders and they look great, but don\'t think it would be worth the import hassle and even if that was easy I think the crosses we\'re making to develop LF lavender Ameraucanas may be better than crossing with a British Araucana.
