I had thought that your name might come from something in your culture, but I got sidetracked by that Old US Government document about seeds. 😄 ADDED: I just ran "Burro Oscuro" through the Google Translator, which said that it was Italian for "Dark Butter"! I then clicked on "Spanish" and the translation changed to "Dark Donkey", as I had suspected. 😄 It is a plant native to Mexico and Honduras and is often called "Donkey's Tail". Edited January 12, 2021 by RedBaird I am always "adding" things... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
