	I didn't supply the name of my supplier because I didn't know 
	if it was appropriate, or if it would just seem like flaming.  I
	don't recall seeing anybody else posting problem suppliers,
	but I guess that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
	Since the question has been asked.....

	Terra Time & Tide

	The Aji limon/Arledge hot mix-up could have been due to their
	supplier.  Aji limon should have been C. baccatum, but the
	Arledge is definitely C. annuum.  I did not complain to them
	because I am satisfied with the Arledge hots, (nice flavor,
	medium heat and a nice long burn), and they have already
	removed the Aji limon from the site.
	     I also purchased red savina habanero seeds from them last
	year.  This was prior to my knowledge of the PVP status.  I am
	growing them this year and they are most definitely C. chinense,
	definitely hab-shaped, but I don't yet know (and may never know)
	if they are truly red savina, or rica red or some other red hab.  
	None have ripened yet, so I don't even know if they are red.  I did
	not complain about this because I am not sure if I am displeased
	or not, and anyway, they have removed it from their site also.

	I will think long and hard before I order from them again.

	     I hope this answers any questions you folks have about my 
	experience with this supplier.  If you need more info, feel free to
	e-mail me on or off list.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

	Scott... all reasonable requests accommodated... KCK
