Interesting US seed supplier
 
Just come across this:
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/

A very large number of exotic - and not so exotic - seeds supplied.
These include dozens of tomato and pepper varieties (I am not sure if
some of these would not be allowed in the EC).

The seed prices are not unreasonable, and the minimum mail order appears
to be only $10 (excluding airmail charges).

I don't usually look through sites like this, but came across an
interesting claim (on the site that Jeff mentioned) : that the seeds
of 'honesty' - Lunaria annua can be used as a mustard substitute and
the roots can be cooked as a vegetable. Live and learn.

The variegated white one is lovely to grow but whether it will come true
to type from seed i saved this year will be a surprise!

It will if its well away from the ordinary purple ones, mine have stayed
true for the last 12 years without any reversion. (I agree its a class
plant)

I suppose its part of the greater cabbage family so related to mustard but
even so I didn't know that either, does the site indicate how to prepare the
seed? (we always have plenty of honesty seed!)
