Bob,

Texas Mountain Laurel and MescalBean are one in the same. I was planning to send some MescalBean but if you would like to send the Texas Mountain Laurel, that is fine!

 

[byounghusband]

LOL!! I was kinda suprised that you hadn't included the TML in your list, since you are where I get mine. Now I get it....[:I] It is already packaged and going to the USPS.

 

[brokenbit]
