It's true I got the catawissa from someone here and the egyptian walkers from a seed company out of Washington state. The problem is I can't remember who. I do remember that when I tried to buy catawissa bulbils online absolutely everyone was sold out nationwide, that's why I had to settle for the normal Egyptian walkers. Then someone here came to the rescue. So I have both now. They are very similar actually, although the Catawissa's seem to be on steroids!
