Sunflower - Hopi Black Dye
I grew this sunflower variety in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The seeds from this were purportedly used as a dye for the Hopi Indians, hence the name.
Unfortunately, I was not able to salvage seeds from my 2005 season; the birds beat me to them.
IIRC, I bought my original seeds from Baker Creek and I see that they no longer offer it, nor can I locate them elsewhere.
Do any of you know of another source that sells them?

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
