Well, I think I was wrong. It was linked in the Co-op seed run for the Purple Paonia Paralyzer thread. Seed Run Co-Op Paonia Purple Paralyzer (Heirloom Preservation) - CLOSED
That story was taking place in the late 60’s or early 70’s. Very cool stories regarding that strain.
I can’t remember what it was that made me think of it. I read about that shop recently somewhere.
