Source of za'atar that actually contains the herb of this name in the blend? 
I have been unable to locate it either on or off line. Scientific name of the 
herb, please so I can add it to my garden. Specific examples of it's use in 
this blend and on it's own in cookery. Thanks in advance.

BTW, Those who sent  SASE's for period gourd seeds can expect their seeds in 
the mail any day now if they have not already arrived as I write this. :-)

Yours in Service to the Dream,
