Plants should be collected by photographs, rather than lifting them from their habitat. This plant is protected in most areas....the next step is the endangered list. There are Goodyera species that are endangered.

Thanks, Marguerite! I don't mind the sharing and comparing of certain pics, but I do agree that I prefer specialized Threads that follow grower's progress with their plants. It helps keep things more organized. My Jades, all separated into their own pots, are growing well. My 'Red Horn Tree' was utterly toasted by the sun, and so I've been waiting for new growth to come in so that it doesn't look so awful!!! 'Legolas' has scarcely grown, but that's not much of a surprise with this variety. The Lancaster variegated and the Maruba Nishiki are doing fantastic, although the Maruba is / seems more prone to edema. That said, it is not only branching but is also putting out two new branches lower down the trunk. Josh

Kinda hard to tell from the pic, but I was thinking Abies balsamea. +oM

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing Warren.
