There are no hybrid bean varieties. It is not feasible to produce hybrid bean seed. So definitely go ahead and save seed of beans you value. It is perhaps the easiest of all vegetables for seed saving. And enjoy the Bean Forum. It's a good one for sure. But you will find us beaners on this forum quite often too. Jim

Most rubber trees are grown in low light/bright light, I believe. They dont need any direct sun to flourish. Like most house plants, morning sun is tolerated well. I have known house plants (rubber trees) to tolerate dark corners and drought. My sister has a brown thumb. But she has had a rubber tree and a lemon-lime dracaena for a long time. She keeps her shades drawn for at least half the daylight hours, and waters occasionally. Im sure it could survive living with vampires. I know you could keep it alive.

Yes, that was interesting but..... Now it is 3 hours later and I went from Julian calendar back to old Nordic and old English month names and from there to Irish history, the Nordic gods, the Niebelungen Saga, Irish and via Richard Wagners operas back to more recent times. The laundry still sits where I left it before I read your post. Instead of housecleaning I ended up with more stuff in a drawer in my brain.

...just as I described it. Judging by the size of the head, much of the insect is not in the photo and exists elsewhere as a headless insect.
