Sorry Guys it is taking me so long. Between making a Christmas present for everyone in my Family, going away to where it was warm and green for a bit I've been pretty busy. I'll try to find something tonight or tomorrow.

It's a small world after all... it's a small world after all... it's a small world... oh, sorry... I got lost in DisneyWorld for a second, there! LOL! (Can you believe I actually remember the words to that song?!) I'm so glad everything is going well for you, Cindee! I take it you like your job? I picked up earring wires on Monday, so now I can get your earrings going... I need to dig out my beads and supplies, and I'll have new earrings done by the time this Limona seed pod is ready to go! Yeah! I'm on a roll!

Hi Andy, I bought one of these from our brom. society sales table a few years back but I can't grow it well and it won't flower for me. It seems to get to adult size, put up a pup and then the mother plant dies back. I have it in a pot planted in a mix of pine bark, charcoal, perlite and potting mix of equal quantities (as I was told) and it's growing under 50% shade cloth with my aechmeas, but still no luck. Someone did suggest it should be grown on something like a branch rather than in a pot, is this correct? Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance, all the best, Nev.

Okay here we go. Everyone ready and have their thinking caps on?

What were Lilacs called when they first arrived in England and why? (Must have both answers.)

The common name lilac is from the Arabic word laylak or the Persian word nylac both which mean blue. Ironically, in English lilac refers to a more purplish hue?

My ex-MIL was very British & she would just freak if you suggested bringing lilac blossoms into the house, something about bad luck or death or dying... I still brought 'em in :).

Nope sorry, both of you are way off base. Try again.

I'll try again...

Way back, Mock Orange were known as Syringa because the stalks and branches thereof, when the pith is taken out, are hollow like a pipe?

What do Mock Oranges have to do with lilacs? Sorry Sharon I don't understand your answer.

Blue-pipe tree was the ancient name of the Lilac, a reminder of the time when pipes were made of its wood.

Is that the answer?
