Timber, you did a great job....great root system. It will be full soon. Marie

Hi everybody Purp Ill do my best to perk thing up here...but im gunna need more aroids hrm... I feel pretty well versed on aroids now, but I was thoroughly intrigued, and collecting them well before then...they are just too much fun. Im goin for the big move i think. I been rooted here too long and 850 miles wont cut it, I HATE the cold, it just hurts now i cant imagine when im older...ugh, but my old lady cant take the heat. Looks like west is our only option, I hope the lack of humidity doesnt hinder my aroid options D: AL is a beautiful state, id certainly settle for there as long in was near the coast. That little spotted EE just might make it there too, or make a nice house plant til next spring, they handle it remarkably well. tropic I havent found a destination yet, i dont think, certainly havent reached it, have I...now uve made me all philosophical...thanks... :P I spose the nt on the end of your handle means northern territory. That would be a reasonable destination, really, i think anywhere in AUS would do, atleast anywhere with people... Have any more of those where your at? More people that is...With that climate I might be ok with no people anyways. Ive given up on makin it down there tho, crosscounrty is daunting, globe trekkin with kids. not on this budget...o well. Land ownerships great tho man, keep up those payments, any hopes of being free from the banks soon? Not to beat a dead horse but i think my realist plant list would be much easier obtained from your seat than mine, Ive seen a cyrtosperma recently, in person! my freind in QLD owns 7 types... That grass sure does look green over there...from here. :S mike your close! my new friend! :D Im super stoked our interests cross over and your so close. I really dont ever check my email. >1K. unread mails...ha, and honestly my plant collection is so minimal (seeming to me) that theres no need for a list. I want more plants, especially aroids, I bet we can do each other a fair bit of good on new acquisitions. Hopefully maybe meet an do some face to face plant swapping. I might mention at this point ive conjured up some tropic shangrila in your backyard, do you have a greenhouse, or plans of building one, and do have more near a hundred or thousand plants? Sorry im nosey :P I really do appreciate your offer, hopefully soon we will both have some sweet new plants from the other :D Thanks for responding everybody I got alot of good pics up and most labeled good enough for now at http://www.flickr.com/photos/88898514@N07 140 of em for now. several more to come. Please post any comments or questions here, it seems like a good place Hope to hear from a few more aroiders here before this thread gets old and crusty and on page 2 :D Here is a link that might be useful: some of my plants

I seldom read on Conversations but drop in and read select threads on Home Decor. We're retired and travel a bit but we have a portable internet connection so I'm rarely far from the 'net except where cell service is unavailable. I occasionally post but I know I don't care as much as many others here about changing things in my house. We have a fairly new home on a large acreage and I like our accumulations of "stuff" in our home so will probably seldom post pics as I'm not looking for advice on changing things. I find lots of inspiration here as well as on other MB's and sites. There are some posters homes here I could happily adopt! ;-) As others have also said my favorite shopping places are yard sales, vintage, antique and consignment stores. I could probably start a store with my finds but I just play around and rotate them frequently. I mostly post on Garden Junk as I'm really into that right now and they're a very friendly group. I finally learned to post pics and it's not all that difficult, if I can do it anyone can. I also "read" and infrequently post on several other forums when the mood strikes. Here's a YS find I just couldn't resist! LOL
