I had been wondering...I was sure I checked the box on my last few posts. I thought no one had replied. But when I checked my thread, I did have replies. Unfortunately there is no way to retro-check that box, to make sure. To make sure you can find your own thread, bookmark it when you first make it. I've gone back to doing that, at least for now.

We are not alone!!! I got it too and at both my email addresses. I had changed my email to my netscape one because I like the netscape email better than hotmail. So that means the addresses have been harvested for some time!! I am not really put off by this either. It is not often you get mail regarding an interest. Some of its looks interesting to me but my cash resources will not be spent on botanical literature since most of what I need I just print off the net since it is for my own reference. I much rather buy plants instead. Too bad they were not offerring unique Chinese ferns etc. for sale and distributed like the way Wistuba carns are distributed in the USA!! Now that might be interesting!!

Thank you all! Thank you Wodka for the encouragement and thank you maire-cate for the link! I am 6b, although as someone else mentioned, for the last 10-15 years our temps have increased and our winters are milder. When this was discussed on the cottage garden forum, using the plant as a container plant was suggested. I do the same thing with pink jasmine each year, although I do not bring the jasmine in for the winter, just get a new plant. This weekend I ordered one plus some wisteria - from ebay! I have used this nursery before and they are located in the carolinas. I have ordered wisteria from them before. Funny thing, wisteria grows everywhere here - but you do not see it in our nurseries. tina

I don't know how anyone can go to houzz.com and view anything. What I get is the entire page covered with the option to sign in through Facebook or sign up through email. I can get no where. If I click on a topic like kitchens at the top it goes to a page that again has a huge sign in banner across the page. I suspect some may be automatically getting in because they have Facebook. Even if I click on a link someone posts to view the page can not be viewed due to the login banner. I just get so turned off by things like that, makes me not interested in the effort. If they let me look around there's a very good chance I would join but not that way. Not getting another app for something I can't view. Got the email.
