Good News - I potted my two 'Candy Festival' rhizomes. I used a high grade soil and placed it in bright light. Growth has been decent and I am happy. I decided to plant them in the ground. When I pulled the rhizomes out of the pot I was surprised by how much the rhizome had increased in size. Bad News - I had to go out of town last week and it froze over night. I was not at home to cover them for safety. I lost all growth on one rhizome and the other only has freeze burn on the edge of the foliage. Only the foliage was affected by the freeze. I checked the rhizomes and they seem healthy enough to keep trucking ( fingers crossed ) The 'Pink Sunburst' rhizomes are toast. I will order some from Hughs Water Shop (?). I have seen good reponses from people that have purchased from them. Zitro_Joe

Do you have any callas to trade? Sally

Happy Birthday (though a tad late) - birthdays should always be special - it is the only holiday that is yours exclusively.

Those "car lights" theories are mostly nonsense. I haven't seen Marfa's lights (even though I have been out there), but I have seen the Brown Mountain lights of NC, and there is no way to explain them at all. The lights appear from nowhere, and they rise and fall, in altitude against the mountain side, and move sporadically, sometimes slow, sometimes fast and abrubt. This location is in a valley, far from people, and just getting to it, is a chore, as the only access is a forest dirt road. There are still a great many things that science has not as yet found a good explanation for.
