Glad you caught that I meant to type "cut" them off, not "but" them off...lol My bananas are really starting to grow like crazy now...I lost one of my Silver Mazari palms..boohoo..But I still got one!! I'm going to look for more palms when we go to Florida in a couple weeks...I have a list of ones that will grow here, from there. Always love your pictures!!...Where in PA are you??...My hubby was born and raised in Pitts.

Thank you everyone for securing the site, establishing the swap & for your generous sharing. I scored the neatest plants & had so much fun visiting with everyone. Particular thanks to Patty for hauling down a PICKUP BED SIZED "Flores Street Houseater" rose, plus many other wonderful roses & plants. And Roselee, besides the neat Manfreda/agave cross, thank you for the wonderful Peter Beales "Classic Roses" book--what a thrill!--been pouring over it since Sat. (but ya know, there's a NAME for people who take photos of dummies making big silly grins THEN POSTING THE PICS ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!) Seriously, though, please e-mail me your addy--I have LOTS of the Gregg's dalea--I'd love to send you a good bunch so you can get it started & enjoy the blooms.
