It's still looking like I may be able to make it but not 100% sure. I've also got a few Curry Leaf Tree (Murraya koenigii) seedlings that I can dig up and I can try to root cuttings of Mexican Oregano if anyone is interested (if all else fails, I can bring cuttings for someone to root). I've found three Dwarf Powderpuff seedlings that should be small enough to transplant. Tom, I've been accused of being willing to try most anything, although vines have become one thing that I've said no to (I'm fighting to remove a number of vines from the yard, some invited - most not). Sterile is a selling point. I can add the lime to my citrus collection. keiki, everything you mention sounds good. I've had a "banana" for the past 10 years which has bloomed twice and produced fruit once just in time to freeze before it could ripen. I believe it's a plantain and would much prefer a more palatable fruit. My wife has been searching for some old angle wing begonias that she used to have so I'll always take them. I tried to collect heliconias a couple of years ago but only have a couple of the common varieties left. I've acquired a number of bromiliads over the past few years as well. Necklace pod is a hummingbird plant. Not sure where I have room for one now but (with a little work) "there's always room for one more". Steve in Valrico

Sounds like fun!

I am here tonight for a favor. I am in need of quick prayers for my 24 year old daughter. She went to the emergency room yesterday because she first started having stabbing pains in her chest then her left side began tingling and she was dizzy and had difficulty concentrating. She was tested for stroke and bloodclot and when they could not find anything, sent her home. Her pain went away but not the tingling. I took her to the chiropractor and she didn't do any work on her because just simply looking at her and her reactions to certain tests made the chiro ask me to take her back to the er. I took her to a different hospital and they have admitted her. I know someone asked if MS was in the family and I do have a cousin. They are doing an MRI tomorrow and after reading the symptoms tonight, realize that Elizabeth has several of them and they even mentioned some patients had pains described as stabbing which is how this started. I am scared for my daughter and pray that MS is not the problem. Please keep her in your prayers and I will keep you posted. Thanks Margo
