How big is the plant? I might be interested. Would you like some arugula seeds (I cultivated these from my plants)--great for fall. I also have rose geraniums to send cuttings. I also have some hyacinth bulbs (al least I think they're hyacinths). I also have a bunch of succulents. How about a cutting of lemon verbena. I looked on directgarden.com to see what bananas they sell--they don't exist anymore. :-(

Thanks for your kind comments about my flowers. I guess all the flowers are familiar to you except maybe #3. Unfortunately, I don't have that name either :-( For the others, in the order are: 1- Fuschia, 3 years old, grown from a cutting 2- Orchid cactus, amaryllis and blue agapanthus 3- NOID vine 4- English asters (?) 5- Cosmos 6- Dahlia 7- Dwarf marigold and impatiens 8- Cosmos again 9- Rose (don't know what kind) 10- Shrimp plant 11- NOID tropical fruit 12- Ginger lily 13- NOID hibicus Nell, the fruits you thought were "pears" were actually not pears! I'm sorry, too, for I don't know what it's called in English. This kind of fruit is eaten as whole, ie no peeling of the skin! I have two trees bearing these fruits, they're quite commonplace in 'Nam. I'm glad you like my flowers. Everything looks lush because we have a lot of rain this time of year. Xuan

How exciting, Lisa! I will keep my fingers crossed it will be "fruitful". When we were building our house (and garden), I had a huge compost pile right in the middle of what was to be our garden. When I'd come over to see how things were going, I'd bring pruners and shovel and every day I'd be clipping something and throwing it into the pile. On the way, I'd pick up any organic stuff I'd find by the curbside on recycling days to add to the pile. After halloween, I brought many pumpkins back to the pile and added them. Next spring, I had pumpkin vines growing everywhere out of my pile. Big, healthy, fast growing ones. No pumpkins tho. I decided to bring a small paintbrush, and several mornings I would be walking all over the pile in my high heels, brushing the stamens and then the pistils on the male and female flowers. The construction workers were very curious, gathered by the windows. It was no time I had several pumpkins. They workers would watch them grow and report to me how big the pumpkins were almost daily. They grew big, too, but got those little vine borer worms eventually and had to be thrown out. It was great to be part of nature's miracles, tho, and I'll never forget that experience. Anna
