About me: Gardening since 5 - now 47. Recent addition to the St Pete area.
Total Geek and love computers and software, which is my career. Though I have a BS in Biology and a MS in Plant Breeding and Genetics, as well as lots of extra course and lab work after that in plant genetics.
Plant likes in no particular order: Hibiscus, tropical fruits and herbs, Bulbophyllums Masdevallia and Pleurothallids, Amorphophallus, Begonias, Mirabils, plumeria, Stapelia, passionflower, and on and on..... not many a plant I don't like.

My zone is: 10a
