LOL! I'd forgotten that Allison wrote that about "grow lights" being better than regular fl. tubes. My AVs seem to be doing better under "ordinary" florescent lights than they were with just bright indirect light, but maybe I'll treat them to a couple of "good" bulbs some day. I do have it on good authority (DeBaggio & others) that the expensive "grow lights" don't make any difference to garden seedlings.

Here's a photo of lots of little seedlings I started for last spring. I know, I keep promising to take my camera downstairs for some photos of the AVs & leaf pots that are now occupying the top shelf under these lights!
