Thank you for your kind words. Yes I really love the South and the people. I have been taking photos of all the plants I wasn't able to grow in the North since I got here. I fell in love with the cotton fields, magnolia, fig, gardenia, prickley pear and camellias. I also found some sort of citrus tree(very sour) with small yellow fruit and very large thorns. My neighbor had two beautiful white and very large camellia bushes on both sides of her front door that started to bloom end of November. I'm in heaven!!! I live in the old part of Mooresville(near Charlotte) so there are some very old plant specimans around. I did manage to start a Southern Magnolia and here is the photo. Healthy and strong. Also rooted some gardenia from a huge bush next door. I'll send that photo along next.
