Thanks Kyle,
It would be easier if I could just send you a Priority Stamp and have you send it, but if that isn't convenient for you, I'll find a way.

Wow Barba, what an impressive collection.
Pebble,
I have several obsessions. Growing Brugs is my first and most serious, gingers, particularly Hedychiums, second and Alocasia and Colocasias third. Also have mild obsession for cannas--not as strong as the other 3..
Barb, I would say that yes, you do... Just judging from your list above. But what a good obsession to have.
Plants are my obsession too, but I guess not on the scale as everyone else here seems to have. I thought I did till I saw everyone's lists here.
I traded some brugs with you last year you may recall.
Pebble,
Yes, I remember. Do you have any new brugs you would be interested in trading?
Barbara
Barb, I'm afraid I don't, most of my brugs died....weather related... I need a greenhouse! If I had a greenhouse, I think my obsession would equal everyone else's here, but unfortunately since I don't, I feel defeated from the get go.
Kyle, need to get in here and ask you how tall and wide the Alocasia Macrorhizza becomes;)
"eyes"
Eyesof..it gets leaves about 20 inches long and about 18 inches wide at the base..the whole plant will be around 3 feet tall in the peak of the summer season..feed well (during summer only) and keep moist not wet and stand back..the babies will be everywhere!! :-)
Thanks, mucho grande.....and BTW.....It's "eyes" to my friends...;)
"eyes"
Pebble,
Sorry about your brugs. Later in spring, if you are interested, contact me and for postage I can send you several cuttings of some of the common brugs.
