I am from Southport, NC at the mouth of the Cape Fear River ( remember the movie?). Southport is about halfway between Wilmington, NC ( Michael Jordan's home town) and Myrtle Beach, SC. Tropical Storm Tammy just passed thru here and we've had about 4" of rain in the past 2 days. My yard is flooded. I waded thru knee deep water to get to the mailbox this morning. Somehow the newpaper arrived during the night! I lost a bunch of plants when Hurricane Ophelia passed through two weeks ago and I am afraid another batch of plants drowned in this latest flood.
I love the idea of plant exchanges and round robins. In fact I found that I have just the kind of heirloom begonia that some one in the house plants forum is looking for but I don't know how to get the person's mailing address so that I can send it to her. Also any hints about sending plants and seeds in the mail would be appreciated.
Here's a photo of a wonderful cactus that blooms for me each summer. My mother dug it up from her backyard in Tucson.
