Bocaginger, sure, I don't see why not. I didn't even think of gardenias, but that is a great suggestion because I like to bring gardenias inside when they open. I have Michelia trees, and it is perfect for those flowers too. It would work for any flower really that doesn't have a long stem, I think.
Jeri, you or any of the regular posters here can dmail me anytime. I do get a lot of dmails from nonsubscribers mostly, and I don't answer those anymore. I did answer them for a while, and it ended up being a full time job with no pay! LOL! Now I figure those nonsubscribers can subscribe to get their questions answered if they wish. Another reason that I try to discourage growing questions by email is that usually others have the same question or will have the same question so it helps everyone to read the answer, and then I don't have to re-type it more than once! I know that I must sound terribly terse in that message, but it really has helped to cut down on the amount of dmails coming in. I usually only have an hour or two a day on the computer -- sometimes, I only have a few minutes -- and I visit four forums and have three email accounts so I get stressed out if too many people send me emails. I think, if I were retired, I would feel differently, but I have another 15 years in the work force before that happens. Anyway, you are more than welcome for my help, and you don't have to keep thanking me, but I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I really do enjoy passing on what I learned and am happy to help others, and everyone here at Dave's is extraordinarily nice.
By the way, in case you want to read my two articles that I wrote, they are published at http://www.plumerias.com Look for Clare's Garden at the bottom left under PlumeriaPals. The pdf versions have more pictures than the web versions, and you can download the pdf version to your hard drive to save for future reference if you wish.
