Many years ago when I was in college, I took a course called plant biology. There are two words that I remember from that course: monocotyledon and di cotyledon. I wish I had paid more attention back then. But as I read the posts of this forum, I have learned so much! So when some cuttings arrive, I will know exactly what do. Perhaps plant biology will come back to me ( highly doubtful, but one can have hope). But in the meantime, thank you for sharing! __________________ Smaritza Bronx, NY Wishing for: Ronde de Bordeaux, Aubique Petit, Pananas Purple, Longue d Aout, Lebanese Red, Ischia Black, Scott's Black, Martineca Rimada, Tarantella, Jolly Tiger, Nero,

I think we all wish we would have paid more attention in class......... but there was that tempting thing called a social life.... I've been here quite some time and still have much to learn! It will be fun to watch your collection grow! Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California. "First year they sleep, Second year they creep, Third year they leap!"

Well,,,,,,If my I.Q. was as great as my fig collection I would be considered a rocket scientist. But I'm still trying to figureout how to place squares into circles.

Those of us without a social life concentrated on biology. As was said of Hawkeye by BJ Honeycut: he's so preoccupied with it, because he's not occupied with it. __________________ Dale non compost mentis in Zone 6a
