Re: Summertime...

Hey Jim and all

You raised a question I have been wondering for a while. Perhaps a
stupid question but what kind of plant is green tea from? and are you
saying that black tea is a camelia? I had no idea.

and the livin' is easy. Maybe. But whatever. It seems to have suddenly 
arrived, easy or not. It's been in the low 80s for a week or so and the 
forecast is for it to remain so for the foreseeable future. Lots of 
stuff is blooming, but there always is here--orchids, begonias, petrea, 
jatropha, on and on.

I just saw an interview with the guy that established the Honest T 
company. It raised a question for me--since tea is the dried leaf of a 
camellia species, I wonder if I'll be able to grow one in Oregon. I 
tried here a couple of times and couldn't, too warm. Might be fun to 
really do it.
