Hi Jim,

   I suppose it depends on what the qualifying factor is.  When a plant
   thrives in a subtropical area, is it because of the high humidity?
   Or is it the amount of rainfall?  Does a Mediterranean plant need
   more air to dry out the crowns?

   So I guess my point is that for me, I couldn't create a database 
   field without knowing what cultural factors determined a plant's
   life or death.
