| All of my siblings and a couple of my cousins have done the Ancestry test. It is pretty facinating. My older sister is very into genealogy, so she hunts down all the leads for relatives. I recently sent in the 23 and Me test because it has more health related resuts on one of their tests. Theresa

HI Jesse, Don’t be sorry – if it hadn’t happened I never would have heard from you! I think you, Donna, and Tricia, must be related – all that energy! Speaking of related, I just did the Ancestry DNA test. Has anyone else ever done that? Kitty From: owner-gardenchat@hort.net [mailto:owner-gardenchat@hort.net] On Behalf Of Jesse Bell

Subject: Re: [CHAT] Jesse Bell Hi Kitty...and everybody! Sorry about the fake e-mail. I certainly didn't do it. Good to hear from you all! I've been working in my gardens a lot lately, it's good for my soul. I thought we're supposed to slow down when we get older? This is not happening for me! I'm busier than I've ever been! I now manage my mother's 24 rental units, have a full time job, a farm and an Etsy shop where I try to squeeze out art e dry now and then!

That's it! Thank you so much. It is a most satisfactory plant for me - don't know why I couldn't remember the name - old age I guess. In a message dated 6/3/2017 2:51:19 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, 1*@rewrite.hort.net writes: RE: Could it be Saruma henryi
Chris, I sometimes miss your postings because of your reverse format. So I didn't see this at first. I knew my mention of Stylophorum couldn't be right (leaves wrong) but I just took a stab at it.
The Saruma looks lovely; I can see why Auralie likes it. I'd like to try it myself sometime, though at his point, can't. I lost almost all of my shade last fall and I'm scrambling to protect what I have.

Hi Auralie,
I'm sorry about your hip! I hope things get better for you and that teenager shows up.

Could it be Saruma henryi?

If so, I'm jealous. I tried growing it here, but it never seemed to thrive. I could never get more than a couple of years out of a plant.
