This is a good topic, Sheri.  How about taking it to the organic list    "Organic-Gardening"
<organic-gardening@lists.ibiblio.org>  instead of taking it offlist?  Then we can all enjoy it.  Share your photos, too, at Send photos for GWL to gwlphotos@hort.net to be posted

I just want to let everyone know that when I was in Chicago the
Botanical Garden had a cacao tree in bloom. It had two pods on it. Since
my article and photos just went to Florida Gardening I climbed up on the
ledge and took more photos.

Now here is the amazing part. I have been growing Theobroma cacao for
three years in a pot here in Indiana, indoors. Today as I was watering
my plants I noticed a bloom! This is so cool. Now, I am hoping for a
pod.

Please send any comments off list.

Thanks,
Sheri
