Hi, Tsuh and all,

I grow orchids and cacti. Do you think I could try to grow Pereskia too? I
would like to try, but before I ask for the seeds I want to ask what kind
of environment requirements it has, and how big it can get. 

I take everything outside for three seasons and bring them in before winter. 
If this plant hibernates in winter, that would be even better, but with the
name like "grandifolia" it probably does not. Anyway, I'm very interested.

Almost all of my cattleya hybrids orchids are blooming now. Some are in
dire need of dividing. I don't have room for "duplicates", so I'm looking
for good homes for them. If anyone from the list would like to try them, I
can send them to you - maybe towards the spring. Please, let me know and I
will save them for you.
