Hello All, I am affraid that I'm a little confused as to what's going on on this list, but I am sure that it will soon be sorted out and will be very productive. I am resending my message of a few days ago which I sent direct to Diana Pederson. Please will someone say if its OK to send messages to <sansevierias@coolist.com> or what procedure to use pro tem. Regards, George de Verteuil in Trinidad.

Diana and others, This is my first contribution since joining this group some two weeks ago. Hope that the computer technical problems get sorted out OK and soon. Also, I don't know what's involved, but do hope that soon it will be possible to broadcast in one daily bulletin all the messages contributed in the style of the Cacti_etc list. I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the southern Caribbean where the average daytime temp is about 30-34 deg C and nighttime 20-25 deg C. There is very little variation during the year. The main feature of our climate is the difference between Wet Season (mid May to mid Dec) and Dry Season (Jan to May). Naturally, Sans grow well outside all year round. There's lots more I would like to say, but suggest that this be left to a later time when the communications are sorted out. Am delighted to see that Juan Chahinian is with us. I just acquired Juan's book on the S.t. varieties and read it cover to cover. Very facinating and its great reading. Today I received my copy of N.E. Brown's 1915 monograph. Hope that you have all been following the thread on Cacti_etc on Chimeras re variegated S. t. I recall reading a fine article by Juan in a CSSA Journal a couple years ago which seemed to explain the development and propagation of the S. t. variteies very well. This could be a great discussion group and hope it goes from strength to strength. All the best from tropical Trinidad. George de Verteuil
