Re: MONOCARPIC

Dear Hermine,

I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The topic of monocarpic succulents originally came up in the Hardycacti_etc
forum as a result of my posting an article I had written on Hesperaloe in
response to questions about that genus. The topic is still being discussed
in that forum. Now the topic has moved onto Yucca and monocarpic
arborescent species.

John Gamesby has borrowed the subject for the Succulentsasahobby forum and
would have been considerate if he had mentioned his source for his
inspiration. It seems rather ironic that he would do such a thing
considering he is the one who has banned me from his own now slumbering
forums for something he perceives as an inappropriate posting in some forum
not one of his. It seems he doesn't follow his own code of ethics. I've
never given myself credit for the efforts of others. Its amazing that he
can take something already said in one forum and make it appear his own
idea in another.

I was even supportive of his forums and answered those question that now go
unanswered. So much for gratitude. I suppose he has his reasons for what he
does. You know better than I do. So much for Sansevieria pie.

Perhaps John could post the same question in his own long dormant
Other_succulents forum to bring it back to life?

Sempervivum and Jovibarba are monocarpic too. Perhaps it could be a topic
for discussion in the rather quiet Sedums-sempervivums forum as well?

I hope people are not confusing monocarpic with monopodal. They don't mean
the same thing.

Many orchids are monocarpic. but i KNOW some of my plants which have
flowered, have continued to live and produce lusty new foliar growth.

 What does original have to do with anything?
