Re: CULT: potting Louisianas

From: "Patrick O'Connor" <swamp@ix.netcom.com>

Dennis,

I have left Louisianas in water and had the water freeze on top.  No
problem.  I would be dubious about leaving them in pots in your area,
however.  I can't say that they would not make it, but a really hard freeze
would represent conditions that they never encounter in the wild.
