Thanks all for your input to this query. I received the question out of the
blue, and just sent it on to Medit-Plants. I have been forwarding your
wisdom to Mr. Young, but have not heard from him as to whether he is talking
about a Tibouchina or a Pawlonia. I hope he will just read his Sunset
Western Garden Book, but Sean O'Hara did give him all the dope about joining
us on his own!
Yours faithfully, (and at least we got some discussion going during these
fallow times!)
