Re: News release from NM PRO - kinda old
Hello Connie,
Perhaps your addiction is not as strong as you think.... mine is bad enough
that all I am after is the plant... source is not important as long as it is what
I am looking for, correctly ID'ed, healthy, and I can somehow find the money to
send the check. I will order from any one, any time they offer that elusive new
jewel I have been hunting. Suppose the thrill of the chase is there as much as,
sometimes more than, the actual plant received. On occasion the plant received is
not nearly as exciting as the path that led me there.
But then, I am one of those people who does not own a single T shirt with a
brand name on it for all to see, nor does my last vacation show up on my shirts.

might succeed in my garden.In another life time perhaps I would have

too?Must admit I saw the 'writing on the wall'when he appeared on Martha S..It was

not likely.I certainly recognize that he is not in business to supply the purchase
'whims'of a limited few,and wish him every success and dollar he can earn from

my addiction.
