Re: plant sampling/allergies

Liane -- I don't mean to start a war between you and your neighbor, but it
might be that she's allergic to her dog or cat rather than your plants.
Find out who this "someone" is and what they think they are looking for.
I'd want to know this person's qualifications and get a second opinion
before I'd accept their findings.  And if it IS one of your plants, well,
there are LOTS Of beautiful plants in the world and you have only one (or
two) neighbors.  I'd try a new plant.
