To Ranjit in Toronto
The following will NOT be in upper case. Your "onbservation" is taken to
heart. I too have never been to Brooklyn, only Manhattan, as you
haven't. However, I still object to the person jumping on the Listowner,
who made an honest mistake. If I see something in English, I wouldn't
assume that it came from the heavily LDS community in northern Mexico.
I'd feel that it came from the US OR most any part of the 1st world.
Now, let's get back to talking about plants. Do you know where I can
buy Lysichiton americanum? It should grow in your area.
Thanks,
