Canna Tiki Torch
Found this at the site:
My name is Dennis Bishop, I am a partly disabled Vietnam Vet (30%). I live on a fixed monthly income that is made up of VA payment and SDI payment. This is just enough to allow me to pay my rent, and other bills and to get what food supplys I can during the month. I live in a small trailer park in Rosamond, CA. and to reach the one super market in town, I eather have to walk the 5 miles each way, or try to catch a ride with someone as I have No Car. In order to get a good car, one which can pass smog and I can get tags for, I need at lest $500.00. Car prices out here are high. So any Donations, be they big or small, to help me reach the goal of buying a good car, can be sent to: Dennis Bishop 470 20th ST West #23 Rosamond, CA. 93560 ************************************************* Found this at another site: Mr.Dennis Bishop's Profile » Amateur photographer » Member since Sat, 17 Aug 2002 » Gallery Last Name: Bishop First Name: Dennis Zodiac Sign: Not specified.

Yep, that's me and I don't hide it either. Had a car for awhile, used every cent
I could muster to keep it running, but it's now sitting in the local junk yard as scrap after the engine gave out on me and was unfixable. As you will also note, there no Zodiac Sign listed, for a good reson as I'm also an amature Astronomer ( notice the Telescope Buyers FAQ listed at the end ) and don't take stock in that at all. And before someone says that if I could afford a telescope I should be able to get a car, my telescope " Babylon 8 " was a full fledged " Internet " project, as almost all the parts for it where donated to me, over a 4.5 year time and all that it cost me from my pocket has been less than $50.00. BTW, 98% of the 200+ Iris I have in my iris garden ( http://desert-iris.netfirms.com/ ) where given to me as left overs from people's gardens, sales, etc. My canna comes from the supply of canna seeds I had been saving for many long years of the past and now they are slowly being grown. BTW, where was that 2nd set of data at? -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

Kind of looks just like Robert Kemp to me.

Canna Tiki Torch
Who or what is Robet Kemp?
This canna was found growing by itself on the lands of an old empty homestead on Oahu Hawaii, I saved seeds and dug rhizomes from the site, then during the class 5 Hurricane that hit Hawaii, a landslide covered the site with a few million tons of rock and dirt, you can't even get back to the site anymore, I tried. I've been growing the seeds and the rhizomes since. This place was back in the hills, no one had lived there for 60 to 70 years, house was all but destroyed by the time I found the place on a walk along an old path. There where no other canna's growing anywhere near the place, the canna where living on the rain fall water they got. So as the finder of it, and not seeing any other canna just like it on the market, I've named it and now this one canna seller is selling it for me. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

Canna Tiki Torch
From the reseach I was able to do while I lived over there, that most canna that
was on the islands came over as seeds and rhizomes from the ships that stopped there for fresh water. The TT canna is what is called a speices canna, as it's seeds just grow more TT's. Being that the nearest canna was over 5 miles away and was one of those "Self Cleaning Type " does not set seeds, I figure this canna had just itself to breed with for a long time. Last time I was on their web site I had to exit it as they now have active x control programmed into it and because of all the data I have on my machine, I don't allow that or any script to run. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.
