I'm Buddhist and I can somehow find it to say
"Merry Christmas" when in the stores, while the people with all the decorations
in their carts are pushing to the front of the line.

I hope you've had the chance to see the Chinese family in the Marina district,
SF, who every Christmas celebrates by putting enormous, well-lighted plastic
divinities, about 8, on their lawn. They're probably Taoist, but they bring
you up short with a grin--at least they do me.

What do you mean by "bring you up short with a grin...?"

We have a Christian pastor on the block. I do two food drives each year for a secular
serving center associated with our city (Round Rock, TX) and when the Christian pastor
found our I was Buddhist, he stopped giving a few cans of food. How nice.

Don't know. He was so rude to us even my husband (who couldn't care less what people
think of him or me) was flawed!

Eh. These are the people I learn the most from.

I enjoy the sight of people who cock a snook at, as they seem to go along with,
the blenderized holiday that most Americans are supposed to celebrate.

Every one genuflect if you have been blessed with a gift.

Please, if anyone here has received seeds and/or plants from me, a really
nice
thing would be to minimally respond with a note of reception.

From now on, I will only send out plants and seeds to known people who
actually
appreciate it.

What sort of seeds and plants do you send out?

That's not close to what I said. I would have liked a simple, "got the seeds" or "got the
plants." I don't think that's too much to ask in lieu of the many, many seeds and plants
I send out annually to people all over the world.

What have you done lately?

Many. Datura, brugmansia, cacti, guara, salvia of all sorts, many different types of
wildflowers, Pride of Barbados, canna, lantana, liriope, iris, grasses...many.

Well, I've never asked you for anything, but I do want to thank you for
sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. And if I ever ask you to
send me a seedling or something, rest assured you will at least get a
hand-written thank you note back.

Cheers.

Victor, it would be my delight if ever I mention something you want or need! I would hand
deliver it, myself.

Trade you some Yellow Canna for some Datura... ;-)

I'd rather do trades. I'm not comfortable getting stuff for free.

ROFL! So do I... ;-)
I could send you some wild Tarot, but it's not the edible type...

Howsabout any herbal starts?
I have extra Thyme, creeping thyme and oregano.

Bomba and Elodia (water plants) are also available to me.
It'd give me an excuse to go snorkeling. G

Datura needs direct sun right? I have space in the herb garden on the
Western Exposure. My herbs do well there!

Then there is the pot of Horse Radish that propagated itself this year,
but you can get that from any grocery store.
