I'm off to look more deeply into my theory...

I can only imagine what your threads will now be sounding like to prove your theory ... Royal

I do believe what you are saying is true .. they are triggered by key words .. Maybe it has to do with the number of times certain words are also used ..
I am sure Marty would (might) know

Hi Burr,

I bought a couple books but they have not been as informative as the information you can get here at OB. Just post the pictures and ask questions. You'll for sure get advice and answers. We love to see the pictures and it is very helpful for giving answers. You can always Google the name of your plant and get some info from a few growers about it. Good Luck.
