Andrew, your canaliculatum's flowers are beautiful. Now if you could just figure out a way to be a true pal and ship it over here to me. I don't think our customs people are members of any brain trust, so just write "asparagus" or the name of some other vegetable on the package and I think it's got a good chance of getting through (to be honest, you could probably write "anthrax" on the package and it still might get here). How big is the plant? Would you mind taking a picture of it some time, please?

Yeah, I think my speciosum is a pretty happy plant. And moving around a lot has been good for my biceps, I've discovered. My only worry is that it might one day topple from the back deck and crush one of my rose bushes. Very cool that you've had your plant since you were seven. That says quite a bit about your level of commitment.

You're lucky that you can grow Cym. suave like a weed. I'm very envious of that--although I'm not so sure that I'd be thrilled about having to deal with funnel-web spiders, redback spiders or the impressive variety of highly toxic snakes that your homeland is famous for (I actually like spiders and snakes, but I try to give a lot of space to the more cantankerous members of either family).
