Even though I'll probably be on O'ahu during the conference, I don't really have the kala to hele on over and attend the festivities so it was an idle threat on my part...I'll have to take a rain check on dinner.

As for the import plants, it will be about 4 years before I'll be able to divide any of them and by gadfree I'll have the Kwang well before then :twisted:

But then again you do have about the only other species that I'm seeking, now don't you :evil:

Bill, all is well as I have confirmed that there is a Kwangsiensis tagged for me, to be shipped in a few weeks. All is well for ME at least as I'm not sure where this leaves YOU on the quaratine plants. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Brad,

Did you go whining to Uncle Ned to get your bamboo? :crybaby:

Seriously, I am glad you got one. :thumbup:

I put the Bash. q. on an automatic watering system yesterday so hopefully I will get a lot of rhizome growth.

Bill

PS You would have gotten the "Uncle Ned" reference if you were at the convention last year.
