Kelseya uniflora

Fumi:
Hi John, Hi Franz
Thanks.  I guess I'll be really patient with this one.  Hopefully, I'll have enough germination and be able to test them to see what works.  If I'm lucky, I'll be back with some updates in a few months.

All this talk of food Mrs Young.....

Perhaps you'd better admit to the forum that you are far more 'professional' in the kitchen than you are letting on....

You probably thought that 'alpine' growers wouldn't reach the sunnier hills of St Lucia and your secret would be safe........

...but, oh no......

Maggi Young:
Bother! My secret is out! Now everyone knows.... yes, I must tell you now, that as a little girl in Berlin I saw my first Maggi product ( it was a packet of Chicken Noodle soup, as I fondly recall, and passed as gourmet fare from our cook) and I decided then and there that since someone had been good enough to name a food company after me, that I would henceforth spell my name as Maggi rather than the more usual Maggie! So you see, Cliff, the company isn't mine, it merely exists in tribute to my eating abilities!
Tremble, Pudsey Piglets, tremble!!

Not that any of this has anything to do with Kelseya uniflora... except that we once managed to preside overthe prolonged decline and passing of a truly venerable plant left to us by the late, great Jack Crosland.... it was very old and very large, which is probably why it took a long time to give up life.... we did our best, it just wasn't good enough. Not one of our prouder memories... the plant must have been ten or twelve inches across a dome... it never flowered well in our care because we didn't turn it enough, I think, and when we eventually decided it HAD to be repotted, the poor thing had just had too much, bless it. We have never felt worse about losing a plant. Sorry, Jack!
