| What a nicely grown plant! I have a story... Many years ago - I confess - I stole a leaf from an AV that my colleague was growing on a windowsill. It was my first one that I grew - started it in water myself and it did well for me. So - one day year later- I stopped by and told the guy what I did. And gave him an Optimara Dali for compensation. He is still growing both of them even if he doesn't work in the same office anymore. So - Mr. Dali is very pretty and tough as nails. irina |

| Thank you, irina! And great story! Good for you for being so honest and good fortune for your co-worker! I will also confess to having pinched a leaf from a violet at an office I was visiting a few months ago. It has recently sprouted a new baby, but I rather doubt that anyone even noticed the leaf was missing or would be interested in compensation, though I'd be glad to if I thought they would. |

| Sue - several years later I borrowed his plant wih his permission - and got the best prize in a Dog show. It was a very healthy and abundantly blooming very long stalk palm tree. After the show I cut it off and rerooted it for him. It is probably even longer now. Irina |
