I just want to take a moment to reach out to my special friends who are on this list. I don't have emails for some of you so thought this would fill in.

On Christmas we all think of family and friends who are dear to us and who mean so much. Since I'm a little short on the family, my long-time Hippi friends from this list have become like family to me. I am very lucky to have forged such dear friendships over beautiful blooms in crinkly brown wrappers! You are dear to me.

To the newer members of this list, this is a very special forum, and aside from exchanging advice and thoughts on Hippeastrum, it is a place to exchange KINDNESS...the gift that is appropriate for every day! So...to all my dear friends who live near and very far away...Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. And...for the friends on the list I have yet to make...enjoy the wealth of information this forum offers and treat everyone on the list as you would wish to be treated!
