Re: Name for Giraffe Knee

From: "Sampson" <wiz at texas.net> on 1999.02.22 at 04:47:09(3054) Peter, Julius, other persons on the list, I wanted to let you know that I must not have been too clear on talking about this G. bovinii that I have growing, I meant to say in this paragraph you quoted from my statement to Peter, that the plant I got from the gardens here, if it is rare, that it should go back to the collection. It was not meant to be any reference to Peter's plants leaving Kew. I would indeed feel badly and irresponsible if I kept a plant that should be kept at the gardens by the experts. I wouldn't do that. Just wanted to clear that up, so there wouldn't be a misunderstanding. Sometimes it is hard to convey the thoughts here on the computer, and things don't always come out the way I intended. Lucy Sampson +More wiz@texas.net Wiz the grey says-Let me call you sweetheart, I love you (then a puckery kiss sound)and come back here girls! A boy after my own heart, I do say that is quite a guy--- >If the G. boivinii had been given to you by Josef Bogner from Munich so long ago, is this a rare plant at all? May be best if kept in the botanical gardens collection then. It would certainly be interesting to see it in the grey shade as well. The leaves on this are a very deep green. Have you had many tubers created in the years you have had that green G. boivinii, or are they hard to propagate? <
