    I think I found a home to fit it... I sure love to garden and grow from seed... I am a retired heavy equipment operator, happily married, mom to 5 wonderful kiddos who are all on their own paths, and grandma to many little people...I am into a growing different banana plants, palms, brugs, tropical hibiscus, plumaria, adeniums and the list goes on..
    I am studying on my own grafting... I have a great desire to graft a hardy gardenias to magnolias.

    Welcome, Peggy, from cold, coastal mid-Norway! It sounds like you'll fit right in. :D Any other hobbies, pets and such? Your grafting adventure sounds exciting.

    Hello peggy. A good friendly bunch here.
    Do keep us updated on how well your grafting does. Maybe you could show picts and help us learn along the way. Pull up a chair and stew a while.

    Hey Pretty Lady! Sounds like you're growing a few familiar plants to Barbados...that's great. Good luck with the grafting, guess I can learn a thing or two.
