I understand completely, Will. You do know I have a tropical plant business, right?

I live in a temperate zone, not in a subtropical zone. I have to utilize greenhouses during the fall/winter months because we get down in the 20's quite frequently. During the present seven-day period, we will have six mornings in the mid to upper 20's. All my tropical plants stay outside under trees during the spring/summer months. The only thing I use my greenhouse for then is to start vegetables, root plumeria, and cure my garlic. My greenhouses get far too hot, even with doors and vents open, four fans running, and heavy shading. About the only plants suitable would be the cacti, but I don't grow them.

Do you grow/sell/care for any of the epiphytic plants? That's my real love.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
