Donald - I just might be older than anyone could imagine. Anyway, since you liked my story I'm going to tell you the beginning. (Bypass it if you like. I won't know.)

One day I'm driving home from somewhere. Austin was much smaller than so I'm kinda driving thru some older neighborhoods. I noticed an old geezer gentleman trying to have a plant sale with what appeared to be very little luck. Well I had to stop b/c who doesn't love a plant sale?

Didn't even see a darned thing I liked. So the gentleman hands me a small little plant in a 4" pot, says he thinks I'll like it and it blooms at night and smells real nice. So what the heck. For a dollar or so I figure I'll make him happy and I buy it. Take it home and told my NDH about it.

Year or 2 goes by and we have one monster of a plant and full of blooms. So the moral to this and most of my stories is 'ya just never know'.
