@zuzu - now that you popped the Abelia bubble, what in the double dang heck are we supposed to do? Delete all mention of the plant once known as abelia and never let it darken our doorsteps again?
Did you study taxonomy and all things botany in Northern California? My high school in Smithville, Texas, only gave us a choice between Spanish and Study Hall, so I conjugated verbs for 2 years. Waste of time. Can't speak a lick of Spanish b/c we never learned any nouns or adjectives, etc. But I digress. What I'm getting round to asking you is where I might learn at least a little bit about what you told us about abelia. (Gotta keep the word 'abelia' in this thread so I don't have to start a new one. Sneaky, eh?) Have a feeling it would be nice to be a little conversant in All Things Plant Talk. Seriously. Is there a good reference type book, link, mind meld or whatever that you could suggest for beginners? (Dang it again. Can't conjugate abelia b/c it's not a verb.)
Thanks!
