It did find a home just before the hurricane came. Thank God. It went down the street to be used as a stock plant for the Farmer's Market Nursery Dept. When I told them (good friends) I was going to let it die outside, they were here within the hour. I had stopped at their Market to pick up some fresh baked corn bread and told them about it. I was so happy. Then came Sandy. We can close this thread now.
Thanks for all your comments and Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
