Dave, it was great to finally meet you (after all the years we've been together...)
Carol and I did enjoy your lecture so much. Afterwards we roamed the gardens; will have to come back to see the roses in bloom.
I will have to get the birdbath cleaned and put my prize copper coin in it. Thanks for the prize!
You mentioned growing and eating gourds; I grow the angled luffa gourd aka Chinese okra/sze gwa and did not realize that it becomes a luffa until recently. We've always brought them at the Oriental store and cooked them before they ever become luffa.
Jay, it was good to met you and Donna. I've been enjoying all the lovely photos that you posted here and your wealth of information on Texas plants.
