Obviously, I do! Did you get the shells I mailed out yet? There are fallen coconuts all over the place here. People love coconut palms around here...understandably so, they have such a graceful, tropical look but are prolific in their nut production.

I came up with the idea just because they're everywhere...and sometimes they wash up, busted open, as "driftwood" on the beach and have these great husky fibers poking out, perfect for roots to grab onto. I'm also a big fan of coir, so I thought it was a perfect addition to the collection and a way to "recycle" all these coconuts everywhere.

What's your story? I'm all ears!
