Hmmm, that reminds me, Allan, I have an affinity for herbal medicine and houseplants, as well as some outdoor plants *talk* to me. I know which ones like to be next to each other and where they will grow the best within whatever house they live.

My brother taught horticulture at college and and i've never really studied it much at all. Yet, he has always marveled at how I have rare plants fromt he rain forest and elsewhere which bloom constantly. I remember in particularly, my old gardenia would not bloom, even would go yellow, if I didn't have it next to a certain other plant, I think it was my old hibiscus or plumbago.

Anyway, it's kind of neat...I just *feel* what is right or what they want and do it. Some people fuss over them too much. Mine suffer from benign neglect and thrive.:-)
