Ah well.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818111801666078642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531989186587247129.post-74255239570066738322007-04-10T11:42:00.000-05:002007-04-10T11:42:00.000-05:00Dawn, perhaps the plant lyn never is thinking abou...Dawn, perhaps the plant lyn never is thinking about has a similar name that starts with the letter 'L', the glossy ligustrum?
