Re: Amorphophallus konjac will bloom!

From: Betsytrips at aol.com on 1999.05.23 at 04:00:22(3388) Perhaps Walter one can look about and glean the rewards and innovations of others in other areas and then apply and alter to one's own benefit. I too live in an area of the country where it is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I have found by being willing to look, listen and observe, one can make adjustments that make it easier to grow that which we wish to grow. And yes, it can be expensive and at times, difficult. The rewards can be great. I have found that I can grow things that they in south Florida say they cannot. I do believe that often the attitude is the determining factor. One non success does not necessarily make a failure. Try and try again until one comes to the conclusion, for now, this is not in the successful agenda. I know Julius seemed amazed that I had grown dracontium from seed. I was shocked that he could be surprised. I had no problem. Would I have tried if I had known that it was 'impossible' to do? I did not know it was impossible and low and behold, I have done it many times. You see, look at the glass half full and you can learn that what you don't know at times can be to your benefit. Believe. Do without expectations. Go with the intuition. Amazing things happen! Good growing with much joy. Betsy
