Re: [AGA Member] Pellia
If not, how about a round up of people's experience -- not
as good but not bad?
I could ask the Texas crew and maybe Bailin could give them
a word of encouragement or two too. I could reach out to
Shireen Gonzaga and maybe Kwek Leong -- I think he's had
pretty good luck with it.
Anybody else grow, try to grow, or know soeone who tried to
grow? Send me how ever much you're willing to write (index
cards, notes on napkins, dictaphone tapes, etc.) about it
and I'll pull it together into something. This would be
more of a review and summary than _Stranded_ is.
Of course a full piece with expertise (i.e., by a Pellia
expert) would be nice instead, but I'm willing to take a
crack at this other route. Comments anyone?
I assume this isn't a rush job :-\
