Re: [AGA-Member] Very Big Swords

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Good observation, Rich,

To it I'd add that sometimes the magic works and sometimes
. . . 

Well, it' s bit of luck, I think, to get the rosette to
send up and support new growth when it can't carry on any
photosynthesis at all. But then, a lot of plants start out
that ways ;-) With some remaining leaves, the "recovery" is
faster. 

Btw, just out of curiosuity, which "Kleiner bar" plant did
you get? The little plant that stays little (the little
bear) or the big one one that's been passing and that so
many vendors seem to be to proferring?
