Member's Question Spotlight...
Hello Banana Buddies:
This thread will be a chance for members to get to know each other, and answer a series of questions. The person who is answering the questions will then get to pick the next person to put in the spotlight, and so on. You cannot answer the questions unless you are chosen, and you must answer all of them, but feel free to have fun with it too.
It is best if you can copy and paste the questions in your post, and then just add your own answers, so people can easily read them. If you're picked and you really don't want to participate, you can choose to put someone else in your place and pass. Hopefully people will have fun with this though, and enjoy.
I will begin by answering the questions myself, and then picking the person who will be up next. People can feel free to comment on people's answers as well. Someone may have to notify the next chosen person, if they don't realize they are in the spotlight.

MY ANSWERS:
1. Why did you choose your screen name? What is your real name? (optional).............................What can I say - I love Hollyberry shrubs!!!! When I was a child, my mom grew this gorgeous specimen by the backdoor, and I was fascinated by it. It was always covered in bright red berries. I have four shrubs currently, but there will likely be more in the very near future. My real name is Sherrylynn, but pals call me Sherr or Sherry. 
2. Why did you join IBS?................................because Beth made me crazy with envy when she started chatting about banana plants on another forum. Wanted to learn about them, and see if I could grow one. 
3. What's your favorite banana plant?...................................Anything red, red, and more red! Siam Ruby is likely my favorite right now. 
4. One thing people don't know about me is.................................I sponsor an 11 year old little African girl named Khadijah, who lives in the slums of Mombasa, and have done so for over two years now. I intend on looking after her until she can look after herself. 
5. My hobbies are...............................indoor and outdoor gardening, cycling, chess, reading, story writing, seed collecting and germinating, plant experiments, cooking, baking, picture taking,
and hanging with pals.

No but seriously, I would have two huge greenhouses built, and a great big huge sunroom and porch, on a beautiful cobblestone house with tons of skylights for all my plants.
13. One place I'd love to go is..........................................any place where I won't be beaten, stalked, raped, kidnapped, mugged, framed, or killed!
