![]() Here is one of my clumps from a few years ago....
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My clump got set back this year for some reason and only got about half its normal height of about 10-12'. I think I cut too many divisions off the mat last year and then the coldest/wettest winter I have seen in 5 years didn't help!!!! I have not touched it this year and will apply extra mulch and hopefully it will bounce back next summer!!! |

![]() Wow....just realized that Randy and Frank are two separate people. I mean, I've seen the names and knew they were different, but their avatars are so similar it seems I've been confusing the two for ages!!! What a situation!

![]() Frank what do you think it is? I'm no expert for sure and have to rely on whatever the person that I got it from tells me it is. This one was an eBay purchase coming from Louisiana. It was a stub when I got it this past summer, but there was lot of peachy pink on the pstem. ??????

Bryan, you do reaalize that if we were one in the same, my mom would not be around anymore... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Got 'cha, FRANK!!! Seriously though, Frank and I are good friends and I would do anything for him and I know he feels the same. We are only about an hour away from each other. Great guy and one of my mentors!!! Thanks for confusing us!!! Don't think Frank would feel the same, but I am flattered!!! LOL |

![]() One other thing that I just thought of that I think is pretty cool!!!! All the bananas you see of Austin and Frank and I are all from the same mat!!!! This mat of velutina is getting around, huh!?!?! Hope there will be some more folks on here that have some from the same mat as I know there are quite a few out there!!! Kinda start a pic gallery of their family "tree" !!!

![]() Oh, Randy, you are such a funny guy! Thanks, buddy. I don't know about being a mentor though, lol. You are about 40 years older than me, right?
