Stop Thief..............

To get some PR going about my Aglaonema hybrids I labeled a couple of the specimens in the hotel lobby. Two hours later the labels were gone. Probably some jealous researcher. So in 30+ years ---- no PR attempts by me have succeeded. Probably too late to either get upset or try again.
At least they were noticed..........................grrrrrr...................

Easy drive down not much traffic.......parking was easy and free........that was a major suprise....
