Thanks, Joe. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Yes, I did - and also emailed a link to the photos. Still waiting for
a reply. Likely they are taking off next week for Vet's Day, then the
following 2 weeks for Thxkgv, then there's Christmas. I hope to hear
back from them by 2009.
In the mean time, I'm taking some photos down to the local nursery and
will re****t back what they tell me.
