I have a picture of my "Gubler Nep" on a website for anyone interested
at the following:

I guess mine has a heavy alata influence, but I'm not much into growing
Neps. It seems to grow pretty easily and survives despite constant
neglect. The rest of the website is mostly finished but I still need to
get some pictures developed and scanned for my "Outdoor Bog" section,
but feel free to look around and give me any comments on what I have. I
do have some pretty good pictures of my blue flava on the site.
Hopefully the color will show up as well as it does on my monitor. And
I'm still working on the site, so it changes regularly.

Also, can anyone tell me how to unsubscribe to the list? (I'm changing
jobs at the end of next week - wahooo!)
