Curiosity - period. All you had to say was that it was collected for
relocation
to the park's mountain garden, not act as a child and quote private
messages to the list. Grow up.

Ok, You wrote:

So obviously you were directly staring at the plant and my next curiosity was
"why was it dug up in the first place?" And rather than ask anything over
the list,
I asked you privately.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I collect plants from all
over the
south from private land with written landowner permission (which as I am sure
you must know, is perfectly legal) and I only take two plants from any
location.
I use these plants for my breeding stock. I also collect seed.
We have already done the "To collect or not to collect, that is the question"
> Not that anyone really cares, eh Tom?
Perry, yet again I say GROW UP and keep private, private.
Take care & keep on growing,
Thomas K. Hayes
