Thanks for the compliments, Rob. Good to see you back on here. Was beginning to worry about where you went off to... Tell you what, if you could make it down here sometime within the next month or so, I would give you a potted Manihot that I have. I have several that volunteered and I dug them up and potted them. I have given away 3 or 4, but I still have a couple that I was going to pot up this weekend. Would be happy to save one for you... Email me if you are interested.... If not, I will be happy to send you some seeds, but from my understanding, for some reason, they are extremely hard to get to germinate. This amazed me as they volunteer so easily for me... I have had this one for about 4 years now and it comes back for me every year with only mulch. This spring, I did not cut it back as hard as I usually do and left about 3' of trunk/stem, or whatever you want to call it and it took off and is about twice as large as it normally is for this time of year... This is my mom's favorite of all my plants, and I would ALMOST have to agree, but that changes for me from day to day!!! LOL
