Hi all.

Found this site while searching for info about Musa Siam Ruby Red.
Have retired to the west of BKK twice now, LoL.

4 years back in the violence of Sydney convinced me to return to Thailand, with all it's warts and corruption & very dodgey pollies, but very little violence.

Hope to learn more about growing bananas in large containers as space is restricted at my house in Krathum Lom.

cheers :)

Tog,

I now it's a long shot but I thought I would take it. Do you happen to know a Eric Simon from your city? He is a professional with Orchids and Bougainvillea? I know there are millions in your city but sometime in gardening circles the world becomes very small. I have lost contact with him and he was sick at the time, so I am a concerned about his state of health.

Tog,

Thanks for your quick response. Eric is someone I met from a book he had published about Bougainvillea. He is very knowledgeable about Bougainvillea, and we had formed a friendship over a short period of time. He had been having troubles with his ISP off and on for a while, and I lost contact last September I guess it was. I appreciate you help. Thanks.

Again, thank you for the welcome.

I was saddened by the untimely death of Tog Tan.

What a guy and a great contributor, & who was the first to welcome me!

Tog Tan! :)
