Yeah, I remember, but Mayeaux is easy to pronounce, just like saying pass
the Mayo. At least around here that's how it is pronounced. Try Billedeaux,
or Courville, or one of the many variations on Peveteaux. The Nicotiana
bloomed well and was most memorable for the evening scent. You sent enough
seed to plant around the doorway for the next ten years. You must be a
compulsive seed saver like my daughter, if it has a seed she saves it.

At 30F we can hardly move for the clothes we have on. I do better in
deserts than in Michigan. Passed up a job once in Alma, Michigan, the
Middle of the Mitten. Plant manager told me they had deeper snow and colder
weather in January than Anchorage, Alaska. I had just left Anchorage for
southern climes.
