Hello Jim, Do you have miasma or Mias Ma? Perhaps some of us are challenged in general. Perhaps some of us are frightened of long names and perhaps some of us (no name shall be mentioned)have no clue; for it is all we can do to spell Oxalis. Ah, O.X.A.L.I.S. is that one or two L's? Is it a plant,flower or weed? Um, I was just wondering which is better, newploids, oldploids or that thing on T.V. called the noid? The honest truth, I wouldn't know if you misspelled or miss typed. I don't catch on until some one points out a "miss" because I didn't know there was a double flowered Tiger Lilly. Thank you and everyone for your contributions. In case nobody noticed,I was poking fun at myself for not noticing what was probably obvious to everyone else.
