We went to a flower arranging demo-the florist was using jasmine. Poor Michelle went home with puffy eyes and a runny nose. I had no problem. I think it does quite well here in California, so I look forward to planting some.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />MarjorieChemin des Muguetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949537173200688907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-74091660020890795712010-03-16T18:56:18.484-04:002010-03-16T18:56:18.484-04:00Hi Gigi,
