etc., and I don't know of anyone in my local area who partakes in this
type of hobby that I could give the plants to. I have a dozen or more
that range from several full size adults to smaller planlets. Is there
anyone in the Pheonix area on the list that would like some free
samples. I can't stand the thought of just tossing them out :(

John,
>From what I've experienced, if you offer them free on the list (and ask for
prepaid shipping boxes), you will get more offers than you can handle. There
are a bunch of people looking for almost any cp to grow.

Also, count on the occasional person who will get pissed-off at something you
do or don't do (like Barry's not-to-recent experience). I had someone get
upset that I would not find/purchase boxes to send them free cp. Go figure.
(As it was, I spent several hours packing plants and schlepping them to the
post office)
