I wonder what the distribution site managers do with all the extra Extras? Also, it is on the Miami-Dade County Controlled Species list (see http://www.miamidade.gov/derm/controlled_plants.asp), as an invasive exotic in native hammocks, so maybe the combination of factors would be an influence.Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-57474311865388209442010-02-10T13:29:33.002-05:002010-02-10T13:29:33.002-05:00I'm enjoying experimenting with the canistels ...I'm enjoying experimenting with the canistels and I hope I'm giving folks useful ideas.

I'm voting for canistel, however. You should get a medal for your valiant attempts to creatively use it, rather than leaving it in the Extras box (which was my cowardly solution this past weekend).
