Thanks for the link to the photo, Steve. It's very interesting to see
asparagus what asparagus looks like after it's grown past the eating
stage. I've heard of and have seen 'asparagus fern' (house) plants, and
I didn't think there'd be a resemblance between the two. Now I can see
there is a vague similarity.

Unfortunately, since I use the German news server, I am not able to
access ABF or any binary newsgroup for that matter (which is OK for
me). Thanks again for posting the link.

Sky, whose curiousity has been satisfied <G>
