Dear Dr. Parmar,
I ran across this old e-mail note today, and could not find any
evidence that I ever replied or otherwise took action on it. I don't
often respond to list mail because I get quite a lot of it at times
and it would add to the volume of e-mail replies that I must deal
with. But today I wondered whether anyone ever responded to you with
advice on germinating miracle fruit seeds. More important, did you
realize any success at it? One person I know who has had mixed results
experimenting with miracle fruit seed germination is John Panzarella
of Lake Jackson, Texas. I'm sending him a copy of this note so that
you and he can correspond directly.
Also, this afternoon I was browsing files of possible articles and
found another note of yours among those--a note that had been
forwarded to me by Richard Ashton. The topic was red guavas with white
flesh. I was interested in knowing more about this at the time that I
received it, but my mother had passed away only a couple of days
earlier, so I was not at my best in terms of looking after matters
that needed attention. The upshot is that I failed to file it
properly. Richard also sent me three small photos embedded in a text
document, which I still have (they are attached). This all caused me
to wonder whether you might have developed an article about these
unusual guavas or, if you have not, whether you might consider doing so.
Please give me your thoughts at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
