I do not exaggerate when I say this is the most thrilling article on HelpMeFind I've ever read! A great adventure story, a great science story, a wonderful breeder's story. Plus all the extras: dangerous Naga officials, roses so big they look like elephants, gigantic strange plants inching their way up trees, lost children of great colonial explorers-- and finally, two fascinating Indian hybridizers who not only bring the whole story full-circle, but who touch off a great search for hot-climate roses. Absolutely delightful reading!

Wonderful article. I was wondering if you could post a photo of your "Gigantica". It sounds marvelous.
