Extreme humidity

[Farrell]

Oops. My mistake. I understand now the the plants were growing in POTS,
rather than being your referral regarding the particular species of plant.
Same mistake with the roaches. The species I was referring to are not
commonly considered animals, but rather were once part of the plant kingdom,
and now are somewhat torched and tarry. Sorry I misread your post. I guess I
wasn't being very scientific either.
