There is some question about a complete definition of epigeal and hypogeal. The definitions in the Glossary at: http://www.shieldsgardens.com/info/Glossary.html I took from Edward McRae's book, "Lilies." Some folks find them incomplete, not applicable to other plant families. My friend cites a textbook that gives cherry as an example of epigeal and peach as an example of hypogeal. Anyone have a good definition for me? Jim ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
