I have no idea why, 'Chris DiPaola' was the person who started the ancestor to 'Celeste rumor'.

Thank you for sharing.

When you can please share closeup photos of the leaves taken this year, at different times of the year, the later in the year leaves are the most important ones to get photos of. That is when they say the leaves are best to use for identification.
