My Plants

This will be an updated list of the boxes I’ve placed for others to find. I’m still assembling them all and trying to get status on them, since, for the most part, I’m something like 1500+ miles away from the majority of them. (Moved, sadly, leaving my boxes orphaned to the elements and the whims of hopefully-oblivious passersby.)

If I don’t know the status of a particular box, I’ll list it as “unknown”. If it’s missing, I’ll make sure it says missing. For those, I may put up a graphic of the stamp, since the chances of me re-placing the box again are probably slim. Might as well see what you missed, right?
