The big boss visits Michigan?

[mass]

Think it's a sighting of the big boss man? For those of you that don't know, Sam Estes is one of the largest growers/hybrid creators/distributors in the world. He goes by the user name Leilani online, and even creator/co-creator of two forums. (http://pitcherplants.proboards.com/index.cgi? & http://lhnn.proboards.com/index.cgi?)

Obviously.. that's why the title is VISITS Michigan. I knew it wasn't him, it just made me think of him was all.

Leilani - according to Wikipedia - it means 'Heavenly Lei'. I imagine that Sam is not the first one to use the name. Pretty good catch on a remarkable coincidence though!

Gee, I thought you meant Andrew.

Leilani is a pretty common name. It became popular from the Academy Award winning song "Sweet Leilani" from the 1937 Bing Crosby movie "Waikiki Wedding".

awww.. you guys crack me up. I call Andrew boss.. But Sam is the BIG boss, since we are all so small to the man in comparison (of our collections).
And honestly, I've never heard of Leilani anything before joining the hobby. So yeah..
