    I don't know what the white stuff is---but it looks like it is alive. Should be interesting to see what transpires. We have a plant called "mother-in-law's tongue" that produces something similar each spring, then it goes away. Not sure what it is---maybe part of the plant's annual cycle.

    Thanks for your meaningful comments on my blog, Kelli---I had a beard once and could do that again, but right now the hair project is center stage. Hope you guys are havin' a great week!

    Weird but cool! Did you find out what is yet? A wormie or something? One time (last year) I spotted a naughty green worm on one of our indoor plants. He'd been chomping away undetected for a while until I caught him. Silly worm.
