     I have a question.*p*     Was it Manannan who gave a branch to Cormac mac Art that was in stages of both flowering and fruiting? Or am I mixing up my tales again? <g>*p*     The reason I ask is this: at Lughnasadh, my pear tree produced new flowers alongside the almost-ripe fruit, and I vaguely remember a story from the lore about an Otherworldly branch that did this, but I don't remember the exact circumstances, or even if it was from the Irish or the Welsh...*p*     So, since I know it will take me ages to find the right story again on my own, I could use a bit of help remembering. :-)*p*Leigh
