I never heard of this. Sayonara.

10K: JLo is Newyorican. Hayek is from Mexico. pretty sure del Toro is also from Mexico & think I read/heard this factoid on Banderas. Go for it.

50K: Roses are notoriously disease prone. If I have my sister, a gardening expert who's partner of many years' family owned vinyards, as +1, use her. Else 50/50.
