Nice story, Erythrone! Actually the name Myhre or Myre or Myra is a quite common surname in Norway, its origin is Myr which means bog or marsh. Descendants of people coming from a farm that was located on marshlands in other words. Perhaps his ancestors were Norwegians?
The cross was made by Alfredo Manrique, perhaps he has seedlings available? But of course he is in Lima so its not straight forward to get one...

Thanks for the informations! So there are people named Myre in Norway? My boyfriend has French ancestors, like me, but maybe there were some Norwegian blood berfore the first Myre came in Canada.

Erythrone; certainly there are people whose name is Myre in Norway! There are some places called it as well, at least one place I remember located up north in Lofoten. You can check it up on internet
