Deb, that is my favorite color on that mg. When you and Joe finally move to Florida, don't forget to look for a house in this area. There are bargoons galore on houses here - everywhere in Florida for that matter.

Drew, your indoor garden is looking fabulous. McDowell in #3 is still my fave and what a lovely spot you found for him. Thanks for the wisdom on the Philos, between you and Dale, I might actually get my baby Philo through winter, and out to the shady border where it can grow like a weed - that's my kinda plant!

Rita, so glad you are having a second spring, too, and that you got some more rain! We are lucky to see all your lovely pictures - that Super Nova brug is just gorgeous.

Candela, what's your secret to getting Key Limes to give fruit? I have a 9ft. tree, and it gave me fruit when it was small and in a pot, but since I put it into the ground it has grown and bloomed but . . no fruit! My little Meiwa Kumquat gives me two generous crops a year, and it's on the same care regime as the Key Lime.

Mj, hope you've been able to put away your snorkel and flippers by now? Boy! did you ever get the rain. We got barely an inch +-(

I've got lots of cuttings of my red hibiscus acetocella rooted - just cut them last week! The leaves look like dark red maple leaves, and are edible. Poor lighting in the picture, my flash wouldn't work so used the kitchen lights to show the roots in the jug. The leaves are a much prettier color than that.
