oh you u guys are killing me.. I love the spathoglottis, but it sure looks like an orchid.

I love the leaf hopper too. unfortunately, things like orchids are things I see I am afraid of. I agree, the purple is beautiful.
my GS is 18 and none of the others have even married let alone thought about children. I have told them all not to wait until I am using a walker to decide to marry and have families. the three that are the youngest have all assured me not to worry. they are 35, 31, and 23.. the oldest two are in their 40's. Gosh, my 23 year old is regressing I think to 6.
stardancer crosses came from a brug grower here in DG. She just labled them as crosses with each pod since she had so many other brugs. the stardancer brug is white with the petals split instead of solid. I think they look like b suaveleons myself. pretty, tho.

we have enjoyed a cool 95 today, going back to trile digits next week. brought in a few more babys. I also have night blooming jasmine in large tubs out front and out back. today I moved the vines that were in hanging baskets on the back door hooks, to the south arbor. maybe now they will take off. the tall sunflowers have made great shade and poles for the other vines to climb on the nroth end of the patio, making my living wall complete. wish I had the tall plants all around like in 2010, but the past summer and what looks like to be another has kept the living walls from happening all around. *sigh*
