Hi Everyone!!

ardesia, have a good trip!

Kay Jones, the Heliconia is from our Rj Rudd.

dyzzy, you are so funny. "Death Row Orchids". You have the midas touch with those orchids. They are looking so healthy.
I have saved a few death row bromeliads through the years, myself. I transplanted 4 babies from a plant I paid less than a dollor for today, no color yet but for that much, I got a morning of pleasure!

Joeswife, Sorry to hear about the cold temps, too early for that. I want to enjoy a few more months of good gardening weather, it has been perfect weather here except that we did not get the rain that was predicted. The plants that I repotted and transplanted today could use a good drenching.

floridabunnie, from what I read so far on the hummingbird tree, the limbs will break easily and can get up to 30 ft, but on the positive side the leaves and flowers have culinary value. I have enjoyed this Firebush (Hamelia patens) immensely and it might be perfect to include in your fence line plantings. It is a butterfly and hummers dream plant.
