very nice display of lovely plants. I am glad to know about the Sinningia tubifloras, they own me, like all the rest, but as long as they are giving me a smile, I'll keep on doing what I do..mixing prennials with the tropicals.. bringing tropicals in when I have to. multi planting in one container is the best thing to do here.. especially since I work all day and can't tend to them until the heat has taken all the sap outta stuff.. basement has brugs blooming and the calico vine, chalice vine and other tender tropicals in it already.. slowly but surely.. Paula your containers look much more glamourous than mine > beautiful..
I have been choosing my sings from that same site, Elaine.
KayJones , you are a loverly lady, and have a heart of gold to boot.
Drew ur a handsome man, and very entertaining as well! Elaine, that is a great shot of you two.. I just love this group. Alice, I found Don outside in the oleander pot.. hmmm, I must have set him down while I was undoing the shelf across the way out there, anyway, it has another leaf stem (stalk?) with leaves. one of my tall Angel wings downstairs just finished flushing, I have posted her so much I didn't snap her this time.. the others are budding down there..My Basement is going to be way tropical this winter, with lights and paper and all kinds of changes.. even a pond, I am so kacited.

Rita.. the floss flower tree is blooming! it has been under the big lilac all summer, no mites, no yellow leaves, no squirrels in it and in the same pot as it has been for ever since you sent it.
KayJones, I have stuff to send you I started from seed, it is still too hot I think to send anything.
Been collecting seeds for everyone I have promised seeds to..
Sister is doing well I think, inspite of all the stuff she is enduring..
And Paula, I hire someone I have trained to care for my stuff if Joe and I are both gone at the same time, he is 14. I don't like to panic when I leave, but I do..
