'mornin' gals, Lorry, just to clarify, that AV isn't named elf ears, it just looks like it, it's name is Red Lantern. I'm not a huge fan of red flowers but I love it's leaves. Cute aren't they. oh and of course you can have some leaves. I may have put leaves down too. Anyone who had broken leaves got them put into a new tray

I must confess, I placed another order too. Mine should be here today. It ends up being just over $2 each with shipping. And granted it was some work to repot each one, but I'm looking forward to doing it again. Very Zen like! And while I have enjoyed knitting the last few nights (for those not in the 'know' my best friend roped me into a knitting class last week so I've been knitting a scarf each night) I enjoy repotting much more. Last night at midnight DH comes out to my playhouse to see what in the world I could be doing out here at midnight and I was 'preening' all my Ali baby av's.

He says 'what are you doing! it's midnight!'

"Just playing with the plants'.... I had lost track of time....

Here's the tray full of leaves. I take the dome off during the night and part of the day. I don't think I even need it. Just waiting for my real lights and heat mat to arrive and then I'll organize them and spread them out.
Also need to get a baby gate for my bedroom to keep my dogs out. My naughty bassets have lethal tails that wag furiously so i'm afraid to spread them to the lower shelf in the even that tails send av babies flying!
