Liz, I put most of them in my hoophouse which had a heater on at night.

Thanks Karen. That is Wild Blue Yonder, a very nice rose. Though the hibiscus dwarfs it.

Oh Amanda, your husband is using scare tactics. Be sneakier!

Chiele, I wish I had room in my garage. It is so crowded with junk that really needs to be tossed. It is amazing how it accumulates after 30 years of tossing in whatever you do not want to see again.

OH NO, not a plant sensor. LOL. Today I was off to a clivia meeting and my husband told me I should not go. I asked why and he said it will get me all hyped up over clivia and I will rush and buy a bunch. I told him no plants would be for sale there. He said I have not left the house 1 time during the day for the last 2 months without coming home with plants. And he is right. That is how sick I am.

Today I was in a town 1 hour away and had printed out the nurseries close to the house I was visiting just in case I had time. I had left so late from the meeting/party that I figured it was too late for a nursery to still be open. But soon after leaving, I saw a chain nursery that is in a hardware store. So I pulled in saying to myself that I could not buy a plant. I got out without buying one. But they had told me they would stay open till 9 and I rememberd there was another one of the same stores close by. So I set TomTom for that address and went. Well shoot................... they had 2 of the most beautiful begonias in full flower. Any plant grown well is hard not to love and buy.

And no hiding these from Tom. LOL So I can't go even 1 day without buying one. And I got so busted because Tom was helping me download pictures to my brand new computer and saw this pic flick by and immediately said, "oh the new plants from today!" Shoot! LOL
