Oh Cat, you are killing me!! You are so much more spoiled than I am! If only I was sure I could winter mine over successfully.

Yes Alice, a full week of me bouncing off the walls in ecstasy. I thought I had finally had my fill of gardens and plants and then woke up yesterday in need yet once again. LOL! I spent much of yesterday hunting down a plant I saw at Lotusland that I just have to possess. I am off to a public garden here in a few minutes. I am never satiated it appears.

I even bought 2 hibiscus there!

When I was at South Coast Botanical Garden, I came around a corner to see a HUGE White Ghost, a euphorbia I have wanted since I saw it at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers a few years ago. This one was so huge it literally knocked me off my feet and I went down.............. literally rolled down a hill. What a sight. Well, by doing it I met 2 incredible new friends who heard me scream so I am now glad I went down. A bit sore and bloody with my pride in the hopper, I snapped this photo looking up at it.
