I have the most wonderful woman who works for me as my bookeeper! She's also a a dwarf, but there is nothing that stands in her way although I realize her physical limitations (which are few). Sheila is a very devout Catholic but never is the type to "try to convert". She's a joy in my office!

I showed her a photo one day of my Devils Backbone, sitting next to my statue of St. Francis (patron Saint of animals and gardens). She hated the plant! hehe. Somewhere a long the line, I thought I came across another name for this plant - Jacob's ladder??

I'm on the mission to make her a beautiful "religious planter" - and I'm not making a joke out of this.

So far - I'll use Caladiums - (Heart of Jesus) . Oyster plant (Moses in a basket) - I have some "Joseph's coat"...Angelonia???

Do you have any other suggestions?

Sheila is a remarkable woman...She was a nun and then met her husband. They've been married for 30 years and have a son - who's 6'2!
She never ceases to amaze me - Here's a photo 30some years ago with Mother Theresa...
