Holly, Indian Pipes are a "special plant" to me as well :) Rick and I have a running competition every year to see who can spot them first! LOL I did find some info on that "other" site where a few people had posted about successfully transplanting them into their gardens but for now I'm just going to leave them where Mother Nature intended them to be :)

My 'spring project' has come to a halt this week :( Busy getting ready to head to Alexandria again this weekend and lots of chores to take care of - vet appt, dog grooming, etc., etc. I stopped by Tractor Supply to check on my oval pond - they were supposed to come in on the truck Monday but now they're telling me NEXT Monday :( I did however get an "old" project started again. I bought a vase for Rick's birthday 4 years ago and we bought the base for it 2 years ago to set up a "disappearing" fountain. The hole in the bottom of the vase wasn't large enough for the tube that we needed and we weren't confident to drill it out ourselves. FINALLY, we loaded it yesterday and traveled to Springdale Water Gardens and had the "professionals" drill it and set it up for the fountain. We haven't even got it out of the van yet but at least it's all set when we have an opportunity to get it in place and hook up the water :) I'll be posting pictures of the process on a thread Victorgardener started in the Water Gardening forum as soon as we do. He's been wanting one of these for years and I took lots of pictures to make him drool! LOL The prices on these things are way out of site and even though I really like some of their vases better, I'm happy with the steal I picked up in OBX! These were some of my favorites :)
