Debra - LOL! I thought your son lived near the ocean. I didn't know it was a man-made lake. I usually call that lake side, not the beach. But that is how we Floridians segregate the beach and the lakes here in Florida, since we do have both. LOL! Well, in that case it should grow quite well! :-) I wanna see photos if it does!!!

Thanks for the suggestion about using dark green or dark burgandy in my Caladium basket. Ironically, I thought I had room in the basket to add something else. Instead I am seeing more Florida Sweethearts poking their heads through the soil. So now I don't know if I will actually have room for any other plants. :-S

Cute little bird!! What is it? Looks almost like a Bluejay or Scrub jay. I love my birdies... and squirrels. I'm off today to take care of some estate business, so am enjoying my morning at home. I need more days off! LOL!

Here is an interesting cross from Antoinette. This was labeled Aogakiyama x Chocolate Silk. A - Did you get the Aogakiyama seeds from Beth? If not, just wondering because I thought the blooms were going to be more light blue. (The camera doesn't convey the color correctly. It is more of a deep purple, not blue! I hate this color misrepresentation in a camera. Too broke to get a better camera ...) LOL! Love the white streak in there and the long flag. Can't wait to see what future blooms look like. I know this sounds odd, but these rich colored, large blooms are some of my favorites. I like blooms with subtle hints of a cross or patterns.
