doc,

I would have loved being in your class in any grade you taught....:o)

Holly--
Just get one of the containers from the salad bar. Ask if you can have it. They won't say "No!"....
if NOT--throw 2 lettuce leaves in it--now they cannot say "you can't have it" as you will be "purchasing" something from the salad Bar....

hcmcdole--
Love your begonias!!! SO? Is the name "Beefsteak" a name that lumps all kinds of different Begonias with similar traits and leaves, in one category? Much like a "Beefsteak"-type Tomato?

Stormy---
What does a 360 degree Begonia look like? I may have seen it at a Swap--but I don't remember....
Looking forward to your gift....
I would have a hard time finding a place to keep too many new plants in my house...Same as outside in my Garden. Need to get rid of all these so-so plants (like zillions of Spider plants) that I seem to, compulsively, propagate and hang on to and then don't know what to do with them. At this time--I have about 18 small pots of Spiders all growing on my little window shelving. I can bring them ALL to the next Plant Swap--but most people already have these....Time to make room near my windows for something new.

Here's some of them--By now, both levels of these shelves have Spiders on them.
