Quiltygirl I've got you down for lemon geranium,chocolate mint (and yes it does it still needs to be contained), several purple fountain grass and snow in summer. Regarding the hibiscus, I was given three; orange, pink and red. The orange (planted in the ground) is beside the house and managed to survive the winter with no intervention from me. (dare I get my hopes up and think myself as having a green thumb or is it dumb, beginners luck? I like the former!) Maybe because it's surrounded by all that chocolate mint?

The pink one was near the fence with little protection and I don't see any of it. :-( Maybe it will surprise me and pop up when it gets warmer. That danged red one is in it's original pot on the back porch and just keeps hanging on. Probably because it wants to go home with YOU! No one has claimed it yet my dear.

Sylvia, I'll bring both colors of the Jewel for you and you take whichever or both.

DP, I really don't mind the larger "Aggies" at all. I am after all an "Aggie" from NMSU. And hey man. Purple is purple!!!

hellnzn11, I'll bring you several baby planes and purple queens. Below is one of the six mama airplanes I have out back. I think I might have enough babies to share. And till I moved to CA I'd never put an airplane outside. My G'mas were all indoor plants.

The extra naked ladies I had are in a pot so I'll just bring it and you guys can have whatever there is in there. I think there are at least six plants.

And I'd love some of your Mystic Merlin Malva! How'd I miss that? My purple radar must have been on the fritz cuz of the rain yesterday. Sheesh!

I also do the entire spectrum of purple. My bedroom is painted purple! My DH doesn't mind cuz he's colorblind (and if ANY of you tell him I will of course completely deny it! HE thinks it's blue!) ;-)

Seventy-one hours and counting!
