That canna looks like one I have too, I grew it from seed from phicks, it is good in water too..
Gordon your dreamweaver is a great idea, but you always have great ideas. My Iochromas are always n a pot since the first time I grew one in the ground it was the size of a small tree out on the north fence, and not one bloom. Mine get water and also sit in a saucer outside. they bloom constantly. I am after a red one and a blue one, all I have is a purple one.
I have an arm rooting for you, Gordon.. It is in the bubbler tub and looking ooh so good so far... keep yer fingers crossed..


My criniums are not blooming either, but I sure like their droopy leaves, they remind me of how I feel at the end of a work day..floppy.

Rachel, I love that first anthurium you posted today..
Candella, could you use a grounds keeper?( I am waving my hand here) your place looks divine! I like it a lot and that oncidium is awesome! Oh, and could your hubby show my hubby how to buy an orchid? Or .. better yet, even want to buy one? LOL Lucky you!
Rita, try using kens mix on the iochromas, I do on mine.. I love that dwarf Plumeria.. How I can feel an urge to go buy a new plant when I already have all these here at home is beyond me.. so I went and found some native glorys and dug them up and now they are in an outside tub..

Meanwhile..Joe does like to take cool pictures, and here is one of a large EE leaf
