Rita! How wonderful - we all knew you were busy 'fighting the good fight' for your garden. Are you saving your pennies for a really huge rainwater cistern?

So happy you got some rain. Yes, the stripey costus from you has been blooming for weeks,and looks to continue. The second is a big plant but has not bloomed yet. I would love a cutting of your new one there, but don't cut it up too much! What absolutely gorgeous leaves! Tell me the variety and I'll order one myself. You also sent me two cuttings of purple firespike that are nice big plants, but also not blooming yet. Do they need more sun?

Please do let me know if you want anything from my garden! My 'Dauben' water lily is making babies like crazy now - do you have enough water for your pond yet? I am charging up my camera to send pictures of 'your garden in Florida' waiting to return to you.
