No worries, KayJones. I have a list of treasures I'll be sending you in another month. Guess the Achimenes might have to come along later, when the foliage dies down, though. These white ones were SO slow starting to bloom, they'll just barely be in their prime before the weather gets cold.

Mj, hard work, but it's nice to be in demand, too, right? Sounds like you'll get another break for rain after the weekend. Gotta tell you a funny story, a few years ago my DH, a consulting engineer, had the same beef. He wanted to not work as much. I suggested half-joking that he double his rate then he'd probably only get half as much work but the same money. To my great surprise, he did! And to his great surprise, he was just as busy after he jacked his price through the roof. But he complained less.

Here's my Opal Basil trying to look like a coleus.
