Umm, I've forgotten exactly what that orange thing is. Mexican something. But it starts easily from cuttings and likes full sun so maybe not a Justicia? Anyway, I'll send you cuttings if you like it.

Here's a gorgeous little pink-leaved begonia really coming into its own in the cool weather. I think it is B. Maurice Amy from a cutting Mj sent me last fall. And a cute little Tolumnia orchid from Lowe's. They grow in what are known as "thumb pots" about 1 1/2in across, and they fit in a funny wire candle holder I had just perfectly so it makes a pretty display when they are all blooming. Of course getting orchids to bloom all at once is like trying to herd cats.
