David - you're THE man!! Thank you...and the butterflies thank you!

Sally - that was snortable!! I had my 2 since before Chloe was born soooo 7+ years. Never got spider mites but much like everything I bring inside - I let go semi-dormant...at least that's how they appear losing all their leaves and such. Well it's doesn't look like she's gonna bounce back this year. She'd typically (much like my sambacs - see photo) be 'waking' up by now. She'd got so tall (6' plus) in the past I'd have to prune her back before bringing inside for the fall/winter. Oh well...picked up another this past weekend...I mourn quickly...what can I say?

BTW - need to add to my have list - Blood Maple toddlers (let me thank my neighbor again this year) as well as that ginger that I can't seem to get the entire rhizome up and bless her heart keeps coming up each year...LOL. I'll look up specific name but I believe it's Thai Pink Profusion. No scent - or faint...but pretty bloom...hardy for me.
