thanks, Michelle. I love this plant, but it is still in its pot... somewhere! This has been a crazy spring, so I'm still dragging plants out of their hidey holes from last winter. This seems to be a tough one.

I'm glad to hear it. From what I read, it needs moist soil so I've been watering almost daily. But so far so good!

The recent weather has made watering unnecessary! LOL! I've been walking around the yard with water dripping off my nose. This plant should be happy.

Yes, it's nice to have a break from watering the yard and tables, but I still have three greenhouses to contend with. Wish I had an automatic watering system... actually, I do. His name is Dennis, and he fixes supper too! My hubby is a 'keeper'!

Lol. That's what they're there for, right?

Michelle, at my age, a good man waters, cooks, and gives me a nudge when I snore too loud. Life becomes simpler when you get past the mid-50's!
