Allison.....this one reminded me of you...

Another beauty, Bob! I think you've found the motherlode where ever you're finding these!

finding them at the walmart....i'll put some leaves down to share

You must have a walmart with class!
LOL ours always look like crap here.

lol...lorry...i'm going to share with you.....ur too much...."sleepy head"

Sleepy head? Nah..I have been up and to the grocery store already.
I am preparing for football night!
And making baked beans and suck for next week soooooo soooo soooo :P

We carry optimara here but the ones here are always half dead :) LOL..so you better share!
I also have a madcat here with your name on it if interested..>He was a sub from Bluebird and I already have one.
Here is a picture...from FC..interested?

Walmart is where I got the ones I've discovered had thrips. :o( They were sitting in a pool of murky water, so I decided to try to save them. I think they're very pretty, but with the pest problems I am having with them, I don't know that I'll buy any more plants from my Walmart. I got a Chinese Evergreen there a few months ago that had mealy bugs (which migrated to my hoyas - grrr!). At the time I thought perhaps it was a one time thing, but now, it's going to have to be something really special for me to buy from them. When I look at it like that, I guess it's lucky that they rarely carry AVs. :o) The mini I got from Lowe's seems to be fine. I still have it isolated, but no evidence of pests so far. Our HD is completely INFESTED with scale, too, so I avoid that place completely now.
