Ok I wonder if she is alive ?
Oh 2z I am hoping I can hand some streps in my windows in way/or pots that can be turned and easliy watered. The leaves can aways be trimed. But even though I've taken many leaves off of my plants the pots keep fillinf up nicely with new leaves ! My plants seem really happy in pan pots !

speaking of pan pots. I have emailed secret gardens at least three times asking for an update on my pots. I ordered back on 3/12 and not a single word from them. Now I'm starting to lose my patience! I'd be more patient if they would just answer my email.
What's a pan pot?
begoniacrazii, I laughed that you would apologise for that picture - I thought it was fabulous, with the detail -
when I try to get that close, I just get a nice fuzzy blur! Yours shows up the touch of purple on the edges, and everything - an oooooh! shot.
Yes I thought the picture was great too ! Love the green !

I have bought from them . But like the white ones from Secret Gardens best. They sell all different size pots and ship to Canada. Link in Sticky. I think a Pan Pot there is 35 cents. They call them bulb pans.
2Zeus to get close ups just use your Macro setting on your camera. looks like the button on the image below.
Then back up about 10" or so (sometimes I get between 6-12" until I get the shot I want) and let the camera focus until you see what you want ( I rarely use the flash since that close tends to wash out anything in the photo) and click! it's simple!
this flower is opening up more and more, but the flower itself isn't but about and inch. It's small. About the same size as the flower on the other chimera Irish Paradise sport Ali sent.
This flower in real life is so beautiful with the green stripes. I tried to take another shot outside in natural light. I'll post to see if it show up better.
That little flower Macro guy is so cool. He's a nice Peep !
