Thanks Hetty! Ginger sorry to hear this I agree now as you heal, plants are a great way to "distract" or "encourage" the next thing, whatever that may be! Later this summer I'll have some "chicks" that I could trade - keep it in mind!
Cheers

Thanks, Greg

Ginger, I just love your avatar, what a sweet photo.

Thanks, Lynn. The frog was in the plant when I moved it into the GH that year and spent the whole winter there...had to be careful when I watered It stayed for awhile after I put it back out, but then I guess it went in search of a mate

Zuzu can't wait for photos. Are you still plants semps?

That was a lot of plant to find places for. Are you still planting Zuzu?

No, they're all planted and they're cute as bugs! I'll take some pictures soon. I've been busy with an endless round of errands for days.

Looking forward to seeing the photos Zuzu. Hope things calm down for you soon.

Thanks, Lynn. Everything's so complicated these days. My microwave oven died and both of the replacements I've bought have been lemons, so that alone has taken up a lot of time. Today I'll go back to the store and get a third replacement. It's a hassle because I don't have a car.

What a bummer. Hopefully soon, things will settle down. It does make it more difficult when one doesn't have a car. But then it is also a big savings, not having car maintenance, insurance and all that. Getting to the time when I know it probably isn't far down the road before I need to not have a car.

I got rid of my last car 35 years ago because it's so much healthier to walk wherever I need to go, but I can't walk 10 miles to a store while I'm carrying a big microwave oven box, so it's annoying.

Oh Zuzu, what a picture that was in my mind. Tiny you carrying a boxed microwave on top of your head, instead of a jar of water.

Lynn you do crack me up!
Zuzu - we are kindred spirits! I never learned to drive because I felt like it was a waste of gas, air, metal...all of it! I have always tried living in a place that had good public transportation...and friends that are willing to drive me to where ever, for the larger items! But, sounds totally frustrating getting lemons and having to go back I hope this one works for you!!

The worst thing about it is that I bought the silly thing at Walmart. Can you imagine having to go to Walmart four times in one week? One of my neighbors has been taking me there, and her husband says he's scared of us now that we've become Wal-Martians.

That would be tough, four times in one week.

I like that name Walmartians!

hehe I go to Walmart wayyyyy to much myself

I don't have one nearby, so don't go very often at all - but we have Fred Meyer's and I think they're very similar!

I promised you some baby pictures, so here they are. There were 96 plants in all (3 each of 32 cultivars). I ran out of bonsai pots fairly quickly, but I also had some abalone shells and some shallow pots.



That's 81 of them. The other 15 got tucked between other plants in large containers, such as this one:



When these babies start spreading and growing, I'll have a better idea of how to combine them in larger containers. Their present containers are more like baby nurseries. What a score! I think you'll agree that these are worth far more than the $100 prize gift certificate. Lynn, thanks again for making the arrangements for this prize.
