Thanks, Paul and Dirt. Now I know why all the ones Arlene (pirl) sent me died. I did the best I could for them but all 6 died within a few months.

Just remember that when you talk to them try and use some of that southern drawl you must have learned when visiting the south years ago. It will make them sit up and take notice. smiles

Yes, indeed, calling them lil' darlings and sweet britches, and encouraging them with com'on honeys, will only garner you more buds! And don't forget to say "Thank you sugar" after they have bloomed!
