Yes, my crinums are mostly in the sun as well.

I just picked this plant up yesterday and I think it is so cool. It is called the "butterfly stripe plant" or Christia obcordata. What do you think?

Just beautiful, Kathy! Nothing like the lushness of a New England Fall.

I love seeing the New England fall and the Carolina one as well. This thread gives us all that opportunity.

This is my little garden protector. He killed a large rabbit a few weeks ago that was digging up my daffodils.
Unfortunately, I am allergic, so can't have a cat. But love this one and feed him. He lives next door, or should I say, he sleeps there, but spends his days here. He has only one eye and no tail...used 8 of his nine lives, surviving being run over. Thumb of 2010-09-21/sandnsea2/c86e52
