Oh thanks Carl, it's just lovely. I'm a little enamored with variegated foliage... just a little

Muddymitts said:LOL -- yes it is, Sherry!! Is it pronounced YA-lapa, or Ya-LAP-a?

Greetings from Mazatlan! I finally got my internet working!

Yalapa is a variation of the name of the capital of the state of Veracruz in Mexico. I was an exchange student there a lifetime ago!!!! (when I was in high school! )

It used to be spelled Jalapa but is now usually spelled Xalapa. It's pronounced a little like 'Halapa' but you practically don't pronounce the "H" sound so it's almost 'Alapa'.

I hope you are all doing well. I'm really suffering here as you can tell.....

I wish so hard that I could, and am so thankful that I can't........ grow PCI's here. Another facet to my iris addiction and I might qualify for free mental testing...... then I would be the star in 'a whole nother' episode on the X-files, or Stranger Than Fiction or some such.

I look and whine....... With all the beautiful things I can and do grow here why is it I always yearn for the few I cannot grow. I guess it is true, the grass is always greener over the septic tank {Erma Bombeck quote].

Marilyn - I can tell that you are really really suffering. I mean, stuck in a warm sunny destination with NO IRISES! You are so brave to stick it out.
