I hear the bugs are terrible!

Yes, I have seen vehicles look like that ... smeared with Florida Love Bugs: http://insects.about.com/od/fl...

I remember a time back in the early 70's I was traveling with my mother in law on I-4 from Orlando to St. Petersburg to visit family. We carried a few gallons of water and rolls of paper towels in the car ... the love bugs were so thick we had to stop every few miles and wash the windshield to be able to see to drive!!

I've never seen them except around the highway/interstate areas.

OK lets change it up a bit. What if all your flowers had to be shades of 1 color what would it be Reds - Oranges - Whites - Yellows - Blues - Pinks - Purples - Greens ?

For me I think I will go with shades of Orange.

I'd go with either Purple or Pink.....heh, since they sort of overlap and I could cheat!

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

Purple, next choice would be blue. In fact most of my beds are purples and blues.
