Hi, everyone.

Nice purchases, Hetty. I specially like the 3rd one. I bought one similar to that. It had 2 blooms when I bought it. One bloom fell off in transit here and the other lasted just a little over a week. It's been 18 months now and it hasn't rebloomed. It hasn't grown much, either. In gardening, hope springs eternal, I guess.

I am planning a stopover at Florida Colors at the beginning of June. I may treat myself if they have anything that catches my fancy. My problem is always the same, space: such a long wishlist, so little space. If Gail didn't love it so much here, I would sell this place and buy something with an acre. But the house is perfect for Gail, so we'll just file all that under dreams and move on. Alea jacta est.

Take care, all.
Sylvain.

Hi.

You went, you saw, you acquired. I love a good plant sale. Nobody will blame you here. Au contraire. Great purchases.

Star Trek moment here: As with any purchase, the 5 Ferenghi Rules of Acquisition apply.
1. Infatuation: Wow, look at that!
2. Justification: I've got to have this because (insert reason here)
3. Acquisition: How much? Here you go.
4. Disillusion/disappointment: I thought it would be better (too early for that yet)
5. Resale for profit: Should you make it to that point, may you make a reasonable profit. Resale without profit is illegal on Ferenganar.

Enjoy your new babies.
Sylvain.

But, Doris, it is a beauty. You must fertilize yours pretty good...
