valleylynn said:...those are beautiful. Their leaves are so clean and unmarred. I can tell they are loved and pampered.

Thanks Julia, Tim and Lynn, for the kind words about my plants but I've got to admit that these plants are small cuz I do a whole lot of screaming at them to "Shape Up or Ship Out"...you know, that Tuff Love kind of thing. Maybe that approach helps/makes them stay small but at least they are presentable. Please, all, bring your magnifying glass when you come over clinic weekend. I think the photography makes everything look more substantial when it's just one lone and nervous rosette head trying to hold the picture pose for me...Also this small collection is much more manageable when there's not a population of hundreds...
