| I really like that pink one! My yellow finally bloomed and the last seedling, but I didn't get pictures. The seedling is just another orange, but with a bit more yellow throat, so nothing to get excited about. I have a few Epiphyllums blooming but I'll post them on the Epi. forum. |

| I had to get rid of my two biggest ones ...a pink and a coral, because they were in 24" baskets that took two people to move and were to heavy for my lemon tree to support. Now, half of the lemon tree is dying, so I don't know how long I'll have the rest of the Epis. Don't have any room for a shade house. |

| No, Epis are a Single root. You can take cuttings from them to start, but they really are real estate hogs...and heavy. |

| I'll bet you don't miss the low rainfall though...1.67" for the season this year. No Azaleas here, or anything else that needs water. |

| I think that this is the most beautiful flower that I've ever seen. Friend Rebecca brought it yesterday, it's Rhododendron 'Fragrantissimum'...an oldie, which the 'Fragrantissimum Improved' was hybridized from...the 'improved' is apparently improved in looks, being not as 'leggy', but is not as strongly scented...you could not imagine the scent that this has. This old one had been taken out on her Uncle's property and she rescued it....also holds up well cut apparently since it still looks ravishing this a.m. I see that the 'improved' is offered at nurseries, but she says that the original is not normally available I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." The Urge for Seeds is Strong in This One..... |

| That's gorgeous, Sherry! The Rhody family is one I miss the most in my zone. Even the so called sun Azaleas don't do well here |

| She cut this branch and it came an hour down here, then was in the car while she was at the nursery, all together, a couple of hours just sitting with no water until it go to my house and it still looks like it did yesterday, fresh and no wilting...amazing. White flowers are my favorites and throw in a scent like that and it's a true winner for me......that red rhody in front of my house is blooming again and I still hate it...really need to have Jer chop it out...and I do mean chop, very old, iron hard wood...usually I end up just cutting the flowers off when I'e haad enough of them...do that with the camellias also...lol..I think the only Rhodys I'e seen that I like are the purple ones... Need to get more done outside, Spring catch-up time, but also getting stuff together for a yard sale this Saturday...I HATE doing yard sales. My friend down there, Rosa, is my sales buddy who actually LIKES to do them, said she would come help, asked how far it is...told her 824 miles and that took care of that...lol.. I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." The Urge for Seeds is Strong in This One..... |

| LOL! Some folks just don't realize what a big state we live in...until they drive it, and pay for the gas. |
