Happy Growing! Brian.   Here's a shot with flash, to highlight the leaf patterns a bit...  |

Freddddd!
Yes, they do kind of have the "dancing lady" effect somewhat. ;D
Now, if I could just get the parrot to show up, all would be well! ;D

What is the scent Brian?
Fruity?
Is it reminiscent of any tart we may be familiar with?

Gorgeous photos, Brian. I wish they could survive 20 degrees F. in the winter... ;-))

Hey Jim, Thanks! I have had them down close to freezing for short periods, but they do not like it. 45F seems like about all I can get away with without damage occuring....  Happy Growing, Brian. |
