I have white swan and green envy if you want to give them a try. I do not need anything but would send you some for a sase. I also have hot papaya and double decker if you would like to see what they turn out to be. Let me know. Smitties

After about 30 minutes of burning in my blue wine bottle, I second the notion of using the cap. There is no spillage, and the fluid is not spreading to the glass. the fact that the cap comes down over the glass makes a big difference. On a bad note, though, my blue wine bottles are too tall for the wicks. At first I had the bottle filled to above the bottom of the wick, but I realized that simply creates wasted space-once the oil burns to below the wick I'll have almost 3 inches of fluid that will not burn. I tried doubling up the wicks, overlapping about 3 inches and using a twist tie to hold them together, but the fluid does not travel up the wick as well, and the flame is now going out. So in my personal evaluation... Cap good, washer, bad. Tall vessel, bad. Don't go any taller than your wick. My washers were from my basement, and stored in a baby food jar. So I punched a hole in the baby food jar cover, and turned it into a tiki. :) Kirk-I'm definitely making my holes smaller than the wick, and have had to use tape wrapped around the wick to be able to feed it though. Once through, I'm removing the tape. It's working well. In the last 1/2 hour I was looking up glass tikis to see what is already out there beyond the DIY stuff for glass. I'm much more comfortable with glass as a vessel now. In my search I came up with this link-amazing stuff! When I was a kid my mom had a bottle cutter to make drinking glasses with. That fad lasted about a month, but darn I wish I still had that cutter now. http://scoutingweb.com/ScoutingWeb/Documents/CDFish.pdf

Thanks for that info maryv. I have Tomato Soup and it seems to be a better grower than Tiki Torch. My one Tiki Torch is tiny! It came back very small. I expected it to grow some over a year's time. It looks like it will have just 2 small blooms. They don't look anything like the tag. They are tiny blooms! I can't say enough good things about Razzmatazz. I've got a four-year-old plant that just keeps on coming back better each year. I took basal cuttings of it last fall and all of them came up strong too and are already fuller and better than Tiki Torch. My Coconut Lime cutting is back and blooming about 15-20 blooms this year! It was rooted last fall as well. Somebody is lying when they say these plants were tested for 3 years. I have no doubt these would fail a trial.
