John: use the HTML tag, like this: You do that by typing without the @ symbol and by replacing the text in the quotes with, you guessed it, your image's web adress. This is NOT the address of the website the image appears on, but the location of the image itself. It will probably end in .jpg or .png or .gif but will NOT end in .com or .net or .org any of those. Follow the instructions on this website to get the image's web adress. For example, the address for the image above is http://www.logees.com/images/C2009-citrus-myrtifolia.jpg I'm not sure why Gardenweb makes users learn HTML. It can take a while to learn for people who aren't already computer-savvy.

Abstract Art is one I have that I really like. It's a peachy pink in my garden, with a subtle pattern. I almost wrote it off because I prefer patterns and bright colors, but my hubby, who won't let me get rid of anything, said it's healthy, let it go. Well, it's now filled out to a fairly large clump and I really like it (thanks, hubs!). The color gets richer every year, it seems! I also have Chicago Apache, Hyperion, Moonlit Masquarade and Joan Senior. Agree with everyone else on these, with one exception - Joan Senior. My gardens are in full sun and I mean full sun! Joan has a tendency to melt on me - looks great in the AM, translucent and gross in the PM. If I had any shade, I'd relocate her! Otherwise, though, she's healthy as any other and multiplies nicely. Seeds like crazy too! Sounds like you got some good deals and nice plants! KCC

Nope, you don't have to do a thing. I will say, however that when you finally do divide them it will be a real chore. You will have to torture them apart rather than teasing them. Still, I have many that have been in the ground that long and are still growing and blooming just fine. The ones that you separate after three years or so are pretty easy to divide. When you wait too long, it probably is best to just hatchet them apart. I do it both ways and they just keep growing!!!

Is that hood tiled with ittybitty tiles or stuccoed? I'm just thinking how absolutely filthy it'd get around here. It would look good in blue and white. Cream and taupe though? It really does look fairy taleish and as such, needs some real color!
