As far as some of the old regulars. I think Cena appears here once in a while. Ooojen, I haven't seen for years and neither have I seen Nigella. I talk to Nigella on the phone once in a while though. She is doing well. I also write to Foxykitten once in a while too. She is also doing well. And Catalina just posted on the conversations part of this forum the other day. Larry

Hi Purplemoon, I started replying to your having hard time on here yesterday & I suddenly was shut down & had to go off. They must have had trouble. I couldn't get on conversations for longest time!! Anyway the Antique Mall in Phoenix is almost same as ours out next to Saugus Swapmeet. "Country Antique Fair Mall" I love it!! It's been there for years & they keep it up so nicely.I always get some great stuff when I go! Antique stores on Ventura Blvd. used to be nice but have changed so much & are so expensive. But I'm like you don't go too often or I would spent a lot!!!DS got me 2 "dime" banks for xmas. I already had the Betsy Ross 1 it looks just like a spice tin except the top has the slit for your change. it held Betsy Ross tea originally. Jan

Don you startled me ! Ummmmm . . . honestly I have never ID'd anything before. I have agreed with others suggestions on different posts and even took a blind stab in the dark (I guessed Fire Opal for something that clearly was not Fire Opal). I remember you posting this picture before for an ID. I should go back and look at the post. Is it blue when it comes up in the spring ? Does it have that waxy coating on the top of the leaf ? That is the first thing I would check. If it isn't blue then it isn't Elegans. With three leaves that is a hard one. Not to mention being big and green doesn't narrow it down much either. Flower color and bloom time might be better indicators for something like this. I'd say give it some more time to mature and then it might be a lot easier. I have four in my garden that I have yet to pitch to everyone since I know they are too immature for ID'ing. I did manage to ID a Francis Williams and June last year in a neighborâÂÂs garden, but he already knew what they were so I was basically testing myself. :p Good luck, Ludi

I love Luckstone, too, Jodi! ;-) And it ended up being quite theatrical as my grandfather and several of his siblings were on the stage. I called my grandmother Lucky, but maybe Luckstone is a possibility. I thought of Josh and Groban earlier too! I had to give up my orange cat after my mother died. (I was nine.) His name was Rusty. (Very original!) I better come up with something soon because my son keeps calling him Saucers. I can't say I'm crazy about the name. Marilyn, it's true about most orange cats being male, but my Peachy (picture below) is a female. I read that in order for this to happen the mother must be a calico and the father an orange. We have Peachy's mother, a pastel calico. We don't know who Peachy's father was, but now we know what he looked like. :-)
