"Mother-of-thousands" it is called. Love that plant. I'd like to try my hand at the flowering kalanchoes. NOLA is my kind of town! Such gorgeous plantings. I grew up in the tropics, and my grandparents' had that giant pothos growing up one side of it - all the way to the roof. It was beautiful. I used to try getting that gorgeous, full, cascading effect in my windowboxes. Never totally successful, and the last few years my windowboxes have been used for food. Maybe I'll try again this year - your NOLA pics have inspired me! There used to be a forum here called (I think) "Gardening in Small Spaces". There were a number of people there who had or wanted New Orleans style gardens because of the (mostly narrow) small spaces they had. I don't see the forum any more, but it was quite interesting. This is probably the best effect I've gotten in a windowbox: This was my last one: I want them so full and lush that the windowbox disappears! Thanks for the NOLA trip, purpleinopp! PV

Thanks, Cathy, for your interest, but I'm afraid you're probably right about the practicality challenge, lol. Oh well. If no one in my area from this forum can come get it, I'll find someone who doesn't pay much attention to rose culture who will take it off my hands. It is, after all, pretty low-maintenance. But I figured someone already into roses might be more excited by it, and might better appreciate how unusual a variety it is. So hey! folks, the rose is still here. I'll give it up to a month here if needed on the forum, then I've got to get rid of it some other way. : ( ...because my three new Roses Unlimited roses are coming in March! : )

I'm not sure how far this particular seller is from you but you may want to try: "Maurice Farms". He posted on the My Daylilies website and is on the LA (Lily Auction) under the seller name of Cajunkid. I've not purchased from him previously but do have an order coming this spring. Another resource is the AHS but I noticed they don't have any resources listed for Region 13 Louisiana(????). Hopefully some others on this forum may have some suggestions. Julia

Hey Mike - Saw in your response to my post that you had these roses to give away. Obviously, not close enough to get these, but I was hoping you might be willing to send me several cutting of them. All four are beautiful roses, and I would love to try growing them. By the way - thanks for your kind response to my post. :) LMK about the cuttings. You can email me at redsnowflake@comcast.net ~Amanda
