Thanks:) 'Pink Lipstick' huh? That sounds like that might be it!! If this is the one with dark pink flowers it must be. I'll google it after a bit. Maybe your strawberries would be happier growing with a ground cover like mine are doing? They (and my Iris)seem to love it so I'm letting them! It's also the only place I haven't been ripping out that awful Sedum. Sure it's a nice Sedum with pretty flowers and all, but it just shouldn't be planted in a mixed border/garden :O Thanks Karen, I love my Lavender plants and the ease of caring for them. All they need from me is a pruning a couple times a year; every other year or so a pretty hard one in spring to keep from getting woody centers. Next spring will have to whack the 'Vera' back because they are WAY large again and it was only the year before last they got it really good. They (the 4 plants) are 2 plants planted side by side (abt. 2' on center) and over the years they have basically grown into 2 shrubs. In flower (I just went and measured :)) they are 5.5' wide!

First is the big labeled family photo. Citrus: there's seedling lemon, tangelo, pummelo, yuzu, along with an unlabeled sudachi. There's also a larger grafted yuzu and a grafted calamondin. As for non-citrus, there's three nightshades (tamarillo, naranjilla and coconas), two pots of seedling guavas, and a rather spindly ice cream bean seedling.

[IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/Picture547.jpg[/IMG] Third, is a closer view including the big yuzu and calamondin, the pummelo and tangelo in front of them, and the big naranjilla on the right side.

The black pot is tamarillo sprouts, which I need to thin out. To me, the only notable thing here is how different papeda-type citrus look from other citrus when young - smaller, slower in growth, smaller leaves, but very lush, small (not visible in this pic) spines, but more of 'em than other citrus.

-natalie, I can probably give you some help with that if you want ;-) The first thing you need to do is copy the code (it is the gibberish located in the box at the top of your screen) OF THE PAGE YOU WANT TO LINK TO. This is what the code looks like of your post on the gallery side: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cottage/gal1208141825883.html?4 When you are typing a message here on GW you will notice two boxes below the box you use to write your message. See them? They say "Optional Link URL" and "Name of the Link". Paste your code/link inside the "Optional Link URL" box and type the name of what you are linking to or want to say (like jkom's link said 'Natalie's lovely garden and kitty!') in the "Name of the Link" box. When you hit "Preview Message" your link should appear below highlighted in blue. You can test out your link there and then hit the back button to get back to your message. Then hit submit and you are all done ;-) There is also another way of linking where you can make links within your text (the message). It is great if you want to do multiple links, but is a bit more difficult. Let me know if you are interested in learning about that method sometime and I would be happy to show you. You can use this thread to practice if you like. If you run into any problems I can help (can even shoot me an email if you need to). It is super simple once you get the hang of it! ;-) CMK

You are amazingly well-organized. Taking care of that looks like a full time job. However, bromeliads are a bit easier to take care of than some other plants, which is one of the reasons I am switching over to having more of them. Your staghorn ferns seem to be getting quite a bit more light than mine is, and so maybe mine is too sheltered.
