Hiya Greg, Not sure what you were thinking but hum ... I'm a pumice girl, simply 'cause I've had access to it for a long time, but for those who don't, that's why I advocate Perlite. Drainage really matters for Haws. grown indoors, I've had mine lose roots once or twice (not this one). Above shot is the cleaned up version of this find I made at a BBS, something like $3.99 like OP's find. The actual find as I found it. Some real gems out there, if one looks closely, gets lucky & learns the delivery days of the BBS. Then one can get there fast enough before they incur bad care. Sorry Nancy (OP), I don't know much about crests of that. I've seen crested Ech. & Aeoniums, not so much of Sedum or Grapto. 'Rare' I think is often overused online, more like a marketing ploy, to try & sucker folks in that the plant is something distinct & unique.

Mikie, here is a list of the cams I watch. You have to play around with these til you find what time they are running and when you have time to watch. Djuma (My favorite) The drive started tonight around 11-11:30. There will be one tomorrow around 11-11:30 am. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Prague Zoo (Gorillas) http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4 http://www.rozhlas.cz/unmasking/live `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Africam http://www.africam.com/wildlife/node ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Panda Cam http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Here is a leopard I got before the problem started.

oldhouse - I am in Halifax but this company buys a lot of their stone from Ciot so you may want to contact them and see if they have any earmarked for Ontario. I have no doubt it is more $$ than marble - how much more is the question. I didn't think of asking the price - subconscience fear perhaps :) I googled the stone(name) and it seems to come up as a granite. When it comes in I will def. test it for etching to make sure it is not a marble. Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if it were a quartzite. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Very pretty, indeed. I love the fabric...It's great to know how to sew, you can save a ton of money and change things all the time! I have tons of fabrics as well...stored in big tubs that are stacked on top of one another in a large guest closet. It's a sickness. Next time I go to my wonderful fabric guys, I'm going to bring my camera. You won't believe how much fabric they have...they ship all over the world (not retail - wholesale)It's a fabric-holic dream... The place is huge...I went 2 weeks ago to look for my dining room chairs and went home with samples, but nothing was right. I'll have to go back another day, when I have more time to look. When I went, I said I wanted something for my dining room table to use for protection, so I don't have to use the pads all the time...He gave me a huge bolt of the stuff for free, He said here take it...They are so nice these two guys. They sell me stuff for 1/2 of what I pay in the fabric stores and give me extra too... :)
