Thanks! sbrow - down here they sell the seedlings for $15 and the grafted plants for $25 typically when they are small plants. Larger plants cost more. I can buy the smaller plants since in this climate they grow fast. irun5k - the oleander caterpillars are orange and have black hairs sticking out of them. Very characteristic. See the link. When they are younger, they don't have the black hairs but they are definitely orange. Here is a link that might be useful:

I don't know what cultivar I have but the ones I have can't stand alot of sun! It SAYS full sun but that doesn't mean Texas full sun!!! lol The flowers wilt fairly quickly in the midday sun so I let them have the morning sun... toadlilly and marti8a...my 3 year old and 1 year old are quite fascinated with the "balloons" also. I have to be vigilant about watching those two and my new precious plants! lol flowerfloozie...I am jealous of your plants! 45 blooms of that beautiful flower, it must be gorgeous!! mommyfox...aren't you in Arlington?! I got them at Green's Produce off of Arkansas. They have the beautiful purple I got and they also have white. I started potting yesterday but of course, I ran out of soil...rookie mistake, right?!

Debra, your pictures just blow me away, they are so good. Now you have given me another Forsyth to love. I need to see who has this one available. I always love Hansons, so Integrated Logistics is a favorite. You know I don't do much in the "frilly lily" department, but I really enjoy looking at yours--you have saved me a lot of money LOL.

The one in front is a 12 x 24 porcelain floor tile a very slight texture that can be installed with a 1/8th of an inch grout line / it’s a greige color.. picks up the white in house and the wood stairs... the one on the far right seems too defined in its coloring & one on the far left doesn’t have any Browns in it.. it’s why I like 2nd from left as it’s tone is muddled (if you can understand what I mean by that) and has the brown striations (I can’t think of another word)... but all advice is great as I’ll look at them over and over and am waiting on company to call so I can see some slabs..
