Hey Al: Thank you for your idea. I will do that and take photos of before and after. You should see 'Rose"! She is looking so beautiful. I noticed your Aeonium arborens is not as black as mine, but has shades of green. Beautiful and full!@! It seems that the more light it get, the blacker it becomes, no? It is one of my favorite plants for special reasons:-0) I have the razor blade and the glue, now just a nice pot like that. You should see how well the glue did for my Desert Rose which I 'Pugged" like Nancy does. lol Hi Pug! I just wanted to let you know I fell in love with that Desert Rose you posted and another special one! Please post it here for all to see. It would be an honor! Lovely and great job. Those colors will just brighten up my day. Please!:-))))))) If you do not have a ripply jade, I could always send you a cutting for your collection:-) Jojo: Thank you, thank you. I saw yours too and they are beautiful as always! Love that cactus in your gutter and the green flowering one. Josh: Congrats on yours too! Yahoo. I saw some of yours and quite impressed after a long winter. If you posted a few of yours here, that too would be just awesome since I know you are a gritty mix grower too!:-)))))))) Thanks so much for your support and kind comments along with the help to be able to do this everyone! Hi Gail and Kemistry. Mike

Eileen, Here's the recipe I use... 1 box (8 quart) powdered milk 1 lb. Nestles Quik 2 c. powdered sugar 6 oz. Coffee Mate powdered creamer 1/4 t. salt Just throw everything together. Use several spoonfuls per cup of hot water. If it's not creamy enough, I imagine you could just add more creamer. Janet
