Tom....any help would be very much appreciated. I love that photo that you posted. What are the specific names of your othonnas...and any idea where one could find these beauties? I tried a search on Yahoo and only found seeds...the only seeds I've ever been able to germinate have been tomato and marigold!! LOL I'd love to have at least one...with the nice trunk. Thanks so much! Fondly, Patrick

I'm a step-grandmother, and I agree, Kacee: If Diana were alive, no one would call Camilla the grandmother. I guess there are two ways to become a step-grandmother. In my case, my daughter is the stepmother. My children had a step-grandmother (my stepmother) who was never anything less than a wonderful Grandma to them. They loved her dearly. As for Diana, we're all entitled to our opinions. I'm not into saints at all, so I'm glad she wasn't one. I thought she was wonderful. And very classy. Diana married Charles the same month she turned 20 years old. I can't blame her for getting in over her head. It was probably every English girl's dream to marry a prince. I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't make the best relationship decisions when I was 19 either. ;-)

crl, i see a lot of questions here where people question their sense of style or their taste or ability to see color, etc... or seek affirmation on their choices made... even questions about how high to hang a piece of artwork make sense to me if you don't have an eye for things like that and don't want to create more work for yourself of repairing holes... but, that's different to me than questioning whether a family picture should be placed on the mantel... i am sure some people do need to discuss things more than i do even tho i am a 'hem and hawer' myself about certain things and have some serious cognitive dissonance sometimes, but i know i would never get anything done if i needed to talk everything over... there's nothing wrong with being a 'rule follower' tho, if he/she is!

I stand corrected. It is Forty Days and Forty Nights. I didn't take a picture of the label and it burned me. Gauchito Gil is indeed an unusual color and I like it a lot. It is a small (four inches) flower from Curt Hanson. It is in my guest bed from the club.
