Hate to say it but I'm not exactly sure... An unlabeled gift from a DBG volunteer friend ... and *she* wasn't sure, either. People over in Cactus & Succulents thought it was a variety of Echinopsis oxygona, a notoriously varied species. I have two, with the same bloom -- one is rounded and spreading (as in the A. sinkatana post), and this one is more recumbent. Any ID guesses will be appreciated. Don't think it's an Epiphyllum. The scent is nice though it doesn't match up to the visual. But it sure is pretty. Husband loved it, and even my non-planting daughter gave it a "WOW." Thanks for allowing me to share. Zill

Here is another fascinating one from that time period. It is a story of a German pilot who allowed a gravely disabled plane to make it back to base and even escorted it part of the way. A very remarkable story that my son read this year. Here is a link that might be useful: A Higher Call

What perfect Valentine presents! Couldn't be better! Hope your tests came out with good results! ~ Carol ~

We researched grills for a year before we bought, and basically thought Weber is the best in that price range (didn't think the high-end grills were that much better or would get that much more use to justify going up to that level, in the multiple thousands, even though we did splurge on high-end indoor appliances) Our previous grill was a Weber that lasted about 12 years before it finally rusted apart - but it still worked! We had it propped up for months before we gave it up. Of course we use the grill often where we are only grilling the meat and the rest of the meal is indoors. We use the side burner pretty much every time we plan to eat outside for whatever the side dish is (beans, vegetable, rice, whatever) - prep inside and cook it outside. We also use the rotisserie pretty regularly for chicken and pork roasts. We always have a spare full propane tank handy. The next door neighbor just changed it out last night while he was cooking his dinner, and you're going to think this is crazy, but we took down the fence and we share the giant grill and tiki hut with our neighbors. The arrangement works beautifully.
