Good News - I potted my two 'Candy Festival' rhizomes. I used a high grade soil and placed it in bright light. Growth has been decent and I am happy. I decided to plant them in the ground. When I pulled the rhizomes out of the pot I was surprised by how much the rhizome had increased in size. Bad News - I had to go out of town last week and it froze over night. I was not at home to cover them for safety. I lost all growth on one rhizome and the other only has freeze burn on the edge of the foliage. Only the foliage was affected by the freeze. I checked the rhizomes and they seem healthy enough to keep trucking ( fingers crossed ) The 'Pink Sunburst' rhizomes are toast. I will order some from Hughs Water Shop (?). I have seen good reponses from people that have purchased from them. Zitro_Joe

Do you have any callas to trade? Sally

The D90 kit lens is great, my only knock on it is the platic mount, but you'll get that on any kit lens. The video on the D90 is nothing to write home about. I rarely, rarely use the live view, so I find no interest in one that tilts. To me that would be a waste. but you might find it handy. I think you be happy with either one, but you did list more Pros for the 90. I have never used the D5000 so I can not compare the low light ability, but the D90 is nice.

Those are good shots. I also take a lot of pictures because they don't cost anything and it's fun. I sometimes will take ten shots of one thing trying to get the just right one. I bought the computer and my family bought me everything else to go with it. They think because I'm retired I needed a hobby.
