Vanessa, I did not suspect that you were anything but a satisfied customer of Naylor Creek. I was glad to get your advice and a reference. I tried to call this afternoon but no one was at home. Will try again tomorrow. I have a fairly small yard and a particular plan that I'm trying to get put together. I've used quite a few hostas but need two more. There is nothing wrong with being a hosta collector with one example of many different hostas, it is just not the way I'm going. So I'm looking for some larger plants to get things showing up a little sooner. I have added Abiqua Drinking Gourd, Praying Hands, Striptease, Blue Mouse Ears, Devil's Advocate, Blueberry Waffles, Blue Legend, Francee, and Night Before Christmas. Generally these have been multiple larger sized plants that are well on their way. A couple of my friends have some larger, well established plants that have been the inspiration. Babka, Thanks for the link.

I agree with ABC that this, so far, is the best season ever. And by that they, and I, mean that the first week all of the "stars" did a very decent dance. Some of them were really, really good, and no one "sucked." This week, for their second dances, some of them didn't do as well (got out of sync with their partner, missed steps, etc.), but overall, the caliber of dancing was what we never saw until at least the 5th week in previous seasons. Jack Wagner played Frisco on General Hospital for many years. He also had a #1 hit with his song You're All I Need, and he had a few other hits, too, although I don't think any of the others got to #1. He was also on Melrose Place for several years, which is where most people know him from. When he was on GH, he fell in love with his on-screen girlfriend-then-wife, and they married in real life and had two sons together. Eventually they divorced, and when he was on Melrose Place he got involved with Heather Locklear. They've been together for many years now, and recently got engaged and then broke the engagement. I don't know if they're still seeing each other or not. Melissa Gilbert started on Little House on the Prarie when she was just a little bitty thing. I don't know what she's done other than that, but she's best known for LHoTP. Donald Driver would be familiar to folks who are into football, especially if you follow the Packers. William Levy is, as noted above, a star on Telenova, which is a Spanish-speaking network. I think he was pretty much unknown to the majority of the USA until Monday night last week. :-) He looks, to me, quite a bit like Ricky Martin. This week's show had a lot of camera shots of William's wife and son in the audience. Sherri Shepherd, for those who have never seen The View, might know her from the Stephanie Plum movie One for the Money -- she portrayed Lula, the hooker-turned-file clerk. Katherine Jenkins is a classical singer who performed on one of the DWTS results shows last season or the season before. She has a beautiful voice (go to Amazon.com and listen to samples of the songs on her albums), a beautiful face, and a great body. I was very impressed by how well she did in both of her dances. Gavin DeGraw -- I'd never heard of him before this season of DWTS! I'm not terribly impressed with his dancing so far, either. Don't think he'll last very long. Martina Navratilova is someone who should be familiar to anyone who follows pro tennis, although she's been retired for a while now. She did a lot better than I expected on her first dance, but she messed up this week. I give her kudos for even venturing to do this show. Roshon Fegan is another one whom I'd never heard of, but I don't watch the Disney channel, and don't have nieces/nephews or grand/nieces or nephews in the right age range to be ga-ga over him. I was surpised this week that he managed to keep the hip hop out of his dance routine. Maria Menounos is a host of one of those entertainment-news type shows, although I'm not sure which one. She does have a horrible laugh, though, doesn't she? I've had one broken rib and I know all too well how painful it was, so I can't imagine doing those routines with two broken ribs! Ouch! Kudos to her for even attempting it!! Jaleel White has, I think, been pretty much out of the public eye for quite a while and is best known for being the nerdy/goofy character named Urkel many years ago when he was just a kid. He did a great dance last week, but I agreed with the judges this week that his second dance wasn't as good as his first. Glady Knight -- everyone should be familiar with Gladys Knight and the Pips! I predict that she'll continue on the show for many weeks, but won't make it anywhere near the finals.

I agree that Brooke might win this. But I love Warren! I also agree that the "big" dance number they were all hyping last night was totally lame. The choreography was boring and the dancers were weak. Although the street dancers were great. As for Cloris - well, somebody is voting for her. She's still on. As annoying as she can sometimes be, I think for some people she is representing more than just the dancing. To see an 82 year old woman as active as she is, is something. I should be so lucky at her age. In my personal opinion I think Cloris is more about age and attitude than about the dancing, and I suspect that is why she is still being voted in. Not to say she isn't annoying at times!

I'm sorry she's ill (I'm still skeptical), but I think Tamar is an arrogant, self serving, show off. I won't miss her. I've watched most of the DWTS seasons and I don't remember disliking anyone as much as I dislike her
