Hi Dax, I am interested in your sweet corn serendipity. I have mostly flower seeds for trade but I also have seeds to a really nice meaty pink tomato called caspian pink. Check my list to see if there is anything you would like to trade for. Diana

Thanks all .................this is when the many hours of fertilizing and watering pay off. I am very blessed to have such beauty to behold. This Dr. Seuss is the original cutting I received back in '05 from a gardener in the Houston area. I was not even using the computer back then and my friend Patrick emailed her and told her I was looking for cuttings. She called me and asked how many I wanted and I replied just a few. She said, "come on, you're a gardener, take many", so she sent me 32 cuttings, and told me to put them inground. I did just that with this one and he loves where he was planted. I have such fond memories of the brug gurus who guided me through my "newbie" stages............learned so much from them, many of whom are hybridizers and their "crosses" are still on the market........ Mountain Magic and New Orleans Lady are two that come to mind. Those of you in warmer climates should have no problem with these at all.

Cassandra I have more than 2 probably about 30 can you email a pix of your coins not fancy, just put them on the kitchen counter and click away plus let know how many plants you would like (or I can make an offer once I see what coins you have) jeff1039 jptlet19901995@yahoo.com

It's partly the camera, but this particular bloom round was simply a lot more pink than before. Flower color and size to some degree can be affected by temperature and other conditions. It's perfectly normal. If it had bloomed in late spring when it was 20 degrees warmer in my growing space than it is now, it would probably have been more peach. My cymbidiums do the same thing. They tend to bloom darker orange in cooler weather and paler orange for me in high summer heat. *shrugs* It's -WAY- more changeable with some of my gesneriads like my streptocarpus or african violets. They can change colors completely and temperature drastically alters how much white the blooms display, or not. For example, here is one of my streptocarpus 'Valor' blooming in spring. Pale with lots of yellow and network of purple, as is typical for this hybrid. But here is the /exact/ same plant blooming in winter in my chilly art studio. Lots of purple, and this is a consistent repeated cycle of color variation I see a lot in my collection with the changes of seasons. We don't commonly see it in orchids as much and they also tend to bloom in set times of the year with less seasonal variation.
