ngraham?Nancy brought it for me...Woo-hoo! Here is what she said about it. It is Pinellia pedatisecta, common name is Green Dragon. It looks very like arisaema green dragon, but Pinellia can approach being invasive. It hasn't been too much for me because I have it in a crowded area with crinum & spider lilies. It blooms several times a season so can produce lots of seeds. It can handle sun or shade, but I suspect that if it were in a really good spot it could really spread, so be careful of it. It is not picky on growing conditions. I got this originally somehow in a package of Dahlia tubers I bought. When it first came up I thought what odd looking dahlia. I planted in full sun of course, then this long spathe came up & I decided it wasn't a dahlia. I've had it about 5-6 years, hasn't been a real problem for me as I said, but I bet it could be. I tried to warn everyone I gave one to, I know I gave one to Marcia with the warning. The baby in the pot is a seedling, "might" bloom this year, they don't take nearly as long to mature as jacks. If you don't want to worry about invasive plants, toss it or trade it. It's a keeper! I can't imagine it blooming several times a season...gotta see this! I'll be careful that it doesn't escape into my native front yard woods plantings... Thanks Nancy! Sue

Hmmm, took the chocolate, did he??? LOL!! Well, I hope he appreciated that the chocolate has citrus infused olive oil in it. The olive oil, chocolate, and napkins came from the Temecula Olive Oil Company, just south of here. They have their own orchards in the Temecula Wine Country and make their own products. I bought a bottle of that garlic infused olive oil for myself and my 3 sisters for our BD's. (I also bought the blood orange infused olive oil and the vanilla balsamic vinegar for me too--their products are YUM :-))) Hope you enjoy them, julie! Barb

Oh yes, that color is beautiful and I really like the shape of the detail on the plates. Very nice. I want to see the dog toy...lol. Yes, for sure Photobucket is a very easy way. It's free plus they just made it so you have unlimited storage. Like beachlily said when you put your pictures in the album on there you'll see next to it a bunch of codes for different things. This site uses the html code so yeah, just put that right in the body of your message. Well beachlily gave rest of instructions. Just agreeing. Smiles.

I'm so glad you liked it. The Stash Licorice tea has become one of my favorites. A few swaps ago, craftycris sent me a box of this tea and now I always have some on hand. Cowtown is a nickname for Fort Worth, one of my favorite places. I just had to include that box. This was a fun swap. Of course, I had to look through all your hundreds of postings to find out more about you but that's part of the fun. I loved looking at all your trash to treasure finds. You are creative and have made some amazing things. Loved getting to know you. Karen
