Yep, we'll both have some serious heat soon! The soil would probably need to be replaced before the Kalanchoe outgrows that pot, at which point I would probably remove the old soil from the roots, replace with new, back in the same pot. This kind of plant can grow in a crack in pavement. If you still have the leaves you trimmed, you can lay them somewhere, like just on a shelf, or on the surface of another pot, and babies should grow on the leaves, with roots! Should make flowers similar to the pic below sometime in the next year. Some people keep their tuberous Begonias alive for summer by bringing them into the air conditioning. Mine had melted well before people got hot! I'm in Alabama, gardening zone 8, that's what the stuff next to my user name means. You can set yours in your profile, then it will show up next to your name when you post. Location has more to do with house plants than a lot of people think. Like in the case of tuberous Begonias! Knowing one's state is usually fine for house plant advice, you can find your garden zone here by typing your ZIP code in the box, hit enter. That's more for outdoor gardening, but can come into play in warmer areas where some 'house plants' can survive living in the ground permanently as well as its' main function of letting people know which plants sold as ground plants can survive in their location.

Looks like a celosia.

I'd really been wondering when the redbuds would show that first blush of color and finally .... just in the last day or two, they are showing up along the roadsides. A deer visited a few days ago and snacked on some of my tulips :( but the ones that are left are beginning to bloom and they are beautiful! Phlox is now blooming and the hostas are growing fast. I'm now pretty sure that the tree that I thought might be a crabapple is just that, and it looks like another small tree is a redbud (yay). It's fun discovering what's growing here, now that the weather has finally decided to warm up. A neighbor said 12 wild turkeys were in our yard the other day, but we were at work so we missed seeing them. The street we live on is called Turkey Run Drive, so now we now how it got its name :). Oh, and one bit of good news .... they started the dirt work where the building will go, and when they stripped off the bermuda grass the land is mostly nice dirt, with only one little strip of red clay running through it. This may have once been farmland, or a pasture. So that's good news for the vegetable garden. Suzie

Not a lot of detail there but if it's flowering now I'd guess Clerodendrum wallichii (other name C. nutans) sort of hang like bridal veils?
