Yes. THANK GOODNESS IS RIGHT JODI! I was just at HD lastnight when I noticed all knds of bulbs, seeds, and many spring items coming in! Guess what I saw surrounding all the seeds and bulbs like the great wall of China? Big bags of Miracle Grow...lol Yup. Somebody is making tons of money on that stuff. Not from me anyway. By the way, I also saw tons of houseplants, mostly all of them left for dead! All were so dehydrated, including the beautiful Hoya's they had just gotten two weeks ago. The mix in those pots was peat based and hard as a rock! They were also infested with mites! My goodness, I will never take a plant home from them this time of year. We are happy you are watching yourself and not pushing anymore huge piles in wheel barrows. Lets's bring in the warm temps. Suppose to be in the 50's by next weeks end and finally, just maybe I can finally draw some fresh water from my 30 gallon barrel that has been frozen since December. I can't even see any of my bushes or shrubs under all this snow. I can't wait just to see the ground again.:-) Xuan: I would love to see some pics of your flowering bulbs. I would also like to say to you that I am so happy to see that you are no longer getting any snow..lol -3 degrees this am with temps in my popup at 40. I hope to God that my Hoya's make it ok since I forgot to bring them in. It should be warmer from here on out, thank God. Have a happy Friday everyone! Mike

Thanks so much!! As always, I knew I could count on a quick response. I looked up Partridge Pea and didn't even realize it was #4, not 3. :)

Thanks, Josh. Ima - These four have come from four different sources. - I got the Bursera from Tropiflora (he had a bunch of older ones a few years ago). - The Fockea from a local nursery here in Massachusetts - was very surprised to see it there, too. It did not look much like it does now. Back then, it was mostly buried and had a bunch of vines wound through a trellis. - The Euphorbia and the Dorstenia from two different sellers on eBay. Most of my other succulents (Madagascar and S. African) I have sourced from Out of Africa, Great Petaluma Desert, and Rare Succulents - all on the web. I usually get a species in mind, then I start hunting! Tom

The third picture is of a "bunny ear" cactus. The scientific name is Optuntia Microdasy. I am unsure of the other two. Regarding the "babies" on the first picture, you may want to leave them alone until you see what they're doing. You can cut them off and try to propagate them. I'm not sure how successful it will be because of their size.
