Well, it's really not last minute, but I wanted to post in time for everyone to get a chance to see it: Please watch for the SR 706/Indiantown Road exit, it can be a little confusing, for example if you are coming from the south on 95, the west bound exit for Indiantown Road says to "Okeechobee". If you are coming from the south on 95, it is the exit after Donald Ross Road. On the turnpike, it might say Jupiter/Indiantown or even Okeechobee/Indiantown. Parking: I have a big circle drive, both gates will be open. You can pull through the circle drive and drop off plants before parking. I will have a wheelbarrow, boxes, a garden cart and we will You are welcome to park around the circle drive, just pull off on the right side, there are no sprinklers to worry about, just don't block the circle so others can pull through to drop off stuff. You can also park along the street. Justin, from Hammock Tropical Garden will be joining us for lunch. It is the local nursery I suggested we can take a side trip to afterwards, for anyone who is interested. It is on the way back out of Jupiter Farms. He is a wealth of information on all kinds of tropical plants and specializes in shady plants. Also forgot to mention, the swap is going to be around the pool, anyone who wants to can take a dip to cool off, so if you think you might, come prepared. I do have plenty of pool towels. Try and label the plants you are swapping, I will have extra labels here if you don't get a chance to label them in advance. Cherie

Christine, well done!! Congratulations! And congratulations to everyone else, for doing one heck of a great job! I picked up quite a few ideas from all of you wonderful OBFERS! And thank you again Sheri, for a very fun and creative swap!!!!! Happy weekend to all! Annie

Matthew Martin looks different in cooler weather than in hot weather. It is a dark brown in hot weather and a lighter brown in cooler weather. Some blooms are splotchy. If you want some, maybe we can arrange a trade. Right now, I'm quite busy.

Thanks everyone, it was fun sharing my trip with you all. I will try to get the other few photos of the garden posted tomorrow evening, won't have time tonight. Mantis, I don't think AAFC was orangeish, so it must just be the sun, perspective and/or picture showing it that way. If it's blooming when I go back, I will take a closer look at the coloration.
