Love your birdhouse! It's an aparment building. that's some barn too. Vickie

Sue, the Etap hotel is a few steps below a motel 6...quite a few steps in fact. LOL! The rooms were tiny, which were expected but the floor was really grungy and the toilet/shower area were a one piece porta potty plastic unit that had been put into a corner of the room. It was very small and the floor area by the toilet got soaked when you showered. The shower stall area was barely big enough to turn around in. Now I wish I had taken a picture! Patti, I think the house I used to live in was torn down and a new one put in it's place, there were a lot of new homes there. The town was very small, just one street with one tiny restaurant and a coffin maker. That was it...not even a post office. Stacy, yeah, I think I should've learned after our trip out west. Some of it was fun but for the most part they weren't interested in a lot of it. I've downloaded my pictures and will start posting them. Wish I had taken more videos, they are pretty funny because they are so BAD! LOL!

Maryl. City of New Orleans gets better during the day.. Heat does not cause ill effects on CONO., and in fact it seems to thrive on heat. The other newer one I have noticed being impervious to direct hot sun all day is the delicate appearing Sweet Isabella; same at 6:00Pm as 6:00 AM except for being prettier with the recurve. I think LH is either very good or very bad...I am lucky to be on the very good side.Thanks you Nancy, WD always does so well here it has put up a third set of bloom spikes. And I agree about BC...I like the color and the name amuses me. I have bought more than one plant when the name was the tipping point to buy one I like anyway. Thank you Dick. Nice to here coming from you.

I used to have one of those plants, and I always stripped all but the top tiny leaves and rooted them in water. You just have to be careful to change the water daily, because they hate stagnant water. Tip cuttings 6-8 inches long can be rooted in soil, but again, take off all but the top two tiny leaves or they'll wilt. They usually come back after they wilt, but I've had to completely soak the whole stick in water a couple of times and let them soak overnight to perk back up. Good luck! My monarchs never liked mine too much, but it was pretty.
