On a totally different note, I was wondering if your kalimeras(sp) cutting did anything for you. The mother plant became my all time favorite this year. It has been blooming since June with more blooms still coming. <em>Maggie, We had the same experience with the kalimeris in the North Garden (where your cutting was added in - thanks again!) - they're done now but all through the heat they bloomed gangbusters. -kris</em> I go from outside growing to inside growing with my houseplants.

I added some to Robin's room this weekend. I better go resurrect them since I forgot they were there. Embrace autumn! <em>Layanee, no doubt about it, flowers last longer on the plant... But when I don't last as long in the garden, it works out to bring the flowers in! And I've got my arms around autumn for sure now.

You need a cutting garden and I simply don't have the room. I like making living arrangements with potted plants for this reason. They change and grow and I can change them up. <em>Susan, it's true.
