It's really a marvel and perfect for me since I'm a night owl.

I enjoy the gardens again in the fall. <br /><br />Hi Tatyana, thanks, I hope to have one more round of blooms. <br /><br />Hi Rose, I am happy to send you a cutting. Seems many have this one already. <br /><br />Hi Tina, I will have to read the newsletter at Dave's Garden, I don't go there regularly.<br /><br />Hi VW, Let me know if you change your mind or if you want to try in the spring when you can have it outside. I keep mine in the garage in the winter. I have enough 'houseplants' for inside during the winter.<br /><br />Hi Littlewing, I am glad you have one rooted... (feed it banana peels-- gets mine blooming, if it is a small pot, just use part of a peel, buried in the soil.)<br /><br />Hi Gail, Well, if you want one later on...rooted during the summer, you can keep it in the garage. When my cat was alive she ate so many of my indoor plants. <br /><br />Hi Catherine, Glad you like the photos too. The structure of this bloom is so amazing. <br /><br />Hi Frances, Hope yours blooms for you soon. Mine took a couple of years to be mature enough to bloom. Each year it has put out more and more blooms.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-40199605986008457552009-09-14T20:59:00.228-04:002009-09-14T20:59:00.228-04:00I never tire of seeing this, from end to beginning...I never tire of seeing this, from end to beginning!
