Those are so lovely, Sandra! Thanks for the link. I love your house so much!

Janie, you've had so much growing outside, I don't see how you'd have much time for indoor plants, too.:-)

I am actually down to just a few, myself. I used to have scads of them, but now I've only got some fairly rare ones and some old family "retainers." The hibiscus has been in the family about 40 years, at least. I've kind of grown up with it.:-)

My fav. place to buy them, esp. when I lived there and could just drive up to their place, is Logee's Greenhouse in CT. That's where I bought the Billbergia. Lucky it survived. The postperson left it in our mailbox out front in over 100 degree(F) heat, instead of bringing it to the door and almost cooked it and one other baby I'd ordered. The latter did not survive being cooked. The package was clearly marked as "Live Plants," too. Nice to see the one grow up and bloom so beautifully.:-)
