    Beautiful blooms and really healthy plants Tom.

    I guess I really have to get myself another of those plants. I don't have anything growing in the house, except dust bunnies, and I am beginning to miss the color of indoor blooms.

    Those are beautiful, my grandmother used to have a huge one hanging on her front porch & Ive wanted one for a long time but I can never seem to find them at the big garden centers here.

    That first one is awesome. Never seen one grow that large. I don't seem to have much luck with them. I plan on getting another and see if I can do better by it!! Hopefully it will last past New Years Day. :D

    I'm hoping mine are going to look as good as yours soon Tom. I have one tiny bud so far so fingers crossed as I think these plants are really lovely. :-D

    I love them and love to see the different shades. Mine are big juicy buds - I must take a piccy before they burst open. Mine are always late as they grow in the conservatory where at this time of year it is rather chilly.
