    Don't have pics, cause 1) I don't have a camera and 2) they don't have blooms yet.

    Earlier today I was surfing the stew and saw a link for freecycle.org. I hadn't been there in a long time, so I headed on over. I mainly did that cause I wanted to see if -maybe- somebody had plants or seeds. Joined the Indy group, and lo and behold, the very first post I laid eyes on was for plants! It had just been posted today, so I sent em a message quick-like, and the person responded that yes I could have them! They said they would leave the plants on the front step and just drop by whenever to pick em up :)

    The plants are Elecampane (which was what the add was for) and a sprout from a rambler rose that they said I could have also :D They said the rose was and old-fashioned one that would bloom once in July or August, and they said its very fragrant :)

    So Im happy :D Now if I can just keep em alive :p
