    Hi and welcome to GardenStew from north Texas.
    What part of Florida are you in? We have several members scattered around the state. Many years ago I lived in West Palm Beach and I mean many years ago :eek:

    What kind of gardening are you interested in? Do you have any pictures you would like to share with us? :-D

    I reside in Pensacola; northwest Florida, Toni. Would much rather be further down south. :D

    My yard isn't quite equipped to do much gardenening at the moment due to the sorry excuse of a lawn the previous inhabitants kept it in; I've been working on it until a few months ago when I had my daughter... although I have recently aquired quite a collection of potted plants that I've managed to keep alive! ;)

    And they are as follows:

    two cala lillies
    palm tree
    pineapple plant
    dozens of various colored coleus leaves
    an ivy
    a few creeping charlie cuttings
    a miniature cactus that I've had for several years
    sword fern
    & a nun's orchid that I think I killed. :rolleyes:

    There are others that I may need help identifying. I apologize for the lack of scientific names and whatnot, I am completley new to plants in general! I just can't bring myself to throw them away. :(

    Pictures soon! My kitchen has been overrun with plants.

    Also, thanks Droopy! :stew2:
