    Very pretty. Isn't it amazing how brightly colored and large the blossoms are for those plants?

    Time to find a new window for mine, the pecan trees have leafed out and cut way down on the amount of bright light the side window gets now.

    They are amazing plants, we leave ours outside just under a tree throughout the summer and forget about it, and it comes back to life again each Christmas.

    I was just telling hubby last nite that I needed another window space. But I think I came up with one, after my son graduates this year he'll be moving to Ohio for college-I think I will make use out of his window (though its an east side) and move plants in there.
    I just love plants like this one, I can make new plants from these. Thanks for the comments.

    A really attractive plant Petunia and a beautiful shade of red too. I'm still waiting for mine to flower.

    Your Cactus are so pretty and colorful, Petunia. They are really something to look forward to in winter.

    That's a lovely thing, Petunia. I have one like that that is just finishing-up it's blooming.
    Aren't those flowers looking exotic?

    Lovely blooms! And so big too. They're nice plants, even though they do look a bit sad without the blooms.

    Oooooh I am envious - got to get one of them - maybe three - absolutely beautiful, the color is amazing.
    I must get one -it is water-wise after all. Just up the ally towards my new gardening aspirations.

    Thanks for the comments. I picked up 2-3 right at Christmas as they were marked too great of Price that I just couldn't resist. (bargain buy) but they weren't marked the color so I'll deffenitly have to mark this one.
