    Hi every one it's been awhile since i been here, I'm glad to be back,I woke up to such a suprise this morning,I was looking at my front flower bed and looked down a saw my big potted hibiscus tree and I looked down under it was coming up a calla lily, It had to be growing under it but how in the heck did it get out from under that big hibiscus tree the calla is pretty good size I don't know how I missed it . It is probably 10 inches tall what made it out from around the pot, I just thought I would share.Nice to be back. Margie :D

    Yes, Hi Margie. You have been missed. Glad you came back. THe calla was a nice surprise, huh? I potted up somelast year and they came right back this year. I love them. The first one to bloom was a pretty pink one for me. What color was yours?
    Was this the hibiscus you sent me seeds from? Do you have any more hibiscius seeds? I would be willing to try them again. I had one germinate, but never grew past the cotyledon stage. Just hung around with the first two "leaves" and then eventually passed on :'( I was so excited I got one to germinate and then kapooey! gone.

    Hello there, nice to see you. Imagine that, a calla lily! :D I'm a bit envious of you who can grow them outside. They're potted plants here. I hope it's got pretty blooms.
