Your new plants look interesting but I'm not a fan of red and yellow foliage. To me the plant looks sick. I don't mind if it is all red or all yellow just not bicolour. :)Melanie J Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265452434129642917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-66086520914472656682010-05-21T00:57:35.691-03:002010-05-21T00:57:35.691-03:00Definately got to have one of those Canadian o can...Definately got to have one of those Canadian o canada plants, even I could tolerate that as a house plant and possibly not kill it with neglect!

I'm still wiped out, but have been screamingly productive the past few days AND managed to do a bit in the garden when it isn't blowing a gale of wind. Now we could just use some rain. I can't believe I actually wrote that, but it's true. Even here on the hill, it's a bit on the dry side. All that wind, instead of fog.
