I WS Laurentia this year. They germinated well and started blooming mid-August. I'd like to point out the color in the photo on T & M's website is off. Theirs shows up as a purplish color. Mine are blooming a very pretty blue. This was not what I expected, so I poked around on the web and found most photos of them show up as a medium blue. Very pretty and nice foliage. Lindalana says "Laurentia blooms into second year" Does that mean that they will bloom over the winter if brought inside? Or that if protected over winter, they will bloom again next year?

There's a photo of the bloom of Carlos Lantana on Grower's Outlet website. You can click on the latin name on the Availability link page for photos of most of the things they sell. They have several varieties of lantana for $1.00 each this weekend. I was there today. They have many, but in very small pots and are only a rooted cutting. They are not labeled, so you need to know what the photo looks like so you get what you want. Or just buy one of each color combination, like I did. (Bought so much I'll be planting for a month.) Some are quite long and leggy. Prune it shorter and root what you cut. www.growersoutlet.com http://www.growersoutlet.com/pages/availability.html Grower's outlet is closing for the summer on Sunday, June 13 (this weekend). Opens again for the fall on August 19. Here is a link that might be useful: Grower's Outlet card with photo of Carlos bloom

yes, I've tried it and it's an excellent solution. I also use it to scrub my feet in the shower, I then immediately after put on sockettes to absorb some of the oil and not leave marks on the floor.

Hi all, Living in Arizona, I'm not real excited about the prospect of frying my skin during the summers while out in the pool. But I want to be able to enjoy my pool more. I'm looking for a lounge chair that has a canopy. Here are some I've found so far that look like possibilities: Feel good chair loungerhref> Feel good lounger (basically the same thing but full length"href> Sports stuff cabriolethref> and Sunsation pool lounger/boat towhref> Has anyone had any experience with any of these? Alternatively, does anyone know of any other pool lounger/chair (one I can sit up in, not just lie down) that has a canopy or how I might rig a canopy on a chair that doesn't have one? Thanks, Dr. meo
