One thing we can surmise from TM's clues: his bedside clock is probably digital. Bingo, Ana! And you are, of course, right about Picasso having many styles. In my not-very-informed mind, I was picturing his wacky eyes-both-on-same-side-of-nose style. I don't know if that is part of the cubist style or exactly what, but it's what I always think of when I think of Picasso. I'm a little bit smarter about that now, though not much. Edna - I'm really looking forward to seeing your sunflower field painting. Please post it as soon as you can. ThinMan

Amber that sounds awful! I hope you're feeling better, I know how that can hurt! There was too much there for me to think I'd seen everything; I know there are things I wish I'd remembered while there. I bought a bunch of nice orchids including a Maxillaria whatever - the coconut one - I've been wanting and a 10 gal aquarium for $2 for another cuttings greenhouse. I looked at that 50 and thought nope, I sold mine and it's way too big for me to lift, glad someone got it who wanted it. If you haven't been down don't worry! There's still a lot there! Someone suggested name tags with our screen names so we'd be able to meet everyone, that would have been fun. Good luck Oz and thank you so much for passing on your plants - I am sorry to meet when you're leaving. Suzanne

Roxanne, here's another pic of your beautiful plumie Here's another pic of Allison's *toomanyplumeria" (thanks, Dan!) Gold Coast Peachy And here's a travel size version of Gold Coast Peachy that someone else on this list ordered! Pics of the sale - first is Matthew the owner in front of his huge greenhouse It's pretty big Happy plumeria shoppers and lots of plants Rainbow 36 Key West Red I almost got this Musk Rainbow, but my wallet was depleted by this point! I did get this old school classic, Lei Rainbow, couldn't help myself Can't remember the name of this one, I think it was just a white pink rainbow Here are a few more I believe this was an Amarron's Curly White seedling Magnum Opus It was a really good sale, lots of fun. I also picked up a Thai Orange. No inflo, but I should have taken a pic of the mother tree. I did find a pic at FloridaColors.com - this is their pic, not mine, as they sell cuttings of this beauty. Florida Colors pic: This was a beauty. Couldn't decide between Thai Orange and Lei Rainbow, so I got both. But that's all I got for me, which was truly an exercise in discipline!
