Greg: Indeed it is always Spring or Summer in your neck of the woods. You guys have it too easy out there! I may live in the Arctic, but I'm a tropical guy at heart. And this horrific winter has sealed the deal, I'm moving south this year, come hell or high water. I would love to be surrounded outdoors by lovely plants like yours instead of a five foot mountain of snow outside my window, and the dull brown and grey of leafless trees. Good job on your plants, all looking great. Christopher

These are the right dates for the 2014 Spring Break Plant Sale at SABG. I bumped up last years sale post yesterday. Sorry about that. Thanks Joey for catching it. This post was edited by roselee on Tue, Mar 4, 14 at 19:44

As Joey reminded me -- today is the first day of the SABG plant sale. They always offer a lot of good plants for our area.

Yoyobon, a "shape" is a dessert called a blancmange. Here's the Wikipedia definition: Blancmange (play /blÃÂÃÂmÃÂnÃÂ/ or /blÃÂÃÂmÃÂÃÂndÃÂ/, French: [blÃÂÃÂmÃÂÃÂÃÂ]; also known as shape) is a sweet dessert commonly made with milk or cream and sugar thickened with gelatin, cornstarch or Irish moss[1] (a source of carrageenan), and often flavored with almonds. It is usually set in a mould and served cold. Although traditionally white, blancmanges are frequently given a pink color as well. Some similar desserts are Bavarian cream, vanilla pudding (in US usage), panna cotta, and haupia.
