Marsha S. Smith June 22, 2005

Thanks everyone. Your comments are always welcome and mean a lot to me.

Steve - the funny thing about this plant - someone at work had it as a gift and it was dying. Another girl at work said give it to Marsha and she can revive it. I really don't do pot plants so stuck it in the ground last year and it did beautifully and this is its first bloom this season. It came back is doing really well again. #1507505
