I keep dreaming of San Diego close to the beach w/ a nice breeze blowing on me, lol! Been there and like it but too crowded and takes lots of moola to live there and I would want at least an acre of land. So it's a big dream! I think tropicals would make it real nice down there!

Here is a pic of N 'Indian Goddess'. Magoo gave it to us when we visited 2 weeks ago. It should help diversify the genetics of my future hybrids. Thanks Magoo!

Here are a couple of new pics of #5 and #6. They look much better than their first flowers.

Two new blooms opened yesterday and today in a 4'x4'x16" heated foam and fiberglass tank in a greenhouse. They are from tubers of last Fall's seedlings that did not bloom.

I'm seeing more and more blue and less and less purple. They are looking good there Gary, I'm going to try and get down there soon! Been really bouncing trying to get everything done to get the new house., tractor, and equipment. We should close about the end of the month or shortly there after, then the sellers need some time to move since they have to wait for me to close before they have the funds to close on their house and move out. Should be in the new house sometime between Valentines and Suzanne's Birthday (Feb. 22).
