Barb, don't feel bad. One time I had a 3 or more windows opened. Different forums..I accidently typed in a post that was meant for another thread in a different forum..it was so embarrassing. lol.

Is there a lot of snow where you are? The weather channel said IN got hit, big time.
Is it -13 w/the wind chill or normal temp? Sheesh..Why do we live in such cold places? lol..
My brother told me it was -1F in Chicago, about an hour ago, -34 w/the wind chill..Several suburban schools are closed today.

Barb, I'm terribly sorry about your husband..Poor guy..Is there anything that can be done? How does a fall cause Parkinsons? I hope and pray he'll be okay...hugs

Do you have a picture of your plant room? What type of roses and are they potted? If you're able to keep roses in an enclosed area, don't ever think you're a brown thumb..Keeping roses indoors is a very difficult task.
They're spider mite magnets for one. God knows the number of diseases roses are prone to. Are they standards or minis?
What other plants do you have?

What temp is your plant room? So is the area your Party Time in, warm or cool? or cold? Is it getting any natural sun?
On Dave's Garden, ppl posted pics of their Alternanthera, Party time. I think there are 5 pics on the right hand side. Although they're Party Time, each are a bit different in color. Have you seen them?

I too like winter sowing..What did you mean when you said, "I like to sow a lot of my plants around February.?"
Did you mean to say, you like rooting cuttings?

If you have a pic of your plant room and plants, please post..Toni

Dear Hopeful:-sorry that I have been unable to answer before but DH had to be admitted to the hospital on Saturday with pneumonia. Indeed we have had a lot of snow--in fact I had to drive home in a blizzard on Saturday night after admitting my husband to the hospital. I could not even see which side of the road I was on because the wind and snow were blowing so hard. I thanked the Good Lord that I reached home safely. Not good at the technicals concerning pictures, etc. My plants that I keep inside are in the basement under florescent lights and are on containers that have water underneath that wicks upward.The Party Time is there. Meant to say that I don't plant my seeds until usually February. It has been so terribly cold here that I doubt they would ever sprout. I don't even like to go out there in the little attached greenhouse. It is too darned cold!!! Thanks for the interest, Toni. - Barb

Barb, I've been busy working on the house..I just noticed your post.

How is your husband? Oh Lord, I hope he's better. You must have been a nervous wreck, driving to the hospital in the middle of a snow storm?
I really hope he's better, home with you, safe and sound. And healthy..Keep me posted..Toni
