    You'll have to excuse me, Jasmine...Spring is around the
    corner and I'm really getting ahead of myself. The flowers
    are STILL gorgeous...and, of course they would be in
    your area.

    They don't look ratty to me! I just love the LM and the Cherry Slush is really nice. I hadn't seen the bloom on that one before.

    Very nice Lenette. We are counting on the Floridians to get us through the winter with their pics.

    Beautiful Flowers, it's hard to pick just one, you're
    lucky to have Blooms in winter, I can't wait till spring

    Wow, Lenette! Looking good. My Cherry Slush cutting didn't make it through the rooting process. Yours looks great. You've got a lot blooming and I agree with Karyn... they don't look ratty to me.

I too, thank you folks down south for the fixes..sure does help with the winter blues! Supposed to be in the single digits here tonight and tomorrow am..maaaybe a high of 13 tomorrow? just nuts..been in the teens the last few days..i HATE it! DH and I were talking about FL a few nights ago..I was looking at houses & getting kinda depressed. He's worried about finding a job down there though..one that pays what he makes now! I don't care, I am at the point where you can just give me a trailer on some land and I'll be happy..ok maybe not really, lmao, but it could work for a while...as long as I'm warm!!!

    Glad to help out with the brug fixes lol. It froze here good last night and I covered everything but still haven't been out today to see what all bit the dust lol. My dh had an accident with the table saw and did some major damage to his thumb so I've been busy driving him to the doctor's appts and such.

    Danielle, I think that FL is a low paying state for a lot of things compared to some other places I've lived. I know it is for healthcare related jobs. On the other hand, it doesn't seem all that expensive to live here. I hear lots of complaints about the cost of housing/flood insurance etc. when you live close to the coast or flood prone areas. I like it here so far.
    Maybe Bob can expand on what parts of FL are good for what types of jobs and where to live etc. lol.

    Lemon meringue is very easy to grow. She dropped a few buds early on but once she got to a few feet high she bloomed good even with the heat and humidity. I think that since some of her flowers are quadruples and most are triples, that the flowers are quite heavy and maybe that's why they dropped when the plant was small. I notice sometimes they drop when it is windy as well.

    I like cherry slushes shape too. It is very open and deepens to a nice dark color as it ages. At night the flowers recurve way back like in that first picture. They must really want to be pollinated lol.

    Lenette, I am sorry to hear about your DH's accident..I am glad it isn't worse tho! Thank god it wasnt his whole hand!
    I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers :) ((hugs))
    thanks for the info! I look at the prices down there on houses compared to up here, and I can't believe the dif. Now, if I could just won the lottery so we wouldn't have to worry bout him finding a good paying job, let alone working at all...lol
