    Lady Of The Night: An enjoyable very crisp scent that easily replaces any of the X-mass pine linger

    Great pic! I caught the faintest whiff...

    OK I gotta ask, what's going on with the double-decker pot behind?

    Thank you.
    I wonder if it's B. americana? Another on my wish list for this year! ;)

    Hey Wes..I know where you got that plant.Nice!

    I just love the smell too. It's so nice to when it fills the air after all the pine is gone and the cold days of winter are upon us! Have you been feeding yours? Looks like it's growing in a very good griity mix. Well done.

    Now, I have to get you started on Hoya's..lol I now have well over 16 and over, oh yes, 25 orchids..lol

    Robert, I think you might have this one already and I hope you are well these days.

    Purple, what's up? Holding on to the warmth these days I hope.

    Mike:-)

    Mike: Feeding is a yes aiming for four bloom sets this year for it. Awsum I have a chance to catch up to you your only five or more hoyas ahead of me. With 3:1 odds on you and how I just swapped three for three but got different ones and would like to keep it at that The clear hoya sin winner is you.

    Purple: The double decked pot but for you I should say warning dont try this trick at home ... Why I did it is the base pot also worked wonders for preventing any annoying wind knock overs the semi prepped gritty mix was used as counter weight while outside. Why it's still there. Well if gritty mixes didn't work so darn well with some feeding I think the double pot problem would of never happened. In a nut shell the roots went though the drain holes of top pot and are growing in bottom pot soil as well.
    Ohh quick mention I forgot to screen the bottom of the top pot when I planted the plant in top pot and will re pot top pot into bottom pot with the mix in both pots later.

    If you can say the last few lines three times fast It'll give you a hint what the trunk plant in top pot is

    Ha! That's good stuff and I've had that happen before. Best of luck unpotting it!

    I actually said it 4 times... really curious!...

    LOL Purple the hint is your small thirst after fourth time repeating I think you might need a NAME OF PLANT HERE to quench that thirst. I suspect re pot with ease but if difficult to re pot I wont hesitate in breaking the terra cotta if need be

    At first I thought pitcher, pitcher plant, but you said my thirst is small, and that wouldn't have a trunk...

    Hot chocolate trees are far too rare...

    I suddenly have a craving for orange juice...

    Does any one use real cameras any more? I haven't touched any of mine in more than a year. I admit my cell phone is not good at macro photography, but its easier to carry.
