Saintpfla, sorry for the delayed response. I lost track of this thread and ran acrossed it looking for something else. I am not good at looking at pics for id's. To me it doesn't look the same but I could be wrong. On the swamp bay, if you break the leaf apart, it smells alot like bay leaf. The new leaves are soft and fuzzy and the old leaves are not. The new leaves on your pic look the same as the older ones. The flower is so very small it is hard to tell when it is open and the flower is greenish. I don't remember a smell to the flower.

This is not an Eastern Lubber. It is Schistocerca obscura (Fabricius). This species belongs to a group of especially strong fliers called "bird" grasshoppers. Its taste for certain valuable ornamental plants such as hibiscus often brings it into conflict with humans . From this link with excellent photos for ID: Here is a link that might be useful: Common Grasshoppers in Florida

Hello Ken, Yes, I like to sterilize potting-mixes too. I make my own blend. Mostly peat, harvested sand and some biochar and (sorry) "twist of lime". The sand is important as it gives good drainage AND weight to the pot. Tiffany and Gardengal, I know IDing plants can difficult and posting pictures are often the simplest way to ID plants. (I guess I posted the picture twice.) I am interested in what exactly this plant is and any available on-line plant ID sites. Thank you! Doug

I really just can't see pokeweed or kalanchoe in that picture so I'm going to go another way and say that it's Campanula rapunculoides.
