Hi Heather,

Glad to hear the medium was a-ok. That's a beautiful plant you have there! (Makes me want to get one myself!) Thanks for sharing!!

Gorgeous plant, Heather! Nothing better than a big healthy plant with fat roots.

LOL! Synthetic moss. Who would have thought? I've never even heard of the stuff!

That is a gorgeous, incedibly well-grown plant. You definitely got your money's worth, not only in size, but quality. Should do great for you!

I'm glad the little things weren't bugs. But seeing now how nicely grown that plant is, I'd have been pretty surprised to find pests anywhere near that.

Great acquisition!

Thanks everyone!I'm pretty happy about it too! Yeah, synthetic moss? I looked online to no avail. Would have liked to post a pic! The person on the phone new exactly what it was when I said it looked like pills off a sweater! lol! Learn something new every day!

Oh, I forgot to mention. To me, the blooms are very slightly fragrant - faintly like roses. Pete says I'm crazy tho...so, could just be my nose playing tricks on me. Maybe I'm just so in love w/ the plant?

I took a few more sunny pics last night, which I'll post from work later.

[Heather]

Okay, weird sun thing but I think this came out rather cool.

Nice pic and I like the rays of sunlight shining down on the plant. Very cool effect! I like.

ME too Heather! Very cool effect.

Cheers!

Thanks! I thought it looked neat. Sun is a fun thing to play w/ when photographing, but I have a hard time with the digicam. The viewing window is impossible to view through if there is any glare at all. So, I can't really tell what I am doing, or what it will look like until I see the image on the computer screen.

They look not from this world, Heather. I really like the shot with those flowers so strongly backlit. Don't they look so alien? I think so, anyway.
