Already on it's way it looks like.<br /><br />ricki, I wish these flowers were white. Then they might get to stay.<br /><br />compost, nice to see you too! Hope to see the group photo (with you photoshopped in) soon.<br /><br />Ryan, I figure I brought home 2 since there are a couple of stems in the container (which is probably even worse). Hopefully it will make like the gingers I know and multiply...<br /><br />Mark and Gaz, the red is why I noticed it...if the stem was green I probably would have walked on by.<br /><br />MulchMaid, would you believe that not once during my 4 days at the hotel was the TV turned on? I am not a very good American. They were giving us plants right and left during the fling! Mine were all lined up on the table by the window soaking up the sun. Many of them (things not dangerous enough) found a loving home at a friends house in Seattle.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-25265817183096544622011-07-27T08:20:18.751-07:002011-07-27T08:20:18.751-07:00Nice!
