I'm more to working out in my Lazy Boy, with my remote in hand! Sticking tongue out But that's only from 6:00'ish till bedtime. The other hand has my glass of wine. Whistling

Jim I have them both but I have not listed them yet. My routine is that once I get new plants in, and they are generally in 4", solid plastic, air-cone-like pots, I will quarantine them for two weeks. I will then re-pot them all in mesh-pots, 3.75" pots if small plants and/or few roots, or in 5" ones for larger plants/lots of roots (unless I am mounting them). I then like to wait 1-4 weeks to allow them to acclimate/rest. IF everything looks good then, I will post them on my website and show the month that the plants were received. I generally won't post them on eBay for another month. I like to give my "regular" customers first dibs on the best of the lot. I know you are very experienced and perhaps don't care that I like to "baby" new plants for awhile, but I just feel better when I do it this way.

:thankyou: Jim for all that information. Your knowledge and ability to correct my genera, spelling, and capitalization is a treasure to me. Actually I had the lower case "a" on "aphrodite" and the two "l's" on the "bellina". ATP must have some sort of "spell-check", because though I typed in the lower case "a", it was changed when I typed it. It happened again just now and I went back and changed it to lower case. I simply mistyped the "bellina". I also got in Blc. Mem. Joe Lopez 'Pauwela' and I assume that has been changed to "Rlc." and Pot. Exotic Ruby x Blc. Mem. Mary Anderson, and I assume that "Pot." is "Rth." and the "Blc." is "Rlc." now. None of my commercial growers/hybridizers will ever change a name on their labels.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
