I did propose your picture of the Jaboticaba blooms for the Database, Jim. Did you know it's botanical name is Plinia cauliflora and common name is Brazilian grape tree? There's no mention of the name Jaboticaba in the database and I'm going to find out how to add it. Is that possibly a Spanish word or name do you think?

Anyway, wonderful show and I have a few more to add, having chased butterflies around the garden with my camera for a while this afternoon . . . didn't get a single good shot of a butterfly, but:
I amputated the end of my huge Philo Pastazanum plant to send a start to Mj last fall. it pouted a bit then sent up two flowers! I think they will be white when they finally get around to opening.

Louisiana Iris 'Black Gamecock' always catches me by surprise. It's much darker than the pictures show.

Pretty little Coral Barleria is a fairly civilized groundcover, but this spring, I'm finding it popping up Everywhere! My begonias kept going all winter, until we got the one night in the 30's just a couple of weeks ago. Now I have interesting seed pods on some of them and new growth coming on others.
