Nice, Jim.
Glad they weren't affected by the dip in temps.

Love the E. viridiflorus! Do you have the one with the 'citrus' smell to them?

Never noticed much fragrance Paul but I have to admit that (given the difficulty getting the nose down there)
I don't bend down there very often to take a wiff!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yea for sure!

I did a few push ups over the E.viridiflorus and you were right!
It has the most amazing lemony sweet smell-very cool and once I
was aware of it,I could smell it from a distance.
