Hi George, Best of luck with your surgery, it is *fantastic* what they can do these days with minimal invasion. Our new garden in Norfolk is coming along *slowly*, but we are making minor progress every week, and taking lots of pictures. Sometimes the pics are the only thing keeping me going. I can see some improvement (at least in the pics!) and know that we are getting somewhere eventually. Been working lots of 10 and 12 hour days since May. Getting rich (ha! ;-)), hoping to have some time this fall to spend it on cobble stones for the new patio and plants for the new pond. I've had a cereus in a pot for several years now. Any suggestions on getting some blooms on it? It's outdoors for 6 months a year in part to deep shade. Happy, healthy, but no blooms. Good Gardening, Matt in Norfolk, Va. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com
