Nice. i wonder if they are the same as posted in my Miscelaneous Stuff thread.

That's really nice, Cat. Looks like it came up nice and strong. Be mindful that the hot sun will bleach the pouch white...essentially, burning it. The blooms last much longer if they are in a spot where the sunlight is broken up a bit, like under a losely leafed tree.

I took the picture in the morning. Where it is, it only gets the very early sun and then shade the rest of the day. Do you think that is alright John? I did not think the early morning sun would do any harm since it doesn't start to burn and get hot till later the the morning / afternoon. Let me know.

Yes, that sounds fine, Cat. The morning sun is no problem.
