All my plants but the Mona Lavender a place in the house. The basket the Lipstick is in, I got four of those for $3.00 each(reg $5). The pots that the ivy and Fittonia is in, I got those pots for $2. each(reg $5.). It was all in the clearence asle at WalMart. Its that time of the season that most garden stuff is on sale. We have no garden center at Walmart anymore....its been turned into Halloween area. Now I just need to find a pretty pot for my lavender.
