    Chocolate, I tried to put patches on your post but I think I put them on you in general. They are appropriate for about anything you post, but inspired to send by this one in particular!

    "broken clay pots'...what about trying one of these,great recycling idea.

    Use for broken pot ( photo / image / picture from chocolate's Garden )



    Put the broken part inside the larger part, I know that the pots don't always break into convenient pieces but maybe use other pieces from other pots, I would like to see some other ideas, does anyone have any?

    Same plant different location, it seems that the flower is not complete yet,I am not sure what happens after the flower, I think the plant will die and there will be a new pup around the side somewhere, that's what the others do.

    I agree with you. Allot of times I stop things from blooming and they will live longer. So I feel like the 'Adam's Family TV show where Morticia would cut the rose off the stem'..... but that does work in keeping the life cycle at bay. :D :D
