RE: Yahoo! Briefcase: tchessie's file(s)

Hi Donna-
The mystery plant came home with my husband as a gift last year, it was
fading inside after blooming to I just plopped it out in the front garden
last december, it died back, but then came back better than ever.  The bud
on it is 3 times the size of the original flower, so I guess it likes it's
new home.  I'll take more pics as it gets further in the bloom process.

P.S.  Baby mantises are sort of brown and tiny.  I understand the one
usually doesn't see them hatch and that the sack the emerge from looks the
same even after they hatch.

Nice pictures Theresa-- but you are making me jealous! Although a few
things have sprouted here, more wood chips showing than much else
currently here. Sorry do not know your mystery plant. Is it from a bulb?

On another note, I found another mantis (duh, what do you call it) nest.
Neither have hatched yet, but got one in the front yard and now one in
the back yard. Gees, you really would have thought I would have noticed
them around last year.. :( I have been watching them daily, would like
to see what a baby mantis looks like.
