Introduction

Hi!  I just joined the list, so an introduction is probably in order. 
My name's Jim Gray.  I'm both an indoor and outdoor gardener, with,
unfortunately, a fairly small yard to work with. So I tend to devote as
much time to my pet plants as to my yard plants.

I'm a general-interest houseplant person, not a collector.  I have a
little bit of everything, although the succulents and cacti have been
predominating lately.  Whether that's because I prefer them over the
others or whether it's because Lowe's got a HUGE cactus/succulent
shipment in (most in flower!), I can't tell yet.  Although my mother is
just a little afraid of the currently flowering gasteria.  She says it
looks like the villain in an alien movie. :) 

I tend to straddle the garden/house line a bit.  I have a purple wave
petunia in a hanging basket on the porch and I house-raised sprekelias
this spring (gorgeous flowers, but not very long-lasting).

Well, that's the intro.  I look forward to contributing to this list in
time to come.  Thanks!

the plant; I just like to say it! :)
