Hello Everyone!

 Recently my wife Donna and I moved to Tucson Arizona from near Battle Creek Michigan. I have to say I sure do love it out here!

Way back in the early 80's I was stationed out in the Mojave desert, and by comparison, this Sonoran desert is like the Garden of Eden! I can not get my head around just how moist it is out here. Rain Rain Rain!!! I do realize that it is the "monsoon" season out here, but MAN! I suppose that I ought to introduce myself before I get "rambly" on ya!

 My name is Dave, and my wife Donna is donnanellah. We've been married since March of '98, but together from way, WAY before that. I found this site while searching the Microsoft site for fun sidebar gadgets, and stumbled upon the one featured at this site. I showed the site to my "POOKY" and she signed up straight away, while I delayed for about 24 hours before taking the plunge. The main thing that caught our attention was the "What kinda flower is THIS?" photo section here, to which Donna has already sent a couple of pictures.

We bought these plants at the Tanque Verde Swap Meet on Palos Verde Rd here in Tucson, and have been UTTERLY unable to find any reference to these li'l buggers at ALL, even in the landscaping giudes that are issued locally here by the water department. I hope that when the Forum Moderator finally allows them to go up, that SOMEONE will be able to figure out just what these things are. They sure are pretty!!!

Enough from me for now, cuz i gotta spend some time cruising thru all the neat stuff this garden site has to offer!!
