I always think of my Grandma (my dad's mom) when I see shrimp plants because she had so many of them in her Florida garden. <br /><br />I've seen the *blue* orchids. Looked up some information on them and they aren't sure they will re-bloom blue. It's interesting. Don't think I'll tempt myself at the Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-60296884269411880132011-06-18T06:41:58.412-04:002011-06-18T06:41:58.412-04:00What a beautiful tribute.

Because of that I always have a shrimp plant in my garden.<br /><br />Speaking of orchids....yesterday at HD I saw blue orhids. Since blue is my favorite color...it was tempting, but I didn't get one....next weekend is Tropiflora's plant sale and I need my mad money for that.<br /><SiestaSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810517627451623408noreply@blogger.com
