I wish I knew if there were any gardening clubs or anything. I’m in Colorado Springs visiting my daughter and grandsons. should be home about June 6. She has no internet access so can only post when we go to library. I’ll get back to you once I get home. You might ask at Grimsells about garden clubs and the like.

WOW! Fantastic. I bought a “rutaya” (now I know the correct name), from Grimsell’s also. I moved to Harlingen from Kansas less than a year ago (in time for my first hurricane), and am learning how different gardening is in a hot, dry, windy, area. I would appreciate any suggestions for flowering, drought resistant plants that can take full sun and attract hummingbirds and butterflies (we have red and orange huneysuckles, and milkweed already (from Grimsell’s) . Any organizations, clubs of like-minded gardening/birding people here? Thanks for any help.

Oh, very cool! At least if I know it’s proper name I can figure out how to care for it. Thanks very much!

It might die here. Esp. at my hands, so maybe its best if you don’t bring it here. You commented that it likes a lot of moisture, and even tho Colorado Springs is the Rockies, where I live is the rain shadow and semi-arid to arid. So not a lot of moisture…and with my unintential tendency to forget to water plants (more like I’m so busy I don’t have time to remember to wwater the poor things), it might be best to not set that pretty plant up for unintentional neglect.

Love Jen
