So Cleveland supplies the "straight to DVD" $5 bin at Walmart? Im dying to see Judas and the Black Messiah or Cleveland Abduction though!
 
Those are beautiful! I really need to get some didn't you say they do will in lower light/flow area?
That is where they thrive my friend. I have them from 50 to 100 par. The more shaded ones look the best.
 
Beauties! Top Shelf Aquatics as well as Tidal Gardens has a large variety of them. Check out this one from Tidal Gardens!

Is the leg lamp buried in the back yard?
 
I'm at my father in laws sitting on his porch and his azela bush has lots of butterflies on it!
That looks so peaceful and relaxing.

It really is plus from here I can see my horses if they are in the pasture. Right now I can only see Leo. We are getting ready to move them to our second pasture as soon as my son and husband get done helping my father in law with his 4 wheeler.

We do miss having horses but then boarding them is just too expensive and unless it is grandfathered in, most newer builds (in our price range) in Arizona don't allow horses unless you go very rural.

Having horses on property really improved my health. Computer work isn't the healthiest as you spend most of your time sitting. My Triglycerides were so high for years that my insurance company refused to renew my policy but about six months prior we had rented a small horse property and had our horses at home. Taking care of them got me out and doing and I felt great so I talked to the insurance company and convinced them to retest me. My triglycerides weren't just better they were great. Every morning at around 5 my horse would let out a loud whinney to let me know it was breakfast time. Sometimes when he was in the yard he would like to knock the screen out of the kitchen window and stick his head in to see what we were doing.
