I haven't had this guy for very long but I'm a fan. It's grown pretty well this summer and adjusted to it's spot outdoors in full sun without burning at all. I don't have a lot of patience for adjusting plants to different environments. I know this is bad, but I'd really rather have a few unsightly sunburn spots on something then spending weeks slowly moving it. I have no time or patience for more than a few adjustments, if I remember to do them before I just give up and put it somewhere.
It was raining today, but If I didn't get out there and take pictures today, it may not have happened at all this week.

Also, I know some of you requested pictures from "Spider Town," I haven't forgotten, it is proving to difficult to get any decent shots of anything down there. The spiders all scramble into their hiding spots the second any light shines in their direction. Plus, I can't be down there for very long before I get the heebie-jeebies and I'm covered in spiderwebs and about to make a run for it. So I've been trying to get some shots of at least the above ground spiders and insects here, I'll add them in if I get anything good. Today was this guy:

| Hi there! : ) |
If you enlarge the picture, he/she totally has a smiley face on his/her abdomen. I'm not sure what kind of spider it is, but I'll come back and update the page if I am able to ID it.
