No no no, I will be posting more pictures, $2 a plant. I'm just having these splitting headaches. I already have a dozen of these and many are flowering.

They are so beautiful, one has been in bloom for 8 months.

When I moved here, the squirrels walked all over them and knocked leaves off, not only did every leaf start a new plant where it fell, but everywhere they knocked off a leaf, a new plant grew, that I now need to remove and pot.

The colors, the shapes, the flowers. OMG! And you can't kill them, don't water them, no problem.
