Beautiful cactus flower!  I looks like it should be floating in a pond.

Very nice Jerry! 

Would you by any chance have any pictures of the eucalyptus?  I bought a small potted one at Wally World a while back, thought it would be a small bush, but after doing some reading found out it might be huge, now I don't know where to plant it!

Sorry Jerry,

Just got internet back hour or so ago and looked at the tag, says Cinerea.  Does that help?

Thanks,

Tonya

I think it's common name is silver dollar eucalyptus.  Nice in flower arrangements, but messy if I recall right.
It wants a hot dry climate too.  My guess is it's not a good choice.  I can take a pic of one tomorrow.

Hope this helps.
I don't think it's a good choce at all.  This in my neighbors.

It is an extremely messy tree.

Thanks Jerry!

I guess I will just leave it in a pot and see what it does there.  If it dies I guess it's no big deal since I got it on clearance for little of nothing. 

I bought it cuz it looked interesting, and thought it would be a small bush, boy guess I was wrong!

Thanks again.

The smell is very nice and if you are into flower arrangements it is super!
I hate to be a wet blanket.
Idea:
Try a BIG pot and bring it in in the winter?

Not a wet blanket Jerry!  I really appreciate your help!  The big pot idea is great, except for the fact that I would need to buy a bigger house to make room for it!  I already have too many plants that need to come in for the winter, and just not enough room or good light!  I'll figure something out, thanks for everything!
