I have to agree that Kathleen's are cool! I wanted to share a story about how sometimes actions have unintended positive consequences. I bought two pretty purple flowering plants this past spring to put in pots next to my front door. I don't remember what kind of plants they are, but they called for partial sun/shade. Since the front of my house only gets morning sun and there's a huge oak tree on the front lawn, I thought they would be perfect. (Besides, purple is my favorite color!) Well, anyway, they were doing fine until it got really hot a few weeks ago. They were in pretty bad shape, and I figured they were going to die. Well, I didn't want to keep watering them, but I didn't want to let them die either. I usually use the rinse water from when I do dishes to water all of my potted plants. Well, anyway, I forgot to water the ones out front. I took the soapy water that I hadn't drained yet and watered both plants with that. The next day both plants had really perked up. The day after that they both started blooming again! Now, I will make sure to water them with the soapy water. Go figure!
