Randy- My Andromeda heliconia arrived and I got 4 plants. Put them in one pot for now; hopefully they'll fill out like yours and I can do some dividing. I guess I have a few years yet, though.

Looks good, Salty!!! If it does half as well as mine has, that pot will be busting by the end of next summer!!! I need to divide mine back, but I guess I will do it next spring... Keep me posted to their progress...

Our Lowes had some! I saw them yesterday. They were pathetic little things with spent blooms for 16 bucks. I believe they were andromeda like yours but far less attractive.

I saw two different psittacorum varieties at our local Lowe's last week. The smallest were in 1 gallon pots and were only between $6-$7. There was another variety in about 3 gal. pots going for about $17 something, from what I remember. They were listed as different cultivars but both had orangish blooms, but you could tell some difference.
