My Favorite Plants

Bring a plant or plants that got you started in the hobby (obsession?) or that you particularly like now. It doesn't have to be show quality, just what you love and enjoy. We want this to be an expanded Show & Tell where we all can share our plants and experiences - successes and failures, cultural hints, etc. This is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge and even discover a new "favorite' plant.
