"We must have a foreign policy that is both strong and smart. Yes, the Republicans have been strong, but they haven't been smart. And the policy is one big mess, everyone knows it."

Paph sanderianum

This is not my plant, I don't have the light or the room to grow it, but what a GREAT plant. It takes years to get to the size where it can flower, but look at those flowers.

Anyway, there's not much more I can add, that picture speaks for itself. Some day I want the home and the lighting to grow something like that. Some day.

Enjoy. JOHN
