I hear you, SusieQ: just about anything will grow here in Florida. Sometimes I secretly wish some of my trees would die so I didn't have so many to care for. I too plan to cut way back on my collection, perhaps selling some or giving away. But then, a trip to a bonsai nursery, convention or even a club meeting and i am coming home with a new beauty. Maybe i should leave my credit cards at home?

My malpighias are so covered with beautiful tiny orchid like blooms that they out number the leaves. How could i part with that? thank god for automatic watering systems!!! Unfortunately I have to work full time and have a (semi) life to contend with too. Things are growing so fast right now, I rationalize it in my mind that I am letting them bush out to fatten up the branches.
