The rain in Spain may lie mainly in the plain, but the Taro in Rio De Janeiro belongs mainly to the pharaoh: :wink:

You shouldn't tempt me with all those beautiful taros. At least it's to late in the season to plant anymore taros.

Mine seem to be planting themselves. They're coming up all over the pond. I'm wanting to pluck 'em out and pot 'em up. They make beautiful container plants up on the deck.

Here's another pretty picture:

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
