This winter, it was inside the houseplant area with a big price tag on it and now it's moved back outside. I think that with the gravel and reflected light from the structures around it's probably the brightest/warmest place they have for it. Just a guess. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-11797043815603549122013-05-21T15:33:16.753-07:002013-05-21T15:33:16.753-07:00I love the cones on Blue Magoo - weird name.
