Well that is a very cool looking plant!! I have something similar , don't know what the name is , The leaves stay green all winter. It has never bloomed, I don't know if it is planted too deep or what , I'll take a pic of it when I get home, I don't think it is a mouse plant but like I said something similar ...

Sheri I got the greenhouse from Tractor Supply. $40. If you look in your bushes,or pine tree's on small branches close to the ground, any ornamental grass or weed rods you might find a egg. If you have seen adults in your yard you probably gotta egg some where by |
