The Courier Journal reprints an old column, seemingly every year now, that gives houseplant advice. Like this:

Succulents. Most are pretty easy to keep going. There are lots of succulent desert-type holiday mixed gardens out there.

The main succulents this year are the new Calandiva series of Kalanchoe with more spectacular, roselike flowers that hold for almost two months.

The column was originally printed in 2005, so do you think the "new" calandivas are still the hot new plant? Come by the nursery some day and find out for yourself. (Hint: the older style, less-rose-like Kalanchoe blossfeldiana are all the rage this year.) Anyway, shouldn't an editor have checked the column for dated info before they reprinted it as current? I'm just saying.
