I wanted to share this family photo of Elizabeth Davis with the community. Location: 612 Cass St., La Crosse, Wisconsin. Date: 27 Aug 1941. Does anyone remember her or that particular address? Elizabeth was standing near her front porch and loved the Sanseroia Plants, otherwise known as: "mother-in-law toenails" plants or at least that's what I was told by my Grandma Weaver.

Wow! All that plant in such small pots! I know she was proud of them. “Mother-in-law toenails.” That’s got to be one of the best names for such a plant! I hope whoever came up with that wasn’t standing within earshot of his (or her) mother-in-law!
