Good morning everyone.

Had myself a glass of wine last night and slept like a baby :-)

Of course since I can not send out the heat so some of you have warmer days, I better get moving and start watering.

{{gwi:498412}}From Picture of the Day for June 09

I have been watching this one in amazement. It is taller then me. Over 5'7". Huge leaves. And then the TINY bud came out. Let me tell you, it reminded me of a saying. roflmao

But then it has a fascinating bloom. They are so small compared to the others.

NEWSFLASH ...Amadeus ate some food this morning all by himself.

Have a wonderful day

Siam I sure will :-) Cross my fingers that I get lots of seeds. Thank you for giving that one a name. I google it later.

I just came back because I called hubby to tell him Amadeus ate by himself. Just to find out that when he fed Aisha, he also went there and ate a few bites.

I am so happy I could cry.

Till later

Lucy

OT: POTD: Texas star Hibiscus, 1st time I see it bloom in person

hey all, I am just glad I am not the guy that drank the guys drink roflmao I don't know why I only ended up with ONE star hibiscus. I planted so many seeds at the winter sowing. So many had shared the seeds with me and I hope I can pass it on to others. Yupp I just got done watering too a few minutes ago. But while I water, I also do a touch, talk and cleaning up of most plants lol. Brenda good thought...not long and it will be Halloween again. I don't know if I got the bloom wet in the morning when I first sprayed the leaves down. But a few pedals were a little deformed. I still loved it because it was my FIRST :-) Lucy
