well thank you my friends. I see it differently about sharing my pictures. To me it is the same thing when you do something out of love for somebody...and do not want anything for it in return...and you get *paid*. It takes that feeling of having done something from your heart...away. Same with the pictures. I find them JUST FOR YOU ALL. I change that...they loose their special feeling about them. Do you know what I mean? So...as long as there are POTD>.....they are truly just for you all Lucy

thanks Daniella. Just googled a bit. Dave's Garden says it could be invasive and someone said that it grew so much that it literally joked the other plants do death. Come to think of it, it should be the vine that Kristy had growing last year and it took over the brugs and everything around it lol I just leave it there. It might just be a annual cause it said nothing about it being hardy or a perennial. Lucy

Daniella I forgot to add that I DID find a bloom this morning on Candida double white...but it was a single. there might have been a skirt on the outside but all I saw was some burned brown stuff and DEEP in the throat...now don't anybody make any funny comments on that one roflmao...there could have been something else growing. However I did take lots of pictures of all the buds on different angels...so I am crossing my fingers and toes in hopes that I too can post angel pictures pretty soon. Lucy

My condolences my dear friend. I guess my feeling to add that hug at the last minute was good. You and your family will be in my prayers. May God give you the strength to deal with the sudden loss as best as you possibly can. Karyn you are right....it is best not to know lol But 5 bucks round about for a nice sized hibiscus for me is a steal lol April it is long looooooooooooong ago since I went through the first day of school with the 1st born...but it is always harder on the moms to *let them go*. No matter how old they get and where life takes them, it never changes but if you love your child...you let them do their thing. That is IMHO. Barb the cuttings are on the window sill for now. Took as many as I could from the bigger bushes...the new ones...I will give them another season before starting to take things away from them. My neighbor came to the fence yesterday and told me that it looks awesome. Well and I am glad she gets to enjoy the flowers more close up now also :-) HOT....I need to get my stinky self in the shower lol Lucy
