Good morning and hello to all GWlers who have time to stop by

The ones that can't, we miss you!
{{gwi:527398}}From POTD forAugust '09

Bells of Ireland

It is a real pretty plant and I will grow it again. Maybe try it in a container to give it more room.

Grew them from seeds and even though I lost most of them, Have not figured out HOW and WHERE to make them real happy....but of course I DID collect all the seeds I could find.

Have a great Saturday and wonderful WE!

Always thinking about Mary who gets caught working WE's a lot.

Good morning Lucy. No hangover here! But sure have a headache! Was planning on a quit night at home. Setting outside by the fire with DH. Ending up spending the night in the ER with HB having chest pain. Said they thought it was form stress but wanted him to stay. But the hard head checked himself out! He is going to follow up with his heart Dr. Anyway, hope your new years eve was better. Keep me and him in your prayers. I sure hope the worst is over and we have a better year ahead. Mom should be coming home this week. Thanks for the prayers. She is doing so much better. Up walking around, eating and all. Still needs a little walk on the stairs. But getting there. She is sure ready to come home. ANYWAY! Happy New Year to all. Please kept My family and me in your prayers for a good year to come. Love and hugs Dorothy

YES the vacation was great but like it was said...very busy and always on the go. Actually set the alarm clock for 4:30 am most days just so I could do the PRIVATE things rofl. Kristy thanks so much. I am SURE that you need every free minute for your garden right now yourself. Besides....DH really did the best he could and before I saw the few dead plants. My first thought was...oh my gosh, I got a jungle growing back here. lol I am back to normal watering now. In the morning. Since it is to hot to do any garden work anyways. Bob SO GLAD that my timing came just at the right moment for you. (((hugs)) Mailman brought the box with the plants I bought and they got all potted up tonight. Amazing how great they looked, even thou the box was COOKING lol Now let me go and see if I can catch up on some postings before I am still trying to catch up on resting rofl. CU all in the morning. nighty night. Lucy

yupp I was shooting in the direction of his car lol After I went out this morning I indeed saw that this year some of the blooms do not even have ANY LAVENDER in them. This is a ever changing Dat lol I think it has not made up its mind yet what it wants to be when it grows up roflmao Pam actually I THOUGHT we had enough rain last night...just got in from re potting some seedlings and potting up the Brug cuttings that i had in water a few days and finally got time to put em in dirt lol But I did get a few very nice pictures this morning. Not with raindrops but it looks like the dew is covering the whole flower. Very pretty. Tim you should try them. I love them very much. I do however love the HUGE single white Datura. When you walk out at night and in the morning and they are everywhere...they just GLOW Lucy

Pam actually the one I have growing behind the house that gets not that much afternoon sun at all and lots of water..grew into a fairly nice sized plant!

Elizabeth the WE turned out to be great already when I went and finally bought a new stove today. Been cooking with only the 2 small burners. Big ones were broken. I guess now I have less time to spend here because I got to start cooking again rofl.

Haase that is how it all started for me too ha ha ha

Kylie I love the crinium Lily. Everything is growing so nicely!! Even the Santa Rosa that I though hubby did not take care of well enough and it did not root...is really putting out new growth now with all the rain. WOW I love the rain. But not all the fire ant hills popping up everywhere!!

Glad the seeds grew for you Lucy. I will try them next year. My aunt just told me she has a wine colored flowering crinum I can dig a pup from when I go. I better go to the doctor next week and get some meds before my trip. I think I'm gonna be doing a lot of digging while I'm at her house, lol. She has something called a japanese climbing fern too but I read its invasive so I don't know if I will take any of that one or not. I wish my crinums would bloom boohooo, lol. So happy to have the rain. Gonna get hot again next week so we needed every drop.
