Oh bummer!!! Sure could use some hot tea right now. I'm just about freezing to death!
Lucy, I love the cute picture, and also the beautiful flower.
Greetings to all. I'll be heading home to Calif. next week.
I wonder whether or not my Angel survived on my neighbor's patio????

Beautiful Amaryllis, mine got too tall this year also. Brrrrrrrrrr is right! Here in San Antonio we are expecting the coldest weather in 40 years. We might not get above freezing on Friday! Many of the plants I brought in a few weeks ago are sprouting new leaves. The first hard freeze snuck up on us and I accidentally left the Duranta out and thought it was dead, but now it's sprouting new leaves. Even one small Brug cutting that got left out is now sprouting from the bottom even though the top is shriveled. We'll be moving the Christmas lights over to the plants that are too big to bring in.

Lucy, I hope your fur baby gets better quickly! With four kitties of my own, I can certainly relate to how it feels to have a sick baby. One of ours is currently in renal failure, and we have to do fluid injections three times a week. We're very fortunate that one of the vet tech's has volunteered to stop by after work a couple times a week to assist with the IV fluids. I'm reminded of a quote by Will Rogers... "The best doctor in the world is the veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter-he's got to just know." Don't beat yourself up for not knowing the severity of your kitty's problems. My dog had a 6 lb tumor on her spleen, and we have no idea how long it was there, we chalked her lack of appetite and other symptoms to her getting older. It wasn't until the tumor started to poke down under her rib cage that we noticed the lump. Fortunately it was benign and she's happy and healthy today. I will keep you and Amadeus in my prayers.

Pam thank you for the ID on the bird. You know so much about all these beautiful creatures I see and love!! Enjoy the talk with your neighbors! It all happens for a reason. I had to lovely walkers stop by today while watering the front. Started talking and then I did some enabling lol. In the end they did me a favor from watering to early. That way I was done around noon and did not have to water again lol Susan I hope you are doing ok health wise!!!? Glad to be back because this is keeping me feeling all peaceful and at ease on the inside. Here when you go outside during the day it feels like you opened the oven door and stepped right in it. The plants look so sad when it is so hot but amazingly...after watering in the morning....the beauty is just wonderful to look at. Dorothy I did not forget about the seeds. You just made me LOL with the bumping up ha ha ha I answered in another post of yours when I saw the pretty periwinkles. Let them grow some more and they will produce SO many seeds...that you could supply your whole state with it lol To the Oxalis...I have them in the ground all year long and year after year they come back. Mulitply real fast and the more shade they have...the darker they stay and bigger they grow. Hope I made you happy now :-))) Hugs Lucy

OT: POTD: Texas star Hibiscus, 1st time I see it bloom in person
Q
Comments (16)
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

Good morning all. Funny Lucy! Your hibiscus is beautiful; is it a hibiscus? I don't see the usual type of leaves of the hibiscus.

Kasha what a sweet *reward* for posting the POTD for everyone and hoping that it will do some good to at least ONE of you each day.

I had the pleasure of finally meeting Princealbert and his sweet wife Betty today. What a treat it was!
One day I really want to meet so many of you, that if ever there will be a nationwide get together...I will be there. Until then...I have to start with smaller get togethers like swaps lol

Caren I am glad you like them too lol Who needs tea right? lol

Pat so glad you had time for tea. I was so hung up in downloading scrapbook things from a PSP group, that when princealbert called...I had to tell him that I am still not dressed roflmao

Yes it is one of the new hibiscus' I bought in spring from a co op. they finally started growing a while ago and have shown their beauty to me a few times. Wait until you see that black dragon photo!!

Eloise most of these hibiscus' have very thick roundish leaves. Not really lots of them on most lol.

Ingrid what a joy it was to hear from you again. Sorry that it is so cold there. But just remember what beautiful temps you are coming back home to :-) I would not worry about your angel. It always works out. Even when at first you get a shock...like I did twice after coming back from Florida...but everything is fixable!! One way or another.

Tim do I smell a possible trade I can share with you after all? You know I am desperately looking for something to give back to you for all the wonderful plants you shared and sharing with me.
