Want to see something neat?
Comments (18)That is the classic image of what Serratipetala SHOULD look like. That's a gorgeous shot! I hope you post it to Help Me Find, please? If I could have experienced that flower here, it would have hung around. Another seedling opened I want to use with the ruffles. It resulted from Art Nouveau X Blue for You, though you wouldn't think that to see it. Really not bad for opening on a nearly hundred degree day.

Comments (14)I think, amongst all cultivated bromeliads, Heachtia is the least known genus. There are at least 10-20 kind of them, but quite hard to ID correctly ! as most of them look alike. So, HDD, I'm not sure which species I have, except H. rocea, H.glauca, H. manier-lapostollei, H.glomerata which have distinguishable characteristic, but could say that there are about 15-20 different kind : 12 specimen plants including 8 seedlings with different No. of localities data that I've kept in my collection. I understand, Philofan, as I sometimes do collect plant : caudiciforms, succulents in their habitat by myself like Guy, so if I was a business man I would sell that high :) Yep...Bob, I thing 2nd Tropiflora's H. argentea might be another kind, may be miss-tag, as Charlot told me that he also got his H. argentea from Tropiflora years ago too!...See MoreI found something neat
Comments (6)My DH got some at a GW a couple of years ago for me. My dear grandson whom I was babysitting everyday was 2 years old at the time and feeding the birds was an everyday thing. He absolutely LOVED the blackcapped chickadees. In one of those books there were pictures and detailed instructions on crossstiching a set of 4 birds. A cardinal, blackcapped chickadee, bluebird, and goldfinch. I had never crossstiched in my life, but my DSIL showed me how to get started and I crossstiched him the chickadee. I started on the cardinal and got bored . Maybe I will take it to the hospital when DH goes back for the operation and try to finish it. This past year we hit the mother lode and came home from the GW with 2 huge stacks of those types of books (most of mine are Christmas related I think). Probably about 20 or so of them. I enjoy all of the recipes in them also. You can sit down and spend a couple of hours easily just looking through them. The price was sure right!

Comments (18)Glad your whale watch actually found some whales! Our winter breaks on Maui coincide with Whale Season in Hawaii -- best viewed from Maui and Big Island of Hawaii. Whales migrate from Alaska to warmer waters to calve -- and to mate. There are astounding breaches by bulls competing to impress the cows. Using binoculars, I can see a lot of 'showboating' from our condo's lanai. Last Christmas we took our son and his family on a morning whale watch out of Maalaea harbor. We were fortunate to have a calm day, with a sea like glass. The bay is a favorite 'nursery' for whales, and we were only out five minutes before seeing a cow, her newborn calf, and an accompanying 'auntie'. (Auntie cows aid with the babies and help keep too-eager bulls at bay.) Later, we were still in the water watching a pod of dolphins when a young bull came alongside the boat and then went under us to the other side. We could almost scratch his back! I don't expect to experience that again. (By law, boats must keep a good distance from whales, but a pilot can only cut engines and wait when a whale decides to approach.)...See Morebinlin
