FW, I'd love to share! But AFTER *I* see some flowers if you know what I mean. Nine pretty plants covered in buds that fell off a few days after coming home. Now condensed to 3 hanging pots and 1 in a tree-base washtub planter. That one's really pink too. It got a little frost bite but has recovered well. Asleep, IDK. They'll be outside until frost looms, then I can't control the lights inside. That's what I have to offer, we'll see what happens in the spots I have available. PG, the ones that are so pink/purple were right in the east windows for winter so were much more used to the direct sun. Paired with other plants that didn't get direct sun, you can really see the diff. although they've all been outside for 2 mos now. I keep looking for sunburn but haven't seen any yet. I put a pot of cuttings where it gets sun all day, literally, and it doesn't seem to be burning, has cute tiny new leaves, raspberry pink. Some get only morning sun, that really pink one's sticking out in the sun most of the day, the wind blows it in/out of the shadow of the porch roof. Early in the season yet, I'm watching... You know I'm not afraid to burn a plant to find the "too much" point. The cuttings (with a piece of Haworthia, top center): Another plant:

Thank you for all the comments. Ellie, That would be funny, wouldn't it? But I believe we'll be finished well before frost. Debra. Thank you, but I'm just using the automatic setting on the camera. It's a Cannon EOS 20D with a telephoto lens DH bought me for one of my Christmas gifts. njmomma. I am chronically behind with what I had intended to do, but I use Preen and mulch and that helps otherwise it is continual weeding. Thanks Jason, there is a lot of re-bloom this year. Julia that is Wall of Fire, Karol Emmerich's intro: Rita, Lots of brown and done scapes, but a lot of re-bloom this year. I have things re-blooming that are brand new, things that usually rebloom, and things that have never rebloomed before. Maybe all the piddling with them is paying off. Avedon, it was totally unexpected. Yesterday, I was whining about bloom being so diminished and today there was a lot of bloom. go figure. kay

We have quite a lot of spring blooming trees coming out of heat dormancy and blooming here in Oklahoma. You see trees looking half dead with maybe one or two branches green and blooming. I think there will be a lot of major trimming and removal of dead trees next year. Another weird thing is the warm season grasses. Most bloomed very early. My Panicum grasses started blooming in late June. Bluestem in mid July. Its usually not until late August or September on these. We got a bit of rain in September and with the cooler weather, I have never seen the thick flowering I am now getting on my natives. Its like they saved up energy and its all being put toward flowers all at once now. I have Thelesperma plants that are solid yellow mounds now. They bloomed all summer but now they are in hyper-bloom mode.

Years ago I ordered two seasons of Will and Grace for DIL, two seasons of Seinfeld for daughter, America's Funniest Home videos for son and Soap for DH and I, for Christmas presents. When my package came it contained 1 CD of someone I'd never heard of, and nothing else. I contacted Amazon and they quickly found their mistake and gave me a credit on my purchase, (which was quite a bit with that many DVDs!!) Two days later I received my order along with a packing slip of the items. At the bottom of the list the total charged to my account was $00.00.
