When I planted the bonus from Richard Norris, I didn't think I would like t. But it is prettier than I thouight it would be. I just realised that more of these pictured are bonus plants. MARIETTA SURPRISE was a bonus plant years ago from a place no longer in business. It never bloomed so I was going to toss it after the bloom season if it didn't show it's face. So surprise, it bloomed and its pretty. Plus it blooms late. Its staying. GUY GOODFELLOW is another bonus that did not bloom last year. I think its lind of pretty. Also staying.

Hi Homebound, you need to get help at the forum I listed below, Here is a description of what you have to start with, it's hard to say what exactly what else was or may have been installed. System Fix is a fake computer analysis and optimization program from the FakeHDD family of rogues. This rogue displays false alerts that are designed to make you think that your computer has hard disk problems that have lead to corrupt and missing data. It displays these alerts in order to scare you into purchasing the program so that you can fix these issues. In reality, though, there is nothing wrong with your hardware or data, so these error messages should be ignored. System Fix is installed through hacked sites that exploit vulnerabilities in software that may be installed on your computer or through fake online scanner pages. Once installed, System Fix will display false error messages and security warnings on the infected computer. These messages will state that there is something wrong with your computer's hard drive and then suggests that you download and install a program that can fix the problem. When you click on of these alerts, System Fix will automatically be started. System Fix will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. Once started, it will display numerous error messages when you attempt to launch programs or delete files. System Fix will then prompt you to scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors that it states it cannot fix until you purchase the program. It will then prompt you to repair your PC, where it will pretend to fix fake problems on your computer and state that it was unable to repair some of them in order to make you feel there is a problem with your computer. If you are infected with System Fix it is important that you do not delete any files from your Temp folder or use any temp file cleaners. This is because when this infection is installed it will delete shortcuts found in various locations and store backups of them in the %Temp%\smtmp folder. It does this so that you when try to launch a program from your start menu, none of your shortcuts will appear and thus making you think that your computer has a serious problem. Therefore, you do not want to delete any of the files in your Temp folder as it will remove the backups that we will use later in the guide to restore your Windows Start Menu. For a list of folders that shortcuts are deleted and the corresponding directories where they are stored, please see this topic: To make matters worse, recent variants of this family have been know to install the TDSS or ZeroAccess rootkits as well. These rootkits will attempt to stop you from using security programs that may help you to remove this infection. If you are infected with System Fix and are unable to update your Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware definitions then you most likely have this rootkit installed. Get help here at the link provided.

I dig the photo even if it is just a wee babe. =) Oh ooh, If you guys like 'Rothenhausii' then check out it's funky mutation, Picea abies 'Silver Star' AKA 'Inversa Viridis Dablice'. It's a short needled, cream colored sport that was found on 'Rothenhausii'. Same narrow habit with the added funky color. Not sure if it would be categorized as ugly or pretty, but regardless, I thought it was fantastic. I was lucky to get a tiny one from Coniferkingdom this year and it's handled full, hot, summer sun with no problems. Not sure if they have any left but it would be worth a call to see if they do. Photos are from Irena's post on Facebook, Planet Conifer group.

I really identify with this story. During the pandemic my husband was working in another state and I was home alone in a house with 9ft ceilings and a dozen smoke alarms. I start being woken up in the night by chirping. I'm wandering around the house stopping at each alarm, trying to figure out which one is beeping. I then discover my small ladder isn't tall enough for me to reach the ceilings. So I go buy another slightly taller one so I can reach the ceilings without trying to haul in our heavy very tall ladder on my own. I replace all of the batteries. And still, middle of the night "chirp, chirp". I finally narrow the sound down to somewhere in the basement but I cannot for the life of me figure out where the d*** smoke alarm is! I've replaced the batteries for every single smoke alarm I can find in the basement and still, middle of the night, "chirp, chirp". FINALLY I realize that there is a carbon monoxide detector plugged into the base of wall in the furnace room, hidden behind a stack of new furnace filters. I think it took me weeks to find it. When the house would get cold at night the battery would get too low and cause it to chirp, but it wouldn't do it in the daytime when I could more easily search for it. I've heard stories of people going in their elderly relatives' homes and finding smoke alarms chirping away and the homeowners either oblivious or so used to the sound they didn't even notice it anymore.
