Frost pictures

17 years ago

I'm a very outdoors kinda person. So, after a couple days of being inside because even the highs here are sub zero I start climbing the walls. I've been playing with my camera taking pictures of the frost on the windows.

Jackie, I think that the central area (central boss is what I have heard it called) on the picture on Chalk Hill's website is more opened up than mine. I think the white you see on mine is the immature green of the central anthers (see Toomey and Leeds description below). The main difference I see in my sepals and those of Chalk Hills is that theirs look longer and thinner than mine. Below is linked the COTW picture of Allanah. They describe the flower as having a slightly darker bar as mine does but they say the anthers can either be greenish or dark red-brown. Also, notice how the flower color differs in the different pictures based probably on light exposure? If you look at the picture of Allanah in the Toomey and Leeds book, mine looks identical to it in form and in the coloration in the central portion of the flower. Toomey and Leeds description is as follows: The single, bright ruby-rd flowers, shaded or flushed with carmine, measure 15-20 cm (6-8 in.)across and are made up of six to eight widely spaced sepals, which are about 6.5 cm (2.5 in.)long and 3.5 cm (1.25 in.) wide, broad, and blunt tipped. Green filaments, flushed with maroon at first and turning to a deep maroon later, and greenish anthers make up the central tuft of stamens. Leaves are divided into five leaflets, which are somewhat hairy underneath. I think this just further points out the futility of trying to use pictures to make color combinations prior to planting. Here is a link that might be useful: COTW Allanah

winter frosting in attic problem
Q
Comments (1)
One other possible cause?.... In the winter we do not use the vents and plug up the vents from the bathroom ceiling with reflective insulation. COULD THIS BE CAUSING THE FROST WHEN MY 2 KIDS TAKE LONG HOT SHOWERS IN THE WINTER? I thought the new exhaust location in the soffits would just go up in the attic also (because hot air rises and the wind blows fierce). Should I block the soffits eaves in those 2 rafter cavities? The attic gets plenty of air. Originally the water in the exhaust duct to the roof was the problem. Did I cause the frosting by blocking the vents in the winter. We have a bathroom window that gets opened when they take a shower but that probably goes up into the attic bt the soffit too. Here is a link that might be useful: pictures of problem

Aren't those patterns so fascinating? Much prettier than frosted glass you can buy. Great pics! :)

Even though we've been in the teens at night, it's so dry, there's no frost..nothing wet happening in these dry plains. The farmers, and all of us, sure could use your moisture, Ron.

I wouldn't like being stuck inside either.

Ron, Great pics. They remind me of a little ditty I wrote several years ago:

A Slowed-Down Day

The world awakes to a slowed-down day,
Inviting me to celebrate
A day of selfish decadence
And consider it a twist of Fate.

Beyond my clear cold window pane,
Grey sky and opalescent snow.
I feed the fire with apple wood logs,
And myself with books and hot cocoa.

Beautiful. I remember waking up in our town house in the Chicago suburbs and finding the curtains frozen to the frost on the sliding glass doors in the kitchen. I had to let them defrost to remove them or I risked tearing them.

Another reason we moved to Southern California.

But there was nothing more beautiful than waking to fresh, deep, un-tramped-on snow, especially if I did not know it was coming and I had nowhere I had to go. Although the ice coated leafless trees after an ice storm would tie for beauty.
