lovely shots.
When I read "bad hair day", I was hoping that you were talking about a daisy with weird petals which I called "bad hair day" daisy.
I was hoping because I lost mine and I was going to beg a piece to see if I could grow it.

Nice ponderosas. That bad hair is one to watch! If it holds true, it will give the tree an interesting look. It sort of reminds me of an unusual needle shape pattern I saw once on a ponderosa in northern New Mexico. But yours appears much more krinkled. Ponderosa pine, with twisted needles Ponderosa pine, with twisted needles

Thanks So Much Carol...that was fast! Love this forum! I looked it up and that looks just like it. Do you know when the fruit is ripe? I'd love to give it a taste and harvest some seeds.

You all are making me cry now.......you have all been there for us during this whole time. I wanted to share and many of you played large parts in some of the things I have sent her, and your stories that I relayed to her. We are all part of her healing process. There are so many of us that are going through this or have been through it. What a wonderful thing to put your story to paper, you never know when something you say, may make a difference in somebodys life. When Mary Jo was at the Relay for Life in her town, she saw a huge sign someone was holding, it said "Heaven can wait" I have a picture of it in fact, and plan on doing something with that and this article. Just those three words inspired her, and those three words make me tear up every time I see them. If you go to the link there are three other stories that are very heart warming too. She is going to send me the actual copy of the paper, and I think I will have it framed for her for Christmas...along with a T-shirt that says, "No really, I'm Fine" Trin

Really does look like a bad hair day. I'm hoping my crucifix orchids survived from a puppy attack. I have them in and around a hollow log. What colours do you have?

I love Pixie and Dixie. I gave up naming my chooks, too many looked the same.

The plants really look good after a bit of rain.

Hi GH I only have orange and a pink C. Orchid.
I agree with you about naming chooks when I have more that twelve I give up.
But we only have the four, and they are a little different in colouring, so easy to reckonise.
Cheers..MM.

I supposedly have about five different colours of Crucifix orchids...I say "supposedly" because the only ones that have ever flowered for me are the ordinary orange and a deep pink which I noticed only the other day.
I can't work out what I'm doing wrong....too much water? not enough water?

All lovely MM, could we expect anything less? I think not. Next time you are throwing your over supply of cannas in the bin, spare a thought for me. I have a fence line I am trying to fill with cannas of any kind. I will send all post costs.

That would be lovely MM. I have cuttings of Pink summer snow, one of my Donelle's roses in for you. A very pretty little rose that goes from dark pink to light pink to snow white. A delightful climber and unfryable too.
Does the bad hairday plant form a bean pod. I have a tree here I am trying to identify.
Cheers, Jacq.

Seeing your chooks makes me want to get a couple of them, nothing nicer than a hen scruffling and talking as she goes.
Grandkids have changed towns now and Henry has planted the chook yard with veges, so I guess I had better resist the urge.
Your plants are great and wasn't the rain wonderful, better than all the hand watering .
