Wild thing

Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you The Troggs

All sizes, shapes, colors. Nothing fancy, yet nice to have.

Jon, I agree, there are nice seedlings to find. I see blue wild seedlings with round puckered leaves. I have one seedling I thought to throw out 2 years ago, now it has big blue round puckered and cupped leaves. I have one with bright blue leaves, seems to be from h.'Halcyon', but with long petioles.

Last Fall I collected hundreds (make that thousands) of seeds and strew them on a thin coating of gravel that the city put around a replacement fire hydrant. Weeds grow easily through the gravel it all the time. I figured the hosta would grow as well and it would keep them sheltered as the weeds seem to be. NADA, so unless germinated seeds are viable for several years (???) I am back to hiring Mother Nature to plant my seedlings.

Stephanie I have purchased adenium twice from where the wild things grow on e-bay. the first time the seeds didnt sprout at all but the co. promptly sent me new ones which did fine. The second time the package was lost in the mail and e-bay refunded my money at the same time that WWTG replaced the seeds. They are due to germ soon.10 to 14 days. I need to contact wwtg to pay them but lately they have not been offering on e-bay. I will check again but I would say they are reliable we just had some bad luck.

I suspect either a squirrel or raccoon tore the screen and then the black snake took advantage of it. Squirrels are known to tear through screens, although I don't know what they would be after in your courtyard. Raccoons would be attracted to the water and certainly the fish and could easily tear through it. The snake is probably after the lizards and maybe even the fish if they are small. What makes you think it's nocturnal? Squirrels aren't night feeders but do move around in their nesting places at night, have you found any nesting material? Raccoons and snakes do hunt at night.

I have another version of that song but I'll behave myself! ;-)

Ma Nature comes cheap so good call! Really nice seedlings, Jon and I'm enjoying looking at mine grow. They make me smile.

My favorite ditty. In Houston at a knock-off Hog's Breath Saloon outside the Houston Airport with tree stumps for seats, sawdust on the floor, coin operated bowling machine and a juke box. Now gone (burned down) sadly.

THE I-95 ------- SONG
(Fred Campbell)

Well I was drivin' down I-95 the other night
Somebody nearly cut me right off the road
I decided it wasn't gonna do any good to get mad
So I wrote a song about him instead
It goes like this...

Were you born an -------?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'Cause you're an ------- tonight

Yes you're an -------!
And don't you try to blame it on me
You deserve all the credit
You're an -------- tonight

You were an ------- yesterday
You're an ------- tonight
And I've got a feelin'
You'll be an ------- the rest of your life

And I was talkin' to your mother
Just the other night
I told her I thought you were an -------
She said, "Yes, I you're probably right"

And all your friends are -------
'Cause you've known them your whole life
And somebody told me
You've got an ------- for a wife

-----------------

----and it can go on to your dog, your neighbors, your parakeet etc., etc..

Thanks for bringing back some memories and a smile to my face.
