Some still blooming in spite of the weather
Comments (18)Hey Helen. The weather was gorgeous the whole time. We had a passing shower in Grand Turk which was over before I got out of a shop and there were a few sprinkles while in St. Thomas but they helped cool us down. It was in the mid-90s while we were in San Juan and no cloud cover! UGH!!! The iguanas were sunning themselves in St. Thomas on rocks on the pier near where the ship docked in Crown Bay. The curly tailed smaller lizard I am unsure of the identity of. I assume it is in the skink family but not for sure which one exactly it is. My mom's cat caught one of the native ones here in the south which got into her glassed in back porch and brought it into the house for my mom. Needless to say Mom was not happy. She chased that thing throughout the house where it got under the TV cabinet and even climbed the walls. She finally got it back onto the back porch but the cat brought it back in that evening. My brother in law had to finally catch it and put it outdoors. No, never did take any pictures of the jewelry. I upsized my diamond stud earring from right under 3/4 of a carat to just over a carat, got a tanzanite, diamond, and austrian opal ring, and an alexandrite ring. Alexandrite is really cool because it turns colors from a mossy blue green color to purple and finally to a rose colored stone when it goes from fluorescent light to incandescent lighting. I needed another tanzanite ring like I needed a hole in my head since I have two other tanzanite rings but as I said previously when talking about clematis colors, I am a purple freak! The only way I could justify the purchase was since one of the current rings is a plain trillion cut tanzanite and the other one is an oval tanzanite with smaller diamonds around it. I guess the austrian opals and the much darker purple tanzanite took it over the top! LOL...See MoreSome of what's still blooming
Comments (9)They really are all very beautiful, & several with that watermark look that I love. Heavenly Angel Ice has not grown very well for me, I'm afraid the kiwi vine grew much too close to it. I've moved it & hope it does better next year. It is already looking better. That is a great flower on White Eyes Pink Dragon, & Claudine's Charm is always amazing. Like Celeste said, the last blooms of the season are to be savored. I only have a few plants reblooming now. Supposed to be really hot this next week, I imagine they will bloom out pretty fast....See MoreStill blooming on 8-15-2015
Comments (7)Maryl: Aztec Headdress does good here. I moved a clump last fall to the back garden holding area and divided it as it was too big for one large clump to be replanted. This year it came in shorter than normal so hopefully next year it will be better. Marley showed up on our doorstep a couple of years ago. Very friendly, litter box trained and a great disposition. I think someone must have dropped her off in the area. We love her and she has a safe place with us. :) Thanks all for the comments. Julia...See MoreStill some nice ones, and Re-bloom hs started:
Comments (15)Julia, we need rain, hope we get it, but just rain....no trouble as they are threatening. I think WPW is used in a lot of UFs...I noticed Whip city has a number, and the ones you have mentioned...Davisson may have used it for others...And it is pretty on its own. Thanks Brad. I have always liked that one. Nancy, I agree it is a lot prettier than I expected it to be. It is supposed to be 40 inches and the bloom seven. Definitely it is hardy. We had some hard freezes and it survived and has a fantastic root system! It was too good a story not to share. kay...See Moreaprilscott12
