WANTED: Ricky's Swap and Grunt - Sunday Oct. 22nd
Comments (151)I have the red super king, the trinidad is what I am after. I don't have a rooted white COT, I am just sticking it in a pot now for you, so you could stick a red cutting in a pot for me. :) If the yellow one is solid yellow, I'll take that too, and I am bring you a yellow & pink one. I also went back to HD and picked up one of those crotons for you. :)...See MoreRoses &Stuff #8 (2015)
Comments (103)msdorkgirl, After thinking about it for awhile it would be very hard to buy the same rose bush for all of us since our climates & BS pressure differ so much. I also can't plant a rose bush at this time of the year. Plus I need to see if the newer roses I bought & planted the past 2 years are going to even be ok for my conditions... I'm going to slow down until I know all is stable here... Probably only getting One rose next year but its known to do well here... (My friend has it...) That Lupine is awesome Sam! :-)...See MoreRoses & Stuff #13 (2015)
Comments (70)Carol: you have snow? Wow!! I admire your growing roses in a cold zone. Thanks to the river nearby, we are blessed with warm weather until today, Oct. 3 where it gets to the 50's, but it will be up to 70's again in a few days. Today is the 1st time that I didn't go out to work in the garden, nor walk with my kid, I went shopping instead. I really like shopping early at 8 am in the morning, much less people, so I can get the best stuff. If there's only 2 or 3 items left, it's good stuff. Like 2 Nutella jar left .. my kid eats graham cracker and Nutella for her lunch at school, plus a turkey sandwich EVERYDAY. Kids are funny, they don't like variety, they like the same old thing. I asked my daughter what she wants for dinner, she said, "don't make anything new." She doesn't like it when I try new recipe. We once went with my nephew to Old Country Buffet when he was 8 years old. There were at least 6 different main-dish, plus 3 different soups, plus so many stuff in the salad-bar. He ate nothing but macaroni and cheese. My sister was mad, she said, "I could make you mac and cheese for 50 cents at home, why do I need to pay $10 just for that here?" Sam & Jim: you two crack me up ... that's funny !! I pray for Heather & your wife Sue .. having a virus doesn't feel good. Which reminds me to make brewer's yeast & honey & milk for my kid. Epicor is an extract from Brewer's yeast which is clinically proven to boost immune system & lessen one's chance of catching colds with its high B vitamins. Those Epicor pills are sold $30 per bottle on Amazon, while $10 of Brewer's Yeast last me for 4 months. If I mix it with milk, plus buckwheat honey, it's really yummy. http://www.livestrong.com/article/287160-what-are-the-dangers-of-epicor/ " EpiCor's beginnings go back to the Diamond V Mills company in Iowa, which for decades has made a special yeast culture animal-feed additive that helped increase production in dairy cows. Over time, an insurance company noted that certain employees — the ones exposed to the yeast product — rarely reported illnesses. The company tested its fermented yeast in the lab and found the product had more antioxidants than blueberries." Pink Peace, one of the 2 roses in my garden which is grafted on Dr. Huey .. really likes pea gravel: more petals & larger. Pic. Taken Sept. 30, when the temp. was over 75 & warm night....See MoreLily Bulb sale at Chicago Botanic Garden! Oct 17-18, 2015
Comments (3)I went to the bulb sale yesterday and had a great time! There was a great selection of bulbs at pretty good prices. I also became a member. It was great to meet a few of the members and get some advice - and free seeds - on how best to grow lilies. If you're in the Glencoe area, definitely check out the bulb sale and consider becoming a member....See More

This is a flamingo racetowin, Then theres another pink bird that is called A pink Ibis that looks like this
Then the last pink bird we can see in the southern part of florida is a pink spoonbill
like this one. All 3 of these birds can only be seen in and around the everglades about 8 hour drive south from where Im at unfortunately, so all 3 shots were taken at local zoo's. I personally would love to go to the everglades but would have to spend at least 2-3 nights there to see things like this in the wild.Mary Prefontaine
8 years agoSome of the colorations vary from each bird, depending how much they feed on the pink brine shrimp. These guys must have been fed bucket fulls of it daily lol
look at how deep pink they are!jim1961 / Central Pennsylvania / Zone 6
