Moni's photo is of the Ingham, now a museum in Key West. It has the distinction of sinking a German U-boat while providing escort service to the U.S. Navy during WWII.

Here is a photo from the other side of the ship.

Jim, I didn't know all that... you know, about the Germans... but I did go up in the lighthouse, and took pics from up there.

Ginger, what a riot of color! I need a little more color in my life... I am looking forward to the colors of spring and summer in my yard.

Christmas Amaryllis 'Minerva' finally blooming.

Nicole - Beautiful bead work. I use to do that, very time consuming.

caflowerluver, is your 'Minerva' indoors? It is ahead of my Amaryllis in the garden, which are still growing their spikes.

Really beautiful pictures today. I agree very nice work Nicole.

My Amaryllis have not all bloomed. But my purple iris have they were a welcome sight. I didn't get a picture this year.

Here's my poinsettia still just as beautiful as the day I got it.



gyr-falcon - Yes it is growing inside in the ceramic pot and growing medium that came in the box. My 'Apple Blossom" flower died in the bud stage so no flower this year. I have lots outside that I planted after they bloomed but they haven't had flowers for awhile.
