Comments (3)This gasteria was a very popular photo subject because of its very cool look. My question is: how does it even survive with so little photosynthesizing green chlorophyll tissue?...See MoreOT a little sad today. Calling pet owners
Comments (151)boxerpups - I am so sorry for your loss. Pets are family and provide so much love and affection that is unspoken and unconditional. We lost our beloved lab of nearly 10 years this April just shy of his 10th birthday. He developed a splenic tumor and was very sick. We opted to operate b/c the other choice was to put him down or let the tumor eventually explode (which it was close to at the time). We knew the chances of it being a cancerous tumor were very high but we wanted to give him every chance he could at life and there was a small chance it was non cancerous which gave us hope. We operated and he had a rough time recovering b/c of the size of the tumor and b/c his heart had been so stressed due to the tumor. We checked him out of the hospital against medical advice after nearly a week in the vet hospital b/c he wasn't eating on his own or really perking up if we weren't there. We brought him home and he was never happier to be home, went out in the yard, went upstairs (even though he wasn't supposed to - he always slept upstairs next to my side of the bed), snuggled with all of us and ATE! We thought he was going to be okay, drs were amazed he responded so well to being home. Well he passed away the next morning. :( Sometimes pets need the extra time with their owners as much has we need the extra time with them. Our dog NEEDED to come home and one extra night with us, check out the yard, go all over the house and make sure all of us were okay too. Turns out his tumor was not cancerous after all. We are glad we operated and glad we got one more night. So just because YOU needed the time, don't think your beloved pet didn't need the extra time too to say goodbye and spend with you and your family....See MoreChicago Botanical Gardens - C&S show & sale too :-)
Comments (16)lol @cactusmcharris! That is one of his favorite t-shirts, and he is always getting compliments on it! He got it at Target a few months ago. Maybe you can still find it? Maybe online? And that was the first plant I ever heard him say "I really like this one" about. He responds positively when I show him plants, but this was so independent, I got a little excited that maybe I could bring him over to the dark side. :-)...See MoreMay I Cross Post My OT but Planty thread from C&S Forum?
Comments (3)Seems to be skipping the further pix I added after comments. ..... Nice pics. Thanks for sharing them. Tyler Like Bookmark November 13, 2017 at 8:05PMSay thank you Karen Sternberg(NYC, zone 6) Thanks, wasn't quite done, had some technical issues, & the Finale hung up. Was going to say it wouldn't be NY w/out some blazing Red Maples. I grew up w/ them & still find them so dramatic & striking. A crisp 40 degrees, cloudless skies, perfect weather for this. socks(10a) Thanks. Interesting plants. The front entrance is beautiful! mesembs([palmsandsnow] Zone 7a, Hot & Humid) Looks like it was it was a nice day! I like the Pine especially. Like Bookmark November 14, 2017 at 1:19PMSay thank you Edit|Delete Karen Sternberg(NYC, zone 6) Found this pic: I forgot to show the most succulent thing I saw. Kalanchoe beherensis, look how big this leaf is. Wonderfully fuzzy leaves, suede-like to the touch. Don't know why they were drooped over, but so recognizable. Kara 9b SF Bay Area CA Looks like ‘Fang’, but its GIANT brother;). They can get the size of a small tree. I'm gonna guess the chilly NYC weather is making him a little sad. Kinda reminds me of Audrey II.
