Comments (13)Not sure what's going on with the forum pages but everything is black. I have to click and drag the cursor to see words. And every click brings up a Venture Capital One advertisement. Anyway, I love SOUTH SEAS. It has put on a fairly decent show for me this year. Great, considering I just got it last year. I am wondering if one of my NOID's is SPIDER MAN. I will have to check out the specs on it. Really love FORSYTH INDIAN SUMMER is a real beauty! Well, I just used my whole break because of all the pop-ups, so will check back later.

Comments (67)Well we are starting to get into our late summer weather pattern where it can be cool one day and scorching the next. We had a cold front push through last night and brought a good rain to my area. today we are having what I call a "california day" 60's in the morning and mid 80's during the day. Ive never been to CA but I imagine thats what its like, LOL The next 7 days are forecasted to be like this. Its such a welcome relief but also a reminder that I need to get the greenhouse ready and start making plans for overwintering. Our first frost isnt until October so I have time. Our weather here can be so crazy that it made me think of a few things. Those who live or lived here may relate and those who may visit might take this advice. You really have to be like a boy scout to live here. In the middle of winter we will have days in the 80's and then the next day it can snow 6-8 inches. The opposite is also true, snow in the morning and mid 50's to 60's by afternoon. In the summer it will get to 110 and the next morning it can be in the 60's. I have left for work in the morning and it was colder by 20-30 degrees when i left in the afternoon. anyways it keeps you on you toes. Mike...See MoreWednesday's Mystery Flower(s)
Comments (17)I have never heard of a common name for Colquhounia. I suppose "Himalayan Mint Shrub" is as good as any, though really it tells you nothing more than it's a shrub, it's in the mint family, and it comes from the Himalayas. Boring! If Dee or plantsplus don't manage to post a mystery flower in the next few days, I suggest someone else should have a go. It's an activity that seems to revive interest in this forum. I remember 2-3 years ago we had the same sort of thing quite regularly....See Moremantis__oh
