Oh No! The worst thing I've ever done to another Gardenwebber.
Comments (11)ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you felt free to share this story with us, Lynda! You had me laughing harder than I have in years! When I thought I couldn't laugh any harder, I read your signature! LOL!!!!!!!!! FloodTheLast got me giggling again with, "Also if I get such an email in the future I will no longer believe any excuses, ;P" LOL!!!! But, seriously, Lynda, I think we've all accidentally sent an embarassing email before and had it come back to bite us. You apologized, and I'm sure the member really understands. Now, we can all look back on this great story and just giggle every now and then. That's what I love about humor. It's rarely funny when it's happening to you at that moment, but later, it really can bring a good chuckle. Blessings, Angela...See MoreI have to say..Oh No!
Comments (15)Wow Stephania, that is one huge, beautiful, spiky bugger! Well done! But how are you going to get a ladder in there amongst all those plants at ground level, to get to the flowers for pollinating? - and still no buds at 2 metres high! Major garden surgery and reallocation of plants? Do you wear a spike-resistant body armour when attempting these feats? I admire your dedication - from a distance! Good luck with the pollinating. Cheers, Kerry...See MoreOh, no--another freeze warning!
Comments (20)I'm happy to report that our low was only 35 degrees this morning. I just wish the forecasters would be a little more accurate in predicting these "freeze warnings"...they upgraded my freeze watch to a freeze warning yesterday afternoon, said it would be below freezing for appx. 5 hours below 32 degrees and yet I was a degree warmer from the day before,lol...I don't mind being warmer than predicted but goodness there's a HUGE difference between 35 degrees to up to 5 hours of below 32! Its just SO much work covering all these plants when I didn't have too...Se la vie...Thanks for letting me vent about these inaccurate forecasting!...See MoreOh no! Another plant addiction, Orchids!
Comments (27)Smiling, you've already started to get the "eye" - well done. The orchid in question is partially a "why not". It is Stlma. Florida Sunset (B. Maria del Carmen X Ctna. Why Not) This is an awesome cross. I've had it a few years and it will not stop blooming, ever! I've wanted to repot this pretty for the past two years but everytime I start thinking of doing it - out comes 10-20 more blooms so... it's happy so I'm happy. I don't think you did anything wrong, it may have been a multitude of reasons it didn't last long - traveling to the show, exposure to different heat/cool ranges, recently repotted (as you have surmised), etc. Take the approach/attitude that it is external and not something "you did wrong". We all do "wrong" but orchid growing is a learning process. I've been exposed to them for over 40+ years (I'm 51 now) and I still have MUCH MUCH more to learn (smiling). Welcome to the Addicted Orchid Society (AOS). Here's another view of Florida sunset....See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
