Has anybody heard or seen Tiffy from Canada?
Comments (18):O) Wendy, Those should be Lynchnis Viscaria Splendens Fever. To all, There is no doubt that I will be requiring seeds in the future and definitely will be asking for some of my plants back in seed form from good friends. I've been taking a few trips down to my parents place more often. They have a wonderful home on good acreage and this coming winter I may winter sow with my mother who still enjoys gardening at the prime age of 84. We will be 'cleaning' some of her gardens this summer as some have gotten out of control and she loves the help. Even though the property is only 3 hours away, the zone is one up and her gardens are always ahead of mine. So Neil, yes, I will defnitely be asking for Inula seeds, morz8, start collecting poppy seeds, and Wendy, my mom would fall in love with Flo-Jovis. :O) Having a good day today...

Comments (6)Hehehe!! When I saw this thread by me, I couldn't figure out when I posted it - I didn't remember posting this one at all! But after reading it, I do remember that spicebush swallowtail dancing all over the palamedes. If they mated, the resulting hybrids would have to be called Sherry swallowtails! :) I never did see 'em mate, though, so I guess they weren't that confused! That reminds me, early this spring when the male hummingbirds had gotten here, but the females hadn't yet arrived, I heard a male buzzing the "shuttle" which is a mating ritual/dance they do for females. I thought surely a female was here, then I heard the same thing a little later, and he was courting a chickadee! I guess he just courted the littlest bird he could find!

Comments (7)Hey everybody, I'm OK. Been having some little health problems again, but still breathing. I retired from my job the end of April, so I've really been busier than ever. Don't know where I ever found the time to go to that office every day. I get to do that thing I always dreamed about, walk around in the morning with my coffee and look at what's blooming in my garden. Boy Howdy!! It sure is worth waiting and working for. Sylvia I can't find your number in my phone or I would have called you. I'm sure I had it before, but I've had a string of bad luck with cell phones. Did you know you can't put them in the washer? They're so flimsy! We're going down to Houston for treatment next week and will be back on Wednesday. I'll post over in the conversations side and let yall know how it's going. My plumerias are blooming. The snapdragons are hnaging in. Daylilies are getting into this hot weather and the weeds in the rose garden are going wild. There's a pink calla lily that I got at one of the swaps that is the most gorgeous thing I ever saw. I have some delphineums up and blooming and the balloon flowers too. The larkspur are finished and I'm harvesting seed. I got a lot of seeds from the bluebonnets this year and hope to be able to coax some of them to germinate in the greenhouse this summer. Mike B did some fabulous work on my house last month. He's great to have around ya know. He was painting dormers up on the roof and came inside for a short break. I mentioned that the carpet had pulled away from the tack strip by the kitchen so he fixed that real quick. Then this week the swamp cooler went out and I called him to see when he could come and fix it and he was here before I hung up the phone. I told him I'd like to have him on a retainer so he could just work for me all the time. My good friend from work, her name is Gwen, and I decided to open a little antique business together a few months ago. So we have a locked cabinet over at the Montgomery Street Antique mall. It's really fun and we've both made money from it. I'm also on the waiting list for a booth at Azle Antiques, but that one's going to take a while. Life is good! Cheryl...See MoreAnybody Heard From ?
Comments (8)Hi.. thank you Gemini for thinking of me....I drop in now and again.. but my life is going 90 mph.. and I mostly post at TMH and FB anymore.... The lack of rain has stunted much of the corn, but some of it looks like it will make a few ears... and the tomatos are doing pretty good... but Larry wouldn't listen to me and bought some plants that that have played out some time ago... meaning that the plants become inferior over the years...but he is learning... aaand the hired help looking after it.. well can't see all that well, and we ended up losing a bunch of tomato plants to hornworms.. The blueberries are doing well.. and I am hoping to plant maybe another 150 next spring.. We have been to Iowa twice to pick up some of his belongings, and to go to his daughters graduation from college.. and to Missouri a bunch of times... This month we have made two trips to Missouri to the VA hospital to get a cyst checked.. and now they tell us he has to have major surgery in St. Louis since the cyst us growing over his carotid artery... We were in st. Louis this week to see his cardiologist. and got a clean bill of health there.. Yahoooey.. and we went to visit yet another cousin... While in Fisk, Mo at his place there.. I decided to clean out his kitchen.. (typical batchelor quarters.. ) I spent two days on that.. and ended up bringing home a bunch of boxes full of Revere Wear and restaurant china dishes.. and some utensils... a deep fryer, a forman grill, and I can't even recall everything...I'll say this.. the man should go down in the Guuinness book of world records for stuffing sooon much stuff into his cupboards.. holey moley joe.. arry has given me free reign to do whatever it is I wish to do to his place there... so the wheels are a turning.. lol While in Fisk this trip, we went yto Dexter to look at some 5th wheel RV's.. and I found one that I loved and surprise surprise.. it isn't the most expensive one.. LOL It was a 38 foot RV.. and he was all set to go get it since I liked it... (crazy man).. but I want to see if I can get one similar slightly used for half of what this one cost new.. and besides.. we have so much to do this year that we don't have time to go anywhere for a month or two at a time.. He wants to go to the keys for a couple of months next winter.. and I love the idea... especially since I love snorkeling... and we can take the pups.. We had planned on getting hitched next Feb. 14th. but I have put it off for a bit longer.. there are a few loose ends I need to get tied up first.. and I need for our pastor to help me with some counseling about his beliefs... Suffice it to say... I have been busy busy busy and we have been like Willie Nelson... "On the road again ". LOL Hugs, Carolyn...See MoreJan
