And nobody is going to stop me from proclaiming how happy I am to see the profusion of them these days.

Yes, dandelion wine is some powerful stuff. Funny story - the last time I made it (it was about 15 years ago), I asked my dad, who was visiting, if he wanted some. Yes, it was the well aged vintage LOL. It was as smooth as silk, if I do say so myself. He took a sip or twelve, grinned and said "My, doesn't that bring back memories!" Now I had never heard any of these so-called memories re: dandelion wine. Turns out his father (my grandfather) and his grandfather (my great-grandfather) made lots of it in the secret room in the basement during Prohibition. Of course, it was for medicinal purposes only :-) I always knew I inherited this cantankerous streak from somewhere in my gene pool, and now I know where it came from. In that same conversation, my father casually said "Oh, of course you know about Grandpa M getting arrested for..." Amazing how a few glasses of dandelion wine broadened my genealogical history :-)

Well you need a permt from the USDA in order to legally import plants into the country. You have to file for the permit listing the countries from which you are going to be importing plants. You have to set up an account with the USDA and get approved at a local office. Once your account is set up you have to print out stickers to send to the vendor to use (or email them the sticker file to print out). Then all the vendors we have ever worked with charge about $75 to prepare all the phytosanitation certificates. You can't just click buy on ebay and think you're ok.

Sure, let's see if Lydia confirms the ID. The greener variegation on the left is pretty interesting too. I'm pretty well, thanks for asking, and you?

I had no idea Carding Mill was so beautiful!

I think we can safely blame(or actually thank) the fall weather for Carding Mill’s giant globe. Many of my blooms are looking different from the norm right now. Below is one of my potted Cream Verandas. It’s normally very peach or cream for me. I just looked at it, and it’s WAY pinker than what I usually get. I like it. It’s just about dark, so I hope you can still see the colors. I know Yves Paignet always has large frilly blooms, but mine are WAY larger than normal. These things are HUGE! I hope Carding Mill will give me a few more of those incredible globes before the spring flush. Lisa

GW needs to be flooded by these beauties as we appreciate the symbolism. Variety is a wonderful thing. Be who you are.

We were enjoying double the beauty the other day from our patio.

I especially love this — how it looked right as it started showing up. Powerful. This is not edited:

I wish for more peace and kindness in this world, and less hate.

I wanted to share this beauty (actually a double if you look in the upper right corner) that I photographed at Pearl Harbor. It was a really beautiful moment that nearly brought me to tears thinking about all of the wonderful people who have served and protected our freedoms. And to feel thankful for the freedom we do have and to vow to stand up for keeping those freedoms.
