Morning Hotties!! Good Grief, chatter chatter chatter, it'll take me ALL morning to catch up... skimmed real quick, CONGRATS Cat!!! Blooms!! Yes, it is normal for them to start out white or yellow and then get their true colors. Donna, if it doesn't open tonight, get a long extension cord and a hair dryer should do the trick! lol (I'm imagining you doing that, lol) Don't. It will open. Patience Hottie. I took pics of Maya and Antique Lace this a.m. Maya is starting to get her color, but I too can't upload 1 pic without uploading them ALL on my computer at work... (and Drew is leaving to go back to his apt. today) on his laptop, I can stick my card in and I can look and post without uploading them all)... so, I need to see if Mel can help me figure something out... Peggy, you sweetie, I've missed you... I'm glad you are getting more rest. AND NO marble problems for me at the moment, haha, (although I have been thinking about my bowling ball winter project ;oP Sometimes, silk flowers are okay to use..... (I don't) but only for a party or something... NEVER to replace the real McCoy! lol I can't imagine having big expensive urns and filling them with fake flowers... what in insult to those big planters! And marble mulch???? OMG (I have my share of "garden art"- some pieces may be considered tacky by some) but fake flowers outside??? Never. Clemen, what is that brug you took a pic of from the "roof"? It looks smaller growing from that angle, is it??? Thanks about DD Barb, she does resemble me the most of my 3, but I would say, she's pretty... I'm old and wrinkly, lol. I have a pic of me hugging her BF at the party Sat... when I figure how to post without downloading the whole card, I'll show ya my wrinkles and gray hair! Becky show us more pics!
Yep, we are pretty lucky to get to have an RU with Hottie Sis's and our Midwest garden buddies. I'm so excited to meet Louise in person and have a chance to chat with Cat more and see everyone, old friends and new.. (Oh, Louise, I could never turn down any hibiscus, here's a pic of Electric Blue, more purple than blue) I'll bring some clippings from some of my tropicals... We will have such a great time.. Cat, Louise? Are you going to stay over for the trip to Powell Gardens on Sunday?? Joyce (Happ) and I were discussing her missing it and we hope we can ALL make the one next Spring..
