Lin, we do as you do. We watch TV and wait for almost liftoff, and then run outside and look north east. This time we only saw it for a brief few seconds before it went into the clouds.
A few years back, a customer of mine at CompUSA got us passes to go see a daytime launch. It was the most breathtaking sight I have ever seen. My hubby and I both had tears in our eyes. What a great country we live in that we can share these moments freely, not like other countries where everything is kept secret.
Now to get back to pictures, here's a pic of my passiflora. I don't know which one it is, but it's growing all over the screen enclosure. The butterflies love the leaves. I went to check in the corner of the yard where I have ginger growing and found a bunch of passion fruit hanging from one of the passion vines. This is the first time we have fruit.
I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow. This is the exact color of the flower. There are so many blooms on the vines, that you can smell the perfume all day and well into the evening. I had a red one, but it died during a freeze we had a few years ago. This particular passiflor is very invassive. It's comming up all over the yard. Every time I go out I pull a few more babies out of the ground.
