We had a tornado about a mile of us here, I was waiting for the roof to blow off, I had to let down the umbrella for the first time this year and so all the vines climbing the umbrella pole had to be severed .. *sniff sniff* we only had small hail here but son had baseball size at his place up in Wichita, everything here got trimmed by the wind and hail, so I am glad that happened. Son has holes in his siding and roof, but his car is okay. he said his plants were all under water, I told him that is okay it will go down and then they will take off like rockets. He never waters anyway..
I feel my winter hibernation instinct kicking in, I can't seem to wake up on time now. I always "catch up" on sleep in the winter.. Cherubs blooms stems were broken off and since the tips had buds on them, I am going to try to root one. I really don't need another brug, so if it roots, I will send it off to someone. Picked up another clamp light at wally world on the way home, before the storm hit. Can't wait to get things in to the basement ..
Hap, if I could I would move back to Florida in a heartbeat.. Rita I see you mention Belize alot, I am clueless as to where it is. Gordon, that bloom is beautiful!
This is my baby sago palm I started from seed, from Lazlo. Or maybe sabo palm? I have no clue what to do with it now.
