Well...Alice... thanks... yes... I'm the same way... better and better as time continues..as welll as older and wiser...
Again... I didn't see your plant... Miss Octorber on the BGI calendar... just when she sad Mss October... I through my youth and " PlayBoy " saw the beautiful brug ...there in October... as a Miss October...as it happened to be of a similar color... BGI nor I made any claim as such..... but that's the beauty circuit... how come we have 50-60 to choose from for Miss Amerca and only a handful to choose between for the President..
I've a piile of your Canna Stutguartt drying now... it's such a big showy grower... also
keep up your great work on every front...YOUR Miss October is quite the beauty also..far nicer than the plant gracing the BGI 's October page.. I'm sure they would lie to have yours there for 2012... as 2011 is already assigned... with yours not being unveiled by choosing time
Happy Holidays to you and yours also..
MMMcan't edit this to rase the picture... oh well
Thanks Karen...
Yes.. Veronica... so far the cool room is working out... still no door on it.... but with a sheet of plastc [ with a 5" hole in it ] over the opening.. we saw 31*F and the sngle worklight.. kept it between 57* and 64* throughout a days cycle.. too hot I know.. butlast years heater was put away working.. and got sick and died.. so I have a light going to provide warmth which brings wth 67% humidity as the soil evaporates.. in an otherwise airtight enclosure.. woops it's 69* but steady in there now.. I do have pollen from her now... f you can do some breeding now.. or in the spring... it's here for you... your queston on the Axel Rose cross.. of how my leaves turned out... is a bit of a mystery.. you mean after the hail.. they were returning.. or do you mean them beng crinkled.. the hail took care of all that were..
Thans Dana... my this be the starting holiday of much joy there... and continue in such the most wonderful fashon through to the New Years cellebratons...
Patti... I'll keep you in mind for both..
a yellow and a white blooming in the park still.. a day before the low 30's temps..I didn't get outside today.. trying to get saucers under everything I brought downstairs... and then I finally got to water them.. well... and searching for a new auto... having blown my second engine in the Jetta.. they don't nterface well with the transmssion I had done nbetween... but the second engine did do about 40,000 miles... like the first one did... but t surely is enough to put me way behing with all the work.. and the search...
Seachanger... thanks.. yes we're trying to watch it and keep it going.. how about enterng your name into the first thread here of screen names/real names.. it helps me to imagine the folks here...
OH...I can't edit ths to raise the picture... sorry..
