PS Oh Jim, what about stealing a few of these ? OH I mean getting a few from Gail... sorry Gail, you may be looking at this post... Nope your looking... I can tell.. Sorry... I would not be sitting here reading a very good book if I had those plants to take pictures of either.. darn it... Come on Jim, do your magic....
im gettting on nijia bike and my costume,figure i can be there if 3 days or so,,unless i happen to find you place on the way then i wont make it that far because ill be loaded down,
Susan.............I am holding my Russians closely to my bosom until I can propagate them...........got to keep them alive...........I bought them on ebay and they were advertised as Russian............
But I have plenty of good fantastic leaves to send to you this first time until I can propagate the Russian ones..............
I am really going to bed this time..............have to see who wins America Has Talent.........first.......
Just lurking here folks ... and enjoying all the Gorgeous Blooms!
... Gail, I KNOW Barbara Padilla is going to win America's got Talent! She is Amazing! I love country music and the guy who is second runner up will probably have a career singing but he is no where near the same level of talent as Barbara Padilla!
Hey ya Suzy Q! How are you doing? Your Plumie's are gorgeous! I still have 4 of the ones you gave me, all planted in the back yard and one is getting ready to bloom ... I am soooo hoping it has a pink bloom like the one Gail posted a picture of recently, it was so pretty!
I'm hoping we don't have a real cold winter because I am not digging them up!
Oh Jim, I have the Chi if you have the Ninja.... You can make it to both places in no time..... Oh Gail, You are not sleeping or if you are you are doing what I am doing NOT SLEEPING....LOLOLOL Ok where did you buy your Russian streps from? I do understand you keeping them close... I just have really never seen them on ebay... but has been awhile since I been there like I went missing on Dave's I also went missing on ebay....LOL Ok this time I am taking my pills and will be asleep in say oh who know....LOL
Night everyone... Oh Jim, don't wear the fairy dress down my road or the farmers may shoot you...LOLOLOLOL
Hugs,
Susan
Susan: Jannich said she had a Micro Mini Sinningia she is going to send you. I have one little one hanging on by a thread ... I need to repot it and see if I can save the little thing. They are really adorable little plants and look so cute in a wine glass.
Hey Lin,
I am doing better I am happy to say... I missed you lady.... I know it is not a cactus you sent but it is to me and still alive and well and blooming her little fanny off I might add...... Well the plumerias I sent out more then likely are not the same as I don't have allot of doubles if any... BUT... I may have had one break and it went out to others and who knows it may be the same.... They are beautiful are they not... I have to say I like streps allot more for they are easy to tend to and I don't have to haul them in the house for winter... 25 gallon pots are allot to move..LOL Take lots of pictures when it blooms... I have six this year so far that are blooming and one more coming but I don't think it will have time to open before it has to go into the house... I am very happy I shared them with you and others here and maybe down the road when all of ours get big we can take cuttings and share again... :-)
Ok to bed ...LOL
Hugs,
Susan
Lin,
You sent me my very first remember and I asked where is it LOLOLOL I did have one and it did really well for awhile but when I had my mood swing everything suffered and I am sorry to say it died.... YES I am very happy Jan is sending me one.... doing the happy dance..... She told me she would ... :-) Thats what is so nice about this family here... We help each other.... At first I thought I might sound like a beggar, but then I said ok beg.... LOL
Hugs,
Susan
Susan: What do you feed your Plumeria's? This is one I got from you that bloomed about a month ago and the fragrance was really nice ...
oh your a funny lady turtlechi ,just funny,Im still chuckleing,at the thought,
JIM
Glad I can make you laugh Jim ^_^ Lin, that is beautiful.... I don't have that one...LOLOL I am in bed Lin so tomorrow after work I will tell you what I feed them... It has a 50 middle number... People say in the summer to feed every other week but mine are lucky to get fed once a month... I don't think I have seen a plumeria I did not like... thats what got me into trouble...LOLOL
Hugs,
Susan
Susan, I have never even fed my plumies anything but osmocote and you are using a power bloom booster....................ummmmmmmmmm, got to think about this............
