Lynn, you do so much better than I. Are you using a light box?
Beautiful blooms ladies. If I could only get my lights right!!!

Melanie, if you ever get your lights figured out, please let me know. I have played and played with mine and I don't think I will ever figure it out LOL!!! Too high for some too low for others...can never make mine happy. I am surprised my gloxinias are budding and trying to bloom.
Connie
Oh Connie,Faye is sooo pretty!! Have you tried turning the lights on during the night and off during the day? Don't cry LOL.....we will get you fixed up in the fall.
Thank you so much Kim ^_^.
LOL,Melanie.I throw them on the bed,usually on top of a black tee shirt or my husbands burgundy robe.It seems like I do best around dusk without a flash or a very dark room with a flash.I can take decent outdoor pictures,but I'm afraid of getting critters on my plants.
Lynn
I did think about that, Lynn. I have a "plant room" and I have other plants across the room from the gessies. It has a huge picture window in it and then 2 small windows on the side the gessies are on. I was afraid they would not get the rest they needed if I ran them at night. We are slowly remodeling and came to a halt when hubby got hurt so I am hoping I can move some gessies into the room we have been working on later in the year. Guess it is already getting late in the year LOL!!! We also have boxes upon boxes out in that room that I am trying to sort through for yard sales (Mom's stuff) to give me room to finish the sheet rock. Hmmm...maybe I should have said late in the year of next year LOL!!! I will get there :)
Connie
I have faith in you ^_^.
Thanks for that, Sis! That's why I love you so much :)
^_^
Connie, this is just a small bump in the road.......you can do it!!
Small bump VS mountain of boxes LOL!! I like the way you look at it so much better, Melanie!
Thanks, Sweetie!!
Connie
My violets are happy with the new repotting hubby and I did a few weeks ago. It had been a long time! I have been too ill. Hubby did most of the work. I am SO glad we did it, so many to do.
It looks great Sally!! I am sorry to hear you have been so ill again.I hope you feel better soon.
Lynn
Same CFS and it's effects. A very bad year. I am trying my best to improve.
I am glad most of my a. violets have made it this year. Hubby kept them alive. I can do it now with a bit of help.
He's doing a fine job!!
Sally I am sorry you are not feeling well but it looks like hubby is doing a FANTASTIC job helping you with your plants. You get some rest and take care of yourself.
Maybe a few pictures will help with the struggles you are encountering.
This is from my outside garden. It's called 7 Sisters Rose

Gorgeous Kim!!! What an unusual bloom on the Iris.
Lynn
Hey Thanks Lynn :)
I can't tell you how NICE it is to have blooming babies all around................finally!
I didn't realize just how much I missed it.
So,...........I decided what to do with the luncheon plates I bought at the yard sale.........*lol*.
I do believe these are called "dish gardens" *lol*
More gorgeous pictures, Kim. I love them and I love that FAIRY!
It's just like yours Sally :)
Or are you speaking of the other one with the folded hands?
Either one; I just couldn't leave them there *lol*
I just LOVE fairies :)
Thank you SO much :)
Kim
I love both, ha. I love the one I don't have too.
We have not found all my fairies, still packed. I can't do it myself. DH is taking vacation soon so we hope he can get things done then. Poor thing does SOOOOO much. Angel.
I LOVE this big fairy.
I like the fairies as well Sally, and I have only one! She sits on the top shelf of one of my smaller plant stands. I don't have much worth posting, but I have this one overachieving violet...it's like the energizer bunny--it just keeps going, and going... http://s333.photobucket.com/albums/m370/fleebeesmom/Jolly%20Gremlin/
Phoebe, that is SO pretty!
Phoebs,
Your pictures are always worth posting!!
Kim,
I love your little "dish garden".
I'm not particulary a fairy or angel fan,but all of yours are so darn cute!! I tend to like little critter figurines,like turtles,bunnies,(hear that Phoebs?),chipmunks,etc.
Great pictures!!
Lynn
Hi Kim -- Love your trays, and I think that's a great use for them. And your bubble gum machine terrarium is too cool! I have some "interesting" containers for plants as well, my particular weakness is the $1 section at Target. I've gotten Easter egg dipping cups, various beach toys, little kid flower kits etc -- never know what you'll find! And I had to laugh about seeing terrariums everwhere -- the kitchen center at Target is my source -- it's amazing what you can find for a buck or two. And there's the Asian noodle bowls there as well ... too fun!
Jan
Lynn, I'm with you on the little critters - I've got silly bright green glass frogs that I just adore, and I just seem to keep finding little birds, bird salt shakers, little metal birds, ... they're everywhere once you start noticing! LOL.
-Jan
Sally! So good to see you posting!! Phoebe, you too!! I am seeing more pretty pics showing up here :) Thanks for sharing. Great ideas being posted on here too!
Connie
Oh everyones pictures are so beautiful, i guess we are all doing something right.lol Sally, hope you get to feeling better real soon, hubby is a blessing. kim, all your idea's are always great.here are my fairies.
Bonnie
SOOOO pretty Bonnie. I have fairies all around my desk at work. Everyone always makes fun of them but I just LOVE looking up from my desk and being surrounded by them. I will try to get a picture today to share w/all of you :)
Kim
Sweet and pretty fairies, Bonnie! I will have to get all of my fairies together someday, in one picture!
Irabec, I love critters also. I can't COUNT my birds! This is old, was my g.mother's. I have a lot of her birds.
It's darling Sally!!
Well, little Samantha decided to give me a bloom today. She is either shy or she is a tease because she doesn't have near the buds on her that Faye does. Maybe Faye the is "ham" of the bunch LOL!
That is a gorgeous bloom, Aspen!
It's a beauty Connie!!
What a lovely shy girl Samantha is Connie. SO pretty!
Kim
