The larger dog Juju, is part Blue Healer. The smaller dog Pepe is the first to stand guard and attack, his favorite game is chasing cats.
Welcom to Tropical Garden #76
I have three ittsi bitty dogs and Pepper , long haired chihuahua ,is the terror of the three.
Thinks he's a pitt bull .
Lili , where did you get the steroid
Both jasmine have the same fragrance, one is not stronger fragrance than the other. My mother friend bought the plant for me. I believe it was at an asian supermarket close to DeKalb Farmers Market (in Decatur). I do not know where this market is. She bought it last year.
Since we are sharing dog photos, here's mine. She's a boxer.
My poor gd got a boxer , first fur baby . Only had him two years , had to put him down . He even had a wagon to ride in when they went bicycling , his own bed and blanket . Mama used to raise them . Wonderful friend .Maybe she'll get another someday.
Lili , If you make it up to laurels in July , I'll trade you some giant hosta (2 kinds ) for one itty bitty cutting of that jasmine . If you have enough for a cutting , it may be rooted by then , or close to it ?
the small jasmine will root but I have tried to root the large jasmine and it won't root.
Nuts !
digger9083, I had a Catahoula/Rottie cross, she was the best dog I ever had. Very loyal and LOVED KIDS ! She had the Catahoula coolering, and the Rottie "wiggle" ! Finally had to put her down at 16 years old.
can't find a pic of her on the computer, rat's....
When we lose our friends , it hurts so much . All dogs have a different personality and can never be replaced . Each new pet makes it's own place in our hearts, and maybe that's good . It's hard to know an era is over , never to be again . A friend e-mailed me a few days ago with the words , " One door closes and another door opens " So true , a great grandmother dies and a child is born , such was in the Great Plan .
digger, I'm going to try to root the steroid jasmine again and see. If I'm successful, I'll bring ya one.
Great , even if it doesn't work , I can still dig you a hosta . Hugh leaves,let me know if your interested .
Another one of my Philodendrons.
My Ron Weeks hybrid Philo.
I wish i could get a better picture that shows the whole leaf which is 40ins.long.
Digger, I forgot about the hostas. Do you know what kind of 'big' hostas? I already have Sum and Substance. It gets really big. Mine is not quite as big as the one at Hasting.
This is photo from the spring. It's alot bigger now.

Gosh Jerry, that is the prettiest Philo, does it stay outside all the time?
To the left of this picture you can see the varigated leaves of the Omaha Gold Salvia. I grow big grasses and sunflowers for the mgs and the passis to climb on.

Lili , they are the same , but I have one that's a blue and stands straight up , I can cut it loose . I'ts big , but not as big . I don't know the names . Got them from a neighbor , before she sold her house. I'll send pic later after DH goes to work

Is Monroe a working dog or a pet?
He looks just like one i had back in the 80s.
He had been a working dog but got hurt so a
friend gave him to me. Great pet for me.
Jerry
He is a pet , but great watchdog . Once you get in the yard , you are accepted (just don't try it by yourself). House dog , cats ok ,will chase if they run , kids ok , can sleep on him . He has never bitten , but he will stand over another dog , male , small , and bark like he would attact. can't pull him off .Otherwise , well trained . Sits up , rolls over , stays , fetches . All that . His hips are going altho he's only six yrs old . So sad , he only has about another year before the last trip . Can't jump up in the truck now ,has to be helped.Weighs 125 .One glass eye . He was a cull , his brother sold for 3,500 .He does know the boundries of his own 5 acres and stays on it . A pit bull broke through the solid wood fence in town and attacked him . Each owner picked thier dog up ,dogs were still attached by mouth , pulled them apart , the pitt bull went to vet with wounds in head and a crunched leg . Only fight Monroe ever had .
I'm going out now and take some pic to post .
Ok Lili here are the pics. The first one is like yours the second doesn't look blue anymore
This is what used to look more blue , and can you i d that red flower in the first picture ?
LOL! I think I might have that blue one too. And mine doesn't look blue anymore either. What do you think? It's a 'Blue Mammoth". The red flowers in the picture with the Sum & Substance looks like Crocosmia. I'll have to look again and see.
edited to add: Yep, it looks like a crocosmia to me. Funny, that we have the same hostas. I got them at Lowe's last year, really cheap. They have a great hostas selections and very affordable.

I'm going for sure to divide that Sum and Substance . I love that thing . I divided the other one last year . I have several others but all were given to me I have no idea what the names are .I do have a little midget one also. It has never bloomed and I have a old fashioned one that makes seeds . They come up everywhere and after fighting them , I just let them grow now . I'm getting used to them . If they are in the way , they get cut , if not , they get to live altho the cut ones come back . I'm going to have hundreds of 3 "
and 4" pots this year . . I hope to give them away .
My blue one makes seeds....
Mine doesn't . Bring some with you , ok ? I found these plants 15 years ago on the river at an old abandoned homesite , many , many years old .Beautiful plants .
ok.
Me too , if they are ripe .
if not, I can mail 'em to you later.
Yea, Slow soaking rain.
Boy have we beening needing it!
Me too , Lili . Sounds like a plan !
Hello everyone!! thanks for all the enjoyable pictures and comments!!
Texasbigleaves, thanks for starting the new thread!!
Everything is Big and Beautiful in your garden, your second photo could be a Philo. 'Evansii'. I bought a cutting on e-bay. The lacey leaf plant in the pot from Raymond is 'Pride of Barbadoes'.
I am fighting every bug you can think of this spring, and I am still waiting to get a nice soaking from all the rain aound us.
Joeswife, I do hope that you are doing much better now!
These are white moonflowers, It is hard to catch them in full bloom.
I love your pink milkweed.(save seeds please)
LiliMerci, I am so impressed with your Jasmine on steroids. I am always buying them, but can not keep them alive for long.
digger903, Those are beautiful big hostas. I have to keep mine in pots.
RachelLF, thanks for the nice comments!!
I do enjoy aroids, ever since Texsbigleaves gave me my first Philo. some twenty years ago.
Metrosideros, Those were very enjoyable pictures!! That is the next best thing to being there. Thanks.
