this is the View, that the city did, they finally moved that metal cage, now today they stacked this asphalt on the street
right in front, I do hope they move it soon, it doesn't make a good view

Elizabeth

I bet I'd be talking to someone. Elizabeth.
Debra, I got your pkg today. Recognize part of them but not all of them.
Send me a D-mail please.
Got the brug in some soil to root. Red/White bulbs and other goodies.
Charleen

Charlene
I contacted the newspaper via email, tommorrow, I will contact the city manager, all up & down our street, my neighbor & I are the only one that have junk in front of our house's, the pile is higher now, plus they racked their tow motor across the neighbor's sidewalk, so if they paint it with their x's to be replaced I have a photo, I have the sweetest neighbor's
anyway, all up & down the street when they removed the asphalt, they had a dump truck too remove it
it being an election year they should consider things like that, I have photo's of the green space they made me remove
lucky I have the before, during, then I will have the after photo's on a better note, I put a Blooming Brug, that I have in a flower pot on the porch too make the view a lot better

Elizabeth

Very Good Elizabeth, you get them!!!! That brug will make it look even worse with it's beauty.
Charleen

Charlene
the view is better from the living room out, Thank you, they have just picked on the wrong person, if we had known they were going too do that, we would have bought a different house, Thank goodness, in awhile we can move, maybe by Spring
you're so Lucky that you live where you do, you have a Beautiful place, the woods are great
there is a House we were looking at that has 3 acres fenced, enough room for all my Brugs & a garden, that would be heaven, now that it's a buyer's market, we might get it for a lot less than they're asking for it, we'll see once, the people are back from Vacation

Elizabeth

Charlene
this is Santa Rosa, after it colored up some, I was looking at it on the sidewalk

Elizabeth

Debra, your plantroom is looking great. I have been moving my brugs around too. I think they will probably all end up in the basement.They just take up so much space in the plant room.
Elizabeth, MBH is as beautiful as ever.So is Santa Rosa.Hopefully they will get the mess on your styreet cleaned up soon.What better way to block the uglies, than with a nice blooming brug! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that you get that house! It is definately a buyer's market, right now.
Charleen, I can see why Xena is your favorite.....so pretty. Congrats, on the new greenhouse.You are gonna love it. I used to have a small one too, but sold it when we moved to the last house.The yard was just too small for it.
Dee

Hey Dee
there you are, Thank you, tommorrow, is a different day, I will call the City manager, this is ridiculas, I have a photo of the whole street, I will give it too Journal news, I sent them an email to their section of sound off, where your voices are heard
from my point of view it's discrimation, no one else on the street has too put up with that kind of junk, I am glad it's an election year, that's when the squeeky cog get's the oil
BTW how many Brugs do you have too dig, I've only got 23 more then I am done

Elizabeth

Elizabeth, remember the little zebra haworthia that you gave me when we visited? Well,as soon as I brought it into the sunroom, it shot up a bloom stalk, and has started putting out a couple babies.Here's a pic of the bloom stalk. Isn't it cool?

We posted at the same time again, Elizabeth..lol..It takes forever for this slow dial up, to post a pic, here on Daves.That's why I don't post many. I have 4 more brugs left to dig., but you do have a lot more brugs than I do.
Dee

I love Haworthias, they are tough little plants..
Elizabeth, I bet they will do something. You can always call the news people in your area. Like we have Channel 2 News.
Charleen

She is still outside, and still blooming.. she is so very tall..
My daughter has one of those little Haworthias, it bloomed for her..
beautiful pictures.. My brug room got a cleaning and a remodel since I have blooming plants down there right now..


Cassie Curls.. she is yellow with a pink tinge on her edges..

Debra- The CC is lovely. Yellow and peach are such pretty , delicate colors.
Dee- That zebra haworthia is so cool. i love succulents and cacti. Heck, I love all plants!!
Elizabeth- Wow, you sure do have many Brugs. Is your NB Cereus still blooming?

Sheri

here is cupids blush tonite..

The main Garden Room.. no brugs here..the lights are off..

The brug room, it is hard to get a shot of the whole area.. plus the closet and to the right of the door..

Look at my buddah belly seedling( the fat little stick looking thing) LOL and lime zinger, and sting ray and....

Debra- I love your hanging shoe holder being used for smaller plants! I'm gonna get one! ^_^

cost a dollar at the dollar tree, sheri... I love it. Last winter it was full of blooming plants that started out as seeds. You do have to put something under the little pots to keep them straight up tho, I just havn't gotten to it yet, when I water, it flows over the edge right now. Here is last years, in another area, minus a hook for the door..this was in end of feb or first of march I think...

Debra, looking great! You can tell you have been working hard.Love the color of Lime Zinger! I grow Elena, which is chartruese too.In your main plant room, what are the 3 variegated plants in the blue oblong planter , on the lower right..looks like clivia?
I love the dollar tree for plant containers.Also, I have been picking up pretty saucers and plates at the goodwill to use as plant saucers. If you aren't looking for dish sets, it's easy to find pretty ones.When they go 1/2 price, plates are .50 and saucers are .25.....can't buy the clear plastic ones for that at walmart.I always pic the earthy colored, deep ones.
Dee

Debra....when using the hanging shoe shelf, do you water often, or does condensation build up in each pocket and self water?? I'm definatley gonna get one of those!!!!!!

Good Afternoon Everyone
I just caught up on the post
Dee, I am so glad, it is doing so well for you
Debra, everything looks so good, that area in your basement looks great
Cheri, Hi, yes I do have many plants, not just Brugs the night Blooming Cerus should open tonight, I will post photo's
Charlene, that complaining works, that mess, is finally gone, the Guy in charge of the job came out this morning, I talked
to him for awhile, he gave me the direct number too call him, I ask him aren't you the one that told me I had too move my
plants, well he was, I told him the view was a whole lot better with plants, I gave them over night before I called the city
that's what got them on the ball, so all is good
Elizabeth

I Knew YOU could do it. I bet the other neighbors were watching too!!!!
Yeah!!!! for you Elizabeth. Charley would be proud of you. He says , "Elizabeth kicks butt good!"
He knew he was wrong.
Charleen

Charlene
Thank you, if they had not of removed it, I was going too call them twice a day, hey Girl here are some Blooms for you, I have too have them all dug by this week end, I have started taking them too the basement, I will post photo's after I get them in place, this is double peach

Elizabeth

Rosalie, before it got some color too it, this one still has too be dug up, I have 21, to do tommorrow, but I have a helper
coming over

Elizabeth

OMG Elizabeth. How beautiful! I have yet to see a double in real life here.
I am glad you got that deal settled. Take Charge! That is a great motto.

This is Santa Rosa, a night shot

Elizabeth

Dee, I do not have clivia, but I am going to "want" it someday. That is some kind of succulant from Padre Islands my Ex sent up with older daughter two years ago, it needs to be divided and separated as they grow huge I am told.
Tiff, They do hold moisture , but make sure you put something under the pots to make them sit up straight, they tend to tip over. ( Lose water) Also, put sand on top of those for fungus gnat control.
Elizabeth, your brugs are so beautiful. I wish I could come there to help you. I pulled out Milk n Honey and Kylies Pink from the front corner, Pend Pink and SD pod 6 from front triangle. One more to go out there.

Santa Rosa has a nice twirl. ;)

Debra
you would have laughed at me, I wasn't going too quit, I thought, they made me move my plants too look at that horrible mess, I wasn't going too look at it all week end, I wish my basement looked as organized as yours, I was just sticking them in there, I did get a lot done in about an hour & a half
Santa Rosa is becoming my favorite, I probably won't think that when I have too dig it up tommorrow, I would love too cross
SA with Super Spot, here's what it looked like before they moved it

Elizabeth

oooh, Elizabeth, that double peach is soo pretty!Sounds like you got 'em straightened out, but I knew you would.You are a tell it like it is girl!!
Debra, variegated plants always grab my attention.And that one is new to me.We have a green house close by that has boocoo different succulents, and I'm planning on adding more, come spring.They have lots of little starter plants, and I would love to make a succulent container garden.
Dee

Dee
Thank you, come spring, I can help you out with your succulent collection, I have more than I need, so I am cutting back
I have too carry all that I have too the basement this week end, it's suppose too frost, I hate that word, it's the zone we live
in, that double peach is something, it is a long Bloom, I was hoping it would Bloom before I have too dig it up
I took a couple more photo's of Miss B. Havin also both Blooms are triple's here is the Bloom

Elizabeth

Here's another View of Miss B.Havin

Elizabeth

WOW! gee, does anyone have a towel to wipe my drool off with? LOL
Dee, I will send one of those things. I only need one. There are three plants in there.
This stictocardia breavenis takes the whole closet down stairs. Air Hog. I cut it back and now it is going crazy. I have yet to see it bloom. Here is hoping. The bottoms of brugs and gingers are under it on some cardboard covered with plastic table liners. I picked up 6 more plastic waste baskets at dollar tree this afternoon for the rooted cuttings I have here. I burn holes in the bottoms with a long candle lighter. it works for winter. I deleaved and was checking cuttings from my coleus collection from gebhardts, and they are all rooted already. That was fast. I had them stuck in the large pots all around the edges. Now I have to get them out and re-pot them into small seedling pots. They will be ready for send outs soon. I made cuttings of lantanas, hibs and jasmines while I was at it. Here is hoping those root as fast as the coleus and salvias did.

Elizabeth, there's no mistaking MBH is there? What a beaut! Thanks you for the offer of succulents in the Spring.I'd be very happy to re-home any of your extras ;o) .Just let me know when ya need the postage. I know you will be so glad to have all your plants in. But, if I know you, you will start getting ready for Thanksgiving, right after that..lol Oh....to be as organized as you are , would be wonderful.
Debra...you know I had to look up a plant with a name like that ...stictocardia breavenis....sounds like something that would choke the life right out of ya...lol.What a beautiful bloom, and an amazingly fast grower...did I read possibly 6 ft. a day...oh my. You said that yours hasn't bloomed yet.How long have you had it? did you start it from a cutting? And, thank you for sharing that cool variegated succulent. I love varigated and BIG..well, I just love them all.
Dee

Debra, good afternoon
Dee, I wish I was as organized as you, well Girl I have put in a whole days work today, I have 3 yes 3 Brugs left too dig
now too get them in the basement, you would'nt believe the size of NN & Santa Rosa, I need too take a photo of them out of the ground, they are Huge, & I mean Huge, it's suppose too Frost tonight, so I will be spending about 2 hours this evening
getting them in the basement, what Fun, oh I got 3 Big bags of potting soil for $31.00 at Lowes today so I am ready
I have 3 succulants in mind for you, I gave my friend that helped me a Huge Terra cotta flower pot & a couple cement one's
also a lot of Houseplants, I meant too give him a Duranta, but forgot, it took both of us pulling to get some of the Brugs
out of the ground, I guess when I get done I'll sleep good tonight

Elizabeth

Sounds like you worked your tail off today, Elizabeth.I got my last three dug today too.Can't wait to see pics of your giant brugs!Girl, believe me when I tell you that I am anything, but organized. I'm a mess....but I'm a happy mess..lol Can I ask what succulents you have in mind for me, or is it a surprize? I know, I'm nosey.Whatever they are I will love them, cause they are from my bud!
Guess what, my big jade plant is covered in flower buds.I didn't even know that they bloomed. Maybe it's because I finally re-potted it this year. It was soooooo rootbound.
Where's that Charleen at?
Dee

Dee
I don't know where that Charlene, but she is surely missed
Yes I did work hard today, but it's so worth it, all my plants are in, that's always a good feeling, my basement is a mess right now, I will work on it tommorrow, the way your plant room is tells me that you're organized, I will post those photo's tommorrow, I have too down load them, well the succulants are a mystery? I will get them together for you, I am so glad you'll have Blooms on your jade, they're neat with Blooms, I wanna see photo's, I wish you had roadrunner, it's fast, since
I switched form zoomtown my service is so much better, getting the photo's are easier too post also
Elizabeth

I'd like to see the Jade Plant too.... a g'friend was asking me just yesterday if I had one.... she wanted one for her new home.... sadly had to tell her no...but gonna share a begonia with her...and some peace lily (which I have out the wha-zoooo)!!!!

Jade Blooms? WOW

You guys , we are all gonna have one big "YAY we are done getting things tucked away for winter " Party.
DH and Son were talking about the tubs they are bringing in this weekend. I told son I have to dig up Cherub. She has been whacked ( the three other stems) but now she has to come in, and she is still fully loaded with blooms. My Basement is still a mess. Told DH not cleaning anything down there until it is all in, and placed where I want it to be. But, I did promise to clean house before Thanksgiving.. ugh.
Dee, sticto was a small plant when I got it, it went crazy and grew all these arms about 8 ft long, no blooms yet, year two. It looks like it is budding now , tho.
I am rooting a cutting right now. Passies and chalice vine got detached from the gutters and roof tonight. they are all in a heap waiting for cut back.once those are in, I will be completely done.
