Miss B. Havin Brugmansia

Don't get me started counting critters. I am down one cat this week, he just did not come home. Years ago I got some barn cat for the bird farm and both had kittens and My wife, Maggi heard I had kittens for free and came over to get some. That is how we met. She took several but when we got together she gave some away and kept Hoss. He was almost 15 and that s a good life for a farm cat. He has been declining all this Summer. We are down to 5 and that will keep for now.

I had to sell my horses in 06 when it was so dry, hay was $90 a bale and now every time I see a horse in some pasture I want to cry. Guys can have their Jeeps and hot rod truck, I'll take a horse any day.

Retta, those cats are so pretty
Charlene, your Mules are really pretty, I bet they're fun
Kim, you have some good looking Brugs there, I am glad you decided too join us
Dee, Thank you, for the nice comments
Debra, here is my Princess in the bag, that Girl is so funny

there's a saying Dogs have a master, Cats have a staff, post photo's of your Babies

Elizabeth

With so many cat people here:

Oh, Oh, I must share this-

wife to her husband: Honey I saw a cat that I really want to adopt.
Husband's response: No, that just wouldn't work.
wife: Why? What's wrong with getting a cat? I love cats.
Hubby: Well, back in ancient times people used to worship them.
wife: OK, so why does that matter to us now?
Hubby: Well, People may no longer worship them, But the cats have not forgotten!

Sheri LOL that was cute. Ken love horses, but just plain afraid of them. ( I got bucked off one in the middle of a parade when I was 15)
Elizabeth your cats are so CUTE! Dee, you really are making me try to remember, aren't you? ( I have a problem remembering what I send to people cuz I am just so focused on getting things packed)
Kim those pictures are awesome. I just love the flowers when they about to bloom. Milk n Honey is about to tonight, Maya is still oh so loaded, and Flamenco is in the corner here with her beautiful bloom.
Retta, I am so glad you came here, please be safe thru your weather there, I know how it feels to have your plants blown around, it isn't a good feeling. next year I am putting metal rods thru the pots to hold them down. Tonight I went down the the basement Garden at 8 pm, and came up at 11 pm. sheesh! I could stay down there all night, snipping and plucking and making cuttings and well you know, Gardening.

This weekend I am getting three peoples cuttings together, and retta, after I get everyones trades done, I will send you some rooted brugs.
Dee, I have to go look at the picture to see what plant you are talking about..

Well, pooie, I can't see which plant you are talking about.. LOL and I forgot to post Elizabeths CG..

Okay, those are tropical milk weed plants .. I think I sent you some seeds of that too.. great for butterflys. I hope I sent you some Salvias.. the big ones.
Forgot to say OMG that night blooming cerus is making my mouth drop.
also forgot to say Hay.. Charlie, I miss you! Charleen, those little red mgs you sent me seeds of are still blooming, and now they are inside in the vine area.. love them they are so cute!

this is to ev1,well we did survive the high winds yest.without any real damage.
thank the good lord for that.
did you all see the trucks turned over on the news .(nebraska)
yep we all have some mighty good and wonderful pets.

hi kim,welcome to this thread,was wondering where you were.

hope ev1 is alright after the storm,with out damages.

Debra and Dee,Took this ,this morning and thought of you two. Tuberose is blooming and is beautiful. I got a good pic with a green backdrop so you can count the petals ☺☺ We got a nice rain last night after severe storm warnings all day. Love it to rain at night. Charley sends nuzzles , soft and warm, to everyone of his friends. He is a mudball today. He love to roll and he doesn't care wheter it is wet or dry. And the donkeys are usally helping him out by doing it too. That how I know we got sandy soil, they have a beach area out there in one spot. You all have great days.

Ken, are those your horses in the photo? They are beautiful!
Elizabeth, the pics of Princess in a bag are priceless.. sooooo cute!
Sheri, cute joke.Cats are rather independent, aren't they..lol
Debrah, you did send me some tropical milkweed seeds too. I'm telling you girl, that box of goodies that you sent to me was bodatious! All of us know what work it is to dig, wrap, label and pack a box, and I appreciate all the work that you are putting into it. I know you share with several people, and the way you pack a box is no small job! Thank you so much, for everything. Beautiful hibiscus pic!
Retta, glad to hear you made it thru the storm with no damage.Rain is good...heavy storms are not!
Charleen, beautiful tuberose pic.I can almost smell it from here.You need to take a pic of Charlie and the girls rolling in the mud for us one of these days. I can just imagine them having a good ole time.
Here's a pic of one of my fur babies.She is 11pounds of spoiled silly.
Dee

Good afternoon
Ken your horses are Beautiful, I love Horses, & plan too make money next Friday & Saturday, it's Breeder Cup Yippee, it's nothing for a Horse at 90 to 1 too win. this is my time of year, they expanded Breeder's cup too 2 days, so if you hear me yell all the way from Ohio, you know I have a winning ticket
Sheri that joke is adorable, I loe my Cats
Dee, your Box just arrived, Girl you're good at packing, Thank you for the nice comments, yes I love princess, that girl is a nut
Charlene, I know how much you Love your Donkey's & esp. Charley, he's a handsome fellow, he looks like a throughBred by his color
Debra, beautiful Photo's as usual, you can see by your plants, how much time you spend with them
Elizabeth

That boy can travel too. Yep, sure his mom must have been a Tenn. Walker, that is where he came from. Tnn. Love my baby.
Here is a raggedy looking Xena, don't you love the color and I thought a nice picture. Even in a battered condition they still look great!!!!
Charleen

Charlene
it's a Beautiful Bloom, Yes I love the color, it's a great photo

Elizabeth

thank you Elizabeth and I forgot to tell Dee her furbaby is sooooocute.
Charleen

Elizabeth, glad you got your box today. I didn't get mine yet, but I'm sure it will be here tomorrow.I'll be listening for your winning, hootin' and hollerin', on Fri. and Sat.And your husband's cussin', wondering how you always win, and he doesn't ..lol
Charleen, that is a very pretty bloom.Thank's for your comment about Baby.She is my little rotten sweety...sleeps beside me everynight.That pic was taken last winter, and she hated that sweater, and never wore it one time, but I had to take her pic in it.lol
Dee

Did she pout at you?Dee. They can pout something awful sometime. My poor little lucky dog doesn't like a leash but when I take him out, he runs off.
He wants to be a daddy. I don't want any grandpuppies. But sure do love him. I'm afraid he will be hurt. He is a cute little Boston Terrier. 10 yrs. old
He is a sweet gentle baby.
Charleen

Oh..she pouts all the time....but mostly when she doesn't get a few bites of sausage for breakfast...lol Lucky looks like a great dog...very calm. One of my son in laws has an old Boston, named babygirl..She has one blue eye and one brown, and you can never tell if she is looking at you or not. I'm telling you, she is the homelyest dog that I have ever seen, but she is soooo sweet, and they just love her to pieces. Your Lucky is a handsome feller.
Dee

but now Dee, here is my brat! Another dog. This is Radar O'Reilly.
Isn't this pitiful???
Charleen

No Charleen, that is not pitiful...that is PRECIOUS..How cute...looks like a very happy pup!
Dee

But Dee, he is so silly. When I have company, he doesn'r stop barking til they leave. He will not let anyone pet him either. He is a little psyco, Lucky loves everyone. So does Lucas, Now Missy, is aloaf, I wouldn't trust her very much but Poor little Radar is a nut.
Charleen

Charlene & Dee
I have been busy repotting my Big Brugs, that I took in, the fur babies are adorable, they do make life interesting don't they, if I get done with rearranging the basement
in a week I will be a Miracle worker, I need 2 more big bags of potting soil, I will get those in the next couple days, I did get the rest of the Brugs in from the GH today
it's suppose too Frost tonight, you can feel the cold in the air, Oh they did come too measure for the 2 windows on the back porch, it is a 5 week wait for them too custom make them, by that time, I'll have the down payment for 4 windows, then I will have only have 3 left, then I'll be done with the whole House, Yippee, Thank goodness most of my Christmas is done

Elizabeth

Oh those dogs are sooooo cute! I LOVE dogs. and cats. and the birds, and well LOL
I am glad you are getting your windows done, Elizabeth.. you inspire me. Charleen, I always wanted a boston terrior, maybe someday..Radars' grin made me chuckle out loud he looks so happy..
I came home to a nice surprise after a hard day at work.. a Fydek Alocaisia? a varigated pink bower vine, persian shield and some dutchmans pipevine nite blooming cactus? I was so happy I immediately dumped out pots holding annuals and potted things up LOL.. love to get things that I have never seen grow. Dee, the service berry cuttings have little buds and baby roots now ..
sure wish we would have a storm now..
here is Cassies Curls tonight..

Love the color of that one Debra.
Thanks
Charleen

Elizabeth,is I know you, you will have that basement looking spiffy in no time.Sounds like you will have all your new windows in, before this winters ober...yeahhhhhhh.
Deb, sounds like you got some great new plants.I love my variegated bower vine.I got mine on clearance last fall, and it stayed puney looking all winter, but when I put it out this past Spring it took off like gang busters and bloomed off and on all summer.I brought it into the plant room and it is still sending out new tendrils.I have grown persian shield, but never had dutchman's pipe.But, I really think they have a cool bloom!
Glad to hear that the service berry cuttings are taking, for you.They weren't the best looking cuttings, when I sent them. My serviceberry looked like it was stressing out, before I took them.I did transplant it from the other house, so I'm hoping it looks better, next year.
Dee

Forgot to say that I love, love, love Cassie's Curls.Beautiful color!
Morning Charleen.
Dee

charleen,do u have to dig tuberose,every year?
love it .

the furkids are so cute,i know i love mine.
i can hardly wait for my plants to get here.
i want to start growing.
i like to grow plants i never had before to.
i like growing cane begonias but not the rexs.to fussy.
and they bloom this time of year but no perfume;(
i did cut an iris that was is blooming now so i could enjoy inside,before it freezes.
that is one strange one,but some do.
i don't have that many plants,as the room is limited,inside and out.
sure sorry i did not buy a house with a yard when i moved back here.

Where are you going to put all your plants? I have it in a pot and will just bring it into the house. What is a CaneBegonia? I have a begonia and it has little red blooms,it blooms bout year round. It is in kitchen.
Charleen

Morning Retta,I love cane begonias, but don't have any.I only have a couple red dragon wings. They are sooooo easy to grow.
Dee

this is a cane begonia.the biggest one i have,will take cutting
this early spring when it stops blooming and if u all want one i can send a few at a time.
they are easy to grow.let me know if u do.

going to put them in my sewing room for the winter and them out in the yard.
it is going to be fun.

going to look up dragon wing,never heard of that one.
most of mine are small (yet,and they sit in the kitchen window)
hope to add more as time and money goes on.

Debra, Cassie's Curls, is just Beautiful, I love the color
Charlene, Hope you're having a wonderful day
Dee, it is taking me longer too get the basement in shape, I keep running out of Potting soil, that's what I get by having so many plants
Retta, that Begonia is Beautiful, they are easy too grow, I used too have them, they also get very tall don't they, it looks really good where you have it

Elizabeth

Been putting potted brugs in gh.
Know frost is getting closer with each day. Was cool this morning.
Charleen

Charlene
I emptied out the GH, they are now in the basement, everywhere, I need too go down there, too make room, it was cold this morning, it still a little bit chilly, but in the sun it's warm, if I leave plants in the GH at 28 degrees, they get Frost tipped really Bad, last year it was the week of Thanksgiving, I had a bunch,in the GH, they looked so bad, it took awhile for them too come out of it, the good thing for the trick or treaters, it will be 65 degrees

Elizabeth

That Cane Begonia is awesome!
I'm bringing things in also.
My legs are so sore though from my new very active schedule. Physical therapy, Chiropractor, Fibro pool therapy and helping to paint, etc our new church and move in...Whew...I feel like going back to bed, but too much to do ^_^

Sheri
sounds like you're really busy, it's always busy at the First & the last of the growing season, but I did myself a favor this year, I donated some Huge plants too make room for the Brugs, Pace yourself you get more done, it's always easier for me when I do that, we do Love our plants, don't we?

Elizabeth

that is what i did,donated most of house plants to my son,lol
the babies have arrived,and for now ,they are nestled
together in a jar of water.
these are from kim,in penns.
since i have never raised these,i suppose i can either rootthem in water and then
pot them up in 5 in pots and then graduate them to bigger pots as needed?
as promised here they are ;););)

Looking good : ) Retta what size pot is the rooted one in?
