blooming today ...
'Isabella'
Hmmmm. Isabella is a lot cuter than I thought:)
Enjoy!!!
This is a beauty - I will have several blooms on mine next week!!
Is that a real duck in the background Azalea?? great flower. Mine has not bloomed yet and probably won't because tiG sent me a trick one.
It's beautiful! I just got a cutting from Calalily today and it was in it's new pot within 15 minutes of being delivered, LOL. This is what I have to look forward to and I can hardly wait, LOL but will have to.

Duck???? I didn't post this pic!! It was Abutilon, Kell, you really should get more rest!! Lol!
the 6 tendril flowers are so full and pretty.
Well, that may be Azalea but you do see a duck don't you?? God I hope so!! LOL Am I the only one?
I had to study this again - I did find the duck this time, at first I thought you meant the "dove" in the air on the top left of the bloom!!
Looks more like a goose to me. Maybe one of those you dress up. Kinda looks like it's wearing a jacket or something?
LOl - you are right Celia, it is a goose!!
Thank god!!! I was getting scared so now we all just know that I do not know the difference between a duck and a goose and a live one and a cement one...........I can live with that!
You gals are killing me! LOL
I am away for a day and back to find you discussing my goose.
Yes, a cement goose. But the naked type ..no clothes.
Though I do have real chickens. LOL
Gee I have real geese and a cement chicken...and he's naked too...I could put feathers on him from my live chikens
CC, you jest.......they don't have cement chickens.................. for we eat them!! Who would want a cement one??
How was the sushi Kell?
I have a cement chicken...as a matter of fact I bought it in Georgia.....for some reason he won't breed....or crow,or eat.he's my favorite.....he needs some clothes though.
Hi Liz...........It was very good! We always have a fun time. Laugh a lot. I took a nap soon after my return and now I am up reading about cement chickens and wondering why I do not have one myself!!!
I have two little cement ducks. (naked too)
poor me, I am cement chicken LESS..........naked or not!!
I don't have a goose or a chicken either!
me either!!!
I have 1 cement goose, duck, and chicken. au natural types. No clothes ;-)
And about 2 dozen real chickens. Also, no clothes.
'Ra' is king.
My yougest daughter has one of the little black cochin hens as part of her
act with the Renaissance Festival here. Chicken's name since a peep is 'Isabella Black'.
LOL
This is getting out of hand ...
Abutilon,what kind of chickens do you have?Just Cochins?I have some large fowl cochins,I don't show them...but I love them,they are so tame!
I would love to have a fancy chicken or 2........the kind I saw at the 4H fair............... but my cats would kill it I think!
Kell,I have cats..they don't kill the chickens
If you ever want any let me know,and if you know someone with an incubator I can send you eggs so you can hatch them.
But they don't come in PINK
I had a pink chicken once!! And a green one and a yellow one, a blue one and a black one!! I was 5, I think there were six chicks but I don't remember the othter color. It was Easter. My Mom & I went to visit my Grandma for the week-end. Daddy fell asleep, let the fire go out and they all died but the little black one. This one followed me around for a few weeks like a puppy. Then one day I was picking dandilions, I sat down backwards and squashed him!! I remember putting him in a small box and having a funeral for him under a Mulberry tree. It was traumatic.
I'm so sorry Azalea.....its so sad......

That would have been pretty bad TIg, that was my first and only pet for several years.
oh, hugs doll!!!! that's why I didn't post it the first time, and then got silly. sorry :(
Lol - Don't worry about it - I'm a big girl now!!
I had a pink peep, too. Supped to be a hen so I named Rosey.
When Rosey became a rooster my uncle cooked her/him ))o;
No dinner for me that Sunday.
I have several varieties of cochins, barred rocks, rhode island reds.
And Ra ..he's a rock x cornish. A gentle rooster. Very cool bird (o:
Whatever happened to 'Isabella' at this thread? LOL

Oh my God Azalea.....that is a sad sad story!! I had a rooster also when I was young. As I recall my sister hatched them from a home made incubator. 1 hatched. It was the love of my life and since I was the only one that loved animals it was mine. I named him Baby and he followed me everywhere. Every morning at the crack of dawn he would do his thing. Then when I went away to prep school, my little brother wrote me letter saying they had brought baby to a farm where he would be the No. 1 rooster and have a great life. I cried and cried.
CC, you are so sweet.........but from NY to California don't you think they would be scrambled eggs??
Funny, I was just out and about the neighborhood taking pictures of great flora.........and one brug house had a chicken wire cage around a trunk of a tree, maybe 6 feet diameter..........with 2 chickens in it.
Well, I guess alot of us have sad memories of things in our childhood - I have some other stories I won't bire you wit - they are best forgotten anyway!! Sorry for you and Abutilon too.
Funny about the cage!!
Esp. since NO ONE has chicknes around here! Here I was talking about them and then go out and see pet ones. Probably 1st live ones I have seen in 5 years!
