Here is a pic of what I have tonight. I am leaving Thursday morning (is already that for some of you) and won't be back until Sunday, late afternoon, or evening. I know these must be getting ready to do their show. From what I have seen from posts, they bloom for a little while, don't they? So I won't miss it?
Oh - these things are just driving me crazy with anticipation! (These are the Isabella X)

They're probably not going to bloom before you get home -- have a good trip :)
LOL I know what you are feeling Karrie!! I have one ready to POP, I think it will wait for you, only because mine took several days till I seen the "whiskers" pop out, and now it is still about 6 days later and it is 10 inches long, but still not open!! Hope an expert will come along to let you know their experiences!!

Karrie, you wont miss the blooms. Have a nice trip!
Thanks all! I'm in the hotel room - we have high speed internet here, so catching up "a little" - can't stay long - that would annoy DH!
Karrie
Hey Karrie! I'm off work at 4:00 today instead of 5:00, so I'll be at 'the Pub' by 5:00 I'd guess. Can't wait to meet you......I have a nice belated Birthday present for you. :-)
See you in a bit.
Marc

see you in a few! That place us about a block from here.
Great!
Hee hee hee, hours later -
WOW! those birthday flowers were so beautiful! Marc, I am so lucky to have been able to meet you. Russ liked you too! It was a great evening for us, hopefully you too. We were going to keep your credit card and get ahold of you via daves, but you called them so that was kewl (we were afraid you might not realize soon enough, and didn't want it floating in a bar). Glad that all worked out!
Hope that retirement party was fun, ha ha, and they bored you more than we did, :-)
Sorry Sue Wa ya missed it. It was fun. More planning for the next one ok? We'll definitely have to do this again.
Karrie
Waiting for the bloom.
Karrie I had a blast meeting you and Russ. You two are very very nice people.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Birthday flowers. Hope some of the seeds I brought will go to good use in your garden. I know the ones you brought me certainly will add to my garden beautifully.
Loved the Salsa! It was wonderful on my eggs and hashbrowns this morning. :-)
Thanks again for holding my credit card for me till I got back to retrieve it.......I was so excited by the great iris you broght me I completely forgot to close out my tab.
I hope we can get together again one of these days. Maybe on your side of the state next time......we love our road trips, so just might turn up one of these weekends. :-)
Have a safe trip back home....and please post pix of your blooms when they open.
Back home! Will post these for you here, but also on the Round-Up forum! It was so nice meeting you as well Marc! You are such a sweetheart!

Here's a pic Russ took of Marc & Myself
Here's a pic of the lovely flowers Marc (Rikerbear) gave me from his garden, for my birthday.
Oh yeah! I got home and the buds were much longer, but not showing any whiskers yet! *sigh*
Glad your flowers did not open without you Karrie! Looks like you guys had a great time. Rikerbear looks way to young to retire!
Kell, indeed he does! but I think he has been working it long enough and has things he'd like to do, and can, so good for him! :-)
I say we should all retire at 50 so we are young enough to do all the things we have put off!
MOST DEFINITELY! :-) (um - that means I have 11 more years - I turned 39 last Thursday) But, "achem", Russ just turned 50 so since he qualifies, can I go with him????????
Oh it wasn't MY retirement party....sad to say. I am far to poor to retire :(
It was a party for one of my partner's co-workers......
Shoot Karrie if it had been my retirment party I would have drug you and Russ along. You two were by far more fun than anyone at the party. LOL

Beautiful picture and beautiful flowers. Please post the pictures of the flowers of your plant too.
what plant are you talking about Kaleem?
Your Brug Karrie.....................
The pic of my brug is at the top of this thread. It hasn't changed enough to take another pic yet. No whiskers yet, no blooms, just buds. If it does bloom I will post it! :-)
rikerbear
You are very sharp.

Okay,
:-) Thank you kaleem.....I just have a good grasp of the obvious :-)
hee hee, yes he does, I just wasn't sure why he wanted another pic of my buds.
