Giving it a try on the throat Pic "BlackJack"

I was suprised today with this bloom. I thought I'd give the close-up a try.

The rest of the story......

Love it!! I so wish my little Black Jack had not been DOA last year :-(

Beautiful. I can't believe how much I'm liking the browns. Very nice.

awesome pic!!! One I don't have.

I'm a sucker for browns!

OK That's it...
I've had it.

Time for a SWAT team, pruning shears in hand, midnight raid to good old Nederland.
If we round up thirty or so of us and rent a bus, we can be Lone Starring it by Wednesday.

Same rules as last time, climb the fence, prune the plants, bag the booty and be back on the bus for schnapps and sandwiches before dawn...

All in favor...say oh yeah!!!

LOL!!!!!

OH YEAH, you head in from Florida and I'll launch the assault from So Cal...we'll be like Hibiscus Kamikazes ;-)

Weeeee! Can I wear a ninja outfit??? With a party hat, of course ;-)

You know this just sounds too fun. Can I help? I know exactly where it is and I think I can get a key so we can sneak in through the gate. It would probably be less painfull for us all ;-)

Actually, you can avoid all of this if you're prepared to make goody bags for about 100 of the severely addicted...

Your collection is truly lovely. Enjoy!
