OK..inside now..forget all that nice outside stuff.. bloom

well... Bell of Clearadron I think she was.. never looked so good.. maybe 500 buds and flowers a dozen at a time... although you have to hunt through the heavy intertwined limbs and leaves... to find them... such a mat...I'd like to try and overwinter outside... mulched or something... but in the containers freeze soild through and through....
so I bring her in and ask her to grow and flower inside in the hallway....got a few faux window treatments this year I'm woking on.. there.. Such a shock for her.. Gordon

glad to see you are home. Was worried when I hadn't heard anymore from you

Donna...well I was touring some..I elected to have an outside shop do the work..as it seemed much less than having the engine rebuilt at the dealer... but as it turns out... just slighty less ... butthen too the dealer didn't have the oppertunity for the add on's either.. so they are working on it now...and it will beready soon ...so I'm about to turn around and head back to the south coast to retrieve it.. and another stop back at mothers..maybe see some of the delta relatives this time through... I had to return for the roofplants [ and to turn on the buildings heat ]... I finally got them in and turned on the band a new light set up..lots of tracks..some 15 ft of track between two lights... and a statonary light also..so we've better coverage now...got maybe 6 different brugsblooming tonight ...
Thanks for your hospatality on my way through before.. your pile of cuttings and plants made it just fine... as I'd rented acar and off loaded them from the garage first thing and headed back... oh.. I did loose the bat faced one.. it's small pot and the car heat did it in.. mother is tickled with hers.. Thanks for it all... Gordon
I hope ya'll are doing well.. and the tests were helpful to them..may your wonderful nature compound continue to flourish so... Loved it to be sure... Gordon
