Aloha. Three days of tropical storms has made everything grow like crazy. This is my latest baby, Desiree. I have waited almost a year for this one and battled spider mite almost continually - It's been worth it though!

Oh, I hate to see anyone have to live in such a horrid place! Perhaps you should cut all those awful flowers down and put in some nice concrete walls or something...

The scent from those brugs must be wonderful! But what is that white flower with the red bracks? It looks beautiful.

The white is a 'bleeding heart' I think, a variety of clerodendrum. It's a lovely climbing shrub.

I agree, those brugs are something!!

Desoto, TX(Zone 8a)

Oh, Jenny. What beauty. I can imagine the aroma is wonderful as well. I have a little bitty bleeding heart in my master bathroom trying to keep it alive for the winter. Have never seen one with so many blooms. Can hardly wait.

Well DUH! If I had stopped staring at the flower long enough I would have seen it is marked right there on the picture!

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

My Goodness,how much fertilizer nutrients,came with that rain,just breathtaking.

Baytown, TX(Zone 9a)

Oh Jenny, those are Lovely!!!! Just beautiful! Truly a paradise!!!!!!!!!

Hillsborough , NC(Zone 7a)

It really is astounding the difference rain makes, that and our nights are now much cooler (in the 70's). Hoping to make lots of growth on the brugs this winter so I will have plenty of cuttings to send out.

Kilikina, the bleeding heart can really get out of hand here according to my gardening bible. Sends out suckers easily, I will have to place it very carefully in the garden - it's too pretty to become a noxious weed - I've got enough of those already.

If you listen carefully you can hear the weeds growing...dashed outside during a break in the rain today and found the whole garden covered in tomato plants.

Later, got to get that chicken out of the oven....

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

People on the mainland,have chicken coops,but I see letting them stay in the oven,makes it a lot easier than having to chase them down!!!!LOL!
Stay out of the rain,sweet people tend to melt!!!!
Let me know if those weeds start making to much noise,I have an extra pair of ear plugs in my tool box! LOL Should have been a comedian!!!

Baytown, TX(Zone 9a)

TM, hahahahaha, very funny! Yes, you should have been a comedian!!!!! LOL!

I'm sure she met to eat for dinner! LOL!!!!!! hahaha

That brought memories as wee lad,helping grandpa pick out and chase the chicken down,and see him taking the axe to his neck,but the worse was plucking out those feathers before Grandma put her in that pot of boiling water!!!

Baytown, TX(Zone 9a)

Yeah, Chrissy was speaking about being a vegetarian for that very reason.....of seeing animals slaughtered and in a butcher's van as a child. It is very traumatic for a child to see things like that.

I wouldn't do very well on a farm. While we did live out in the country for a short period of time we were made to stay inside while Grandma was killing the chicken.
I have seen a deer skinned and cleaned, and that about made me sick. I personally prefer to go to the grocery store!!!!!!!!!

Hillsborough , NC(Zone 7a)

Doesn't everyone keep their chickens in the oven and their pigs in the frige? Live and learn!

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

Naw!!!
Were pretty modern here in Kansas,we either salt them down,or hangin in the smoke
house ,it all depends on how fast we want to eat!!!!LOL
Unless it's been a hard snowy and cold winter,then we just lead them into the ice house,and wait a day or two!!!LOL

Hillsborough , NC(Zone 7a)

LOL! We seem to be much more behind the times!

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

Baytown, TX(Zone 9a)

Hmmm, I always kept my three little piggies in the house for fear the social service folk would take them lil darlin's away from me if I locked them out...

Hillsborough , NC(Zone 7a)

Outhouse??? What's that???
Wahini don't use fig leaves - we use the coconut shells for modesty sake when the boat comes in!
Oh boy! Christi's going to be in for a shock!

Hillsborough , NC(Zone 7a)

Aha! The plot thickens! You take care of those piggies, Zany, them's valuble! See, keeping them in the refrigerator isn't so silly...

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

Zamy.last week the courts tried to take a baby wallabye from a guy here in town,but he got a petition signed by over 16,000 people and they let it stayed but wouldn't allow anymore!!!

But keeping the pigs in the house is a good idea,because a wolf might see them and huff and puff blow ye house down!!!!LOL
