More birdhouses
Karlae & DH....thank you both for helping me get a good start on getting back my hoya collection.
Cannagirl, thanks so much for the apple blossom amaryllis and brug. That amaryllis took my breath away! I think you gave me something else can't remember. I wish I had gotten there before you left so I could meet you. I'll try to get there earlier next year.
Mary Lee
Look at this beautiful gourd someone grew & decorated.
Our youngest DG'er :) Such a little trooper.....I think this little one was enjoying the RU as much as her Mom.
My buddie....Smockett. I love her bubbly personality.
Thanks to the rest of you also for all the awesome plants. I finally finished the list about 30minutes ago. What a list! I didn't take as much as I brought home. I am embarrassed. I am going to start some more scutteleria long. cuttings soon and see if I can get them to actually grow this time. If anybody's done this, please let me know how you did it.
I have 2 questions though - atleast for now only 2. One tag said Herbertia something. I can't make out the second word. And somebody gave me some kind of ginger which I can remember asking for, but I can't remember what kind it is. I hope this cold air tonight doesn't damage anything.
oops....forgot to send pic.
Another young DG'er....what a cutie.
This is a nut :) Mammajack/Barbara, the one covering her face with the cap....She keeps me laughing with her emails several times a week. A real treasure to know.
DG'er at the RU that I enjoyed talking with. Trois enjoy's attending the CSRU and reading all post on DG.
Thanks Mary Lee for the ID.

That's Trois.
Silverflutter/Mary Lee your welcome. Glad you liked the Apple Blossom. I think we've met at last years CSRU.....just can't put a face with your name. Looking forward to meeting you at the next RU.
Here's a photo of Mary Lee's Amaryllis
Well, I wish I could remember you.:) BTW do you plant that amaryllis in the ground where you are or does it need to go in the gh for winter? And can it really take full sun in Tx?
I'm in zone 8 near Gulf Coast....I keep in ground year round....grow in filtered shade.

Kim, our Hostess for the CSRU.....Kim is a wonderful coordinator for our CSRU. Everything just comes together 100% perfect with her assistance in putting together this RU. Another wonderful person.
Thanks Kim for that nice hoya collection you gave me!
AuntAnne, thanks for sharing the Variegated Turk's Cap & other plants. It was really nice to meet you.
Lol, a little DG'er spotted Mary Lee's Apple Blossom :)
Patrob, loved our trade!!! Thank you for sharing.
I don't blame her for staring. I did too.!:)
Smock had some nice squirrel feeders on hand....I want to trade for one next year :) I'm putting in my order now.
Trish Ann, please post photo of Smock's feeders he made....I didn't get to take a picture.
Lol Mary Lee....you wouldn't believe the DG's that wanted your Apple Blossom :) Trish Ann had plans for it if you didn't show up :)
Checking out trade list?
Some serious plant talk :)
Another fun person to know....Sylvia on right with DG'er friend
Kim with her Mom & Dad.
Kim's Mother gave me some School House Lilies and I'd like to thank her for sharing....can't wait to see them bloom!
A wonderful lady, new to DG, who had lots of plants to share with DG'ers. I think her name is Sharon....if I'm wrong please correct me. Welcome to the RU Sharon!
Having fun....Look at those pretty flowers!
I was tired, exhausted, about to fall asleep :) But a CSRU addict. The night before the RU, I worked at my ex-sister-in-laws business, Celebrations, helping her out for a school prom until 1:00 in the morning, home at 1:30, on the road to Trish Ann's by 3:30, arrived in Tx. at 6:30....I got to sleep for a couple of hours then we were off for the CSRU, arriving around 9:00....You can tell I'm a CSRU addict!! I come every year, sometimes twice a year for this RU. I love the people, my trades, the way the RU is run.....it's just a fun day that I enjoy and would hate to miss out on.
I had to leave early from the RU as my ex-sis needed me back home for another school prom Saturday night.....I have no sense of direction and needless to say ended up getting lost for over an hour in and around College Station...I finally found the Hwy. I needed and arrived home one hour before I needed to be back at Celebrations for another school prom.
I made the Saturday night prom......just barley made it home on time :) for this prom.
Got to say, no matter how tired I was, it was worth every minute...had a blast with all of you! Thanks for another great RU!
One question...Where is Dave? Missed him the last two RU's. Kim & whoever I gave the Canna Banana's to.....this come from the Canna Banana Dave gave me a couple of years ago....Enjoyed passing it on.
Photo of Canna Banana Dave gave me.
