SO pretty Sally! Such a serene pic!

Lubbock, TX(Zone 7a)

I hesitated to mention this but....
After I read your post Lin about liking my 'blushing' orchid, I went to that pic and enlarged it. I hadn't noticed it before but... I took the pic of the orchid facing my china hutch. In the pic it looks like there's someone standing at the window- this is reflecting in the glass on the hutch. Someone with dark hair or a dark hat on and wearing a red bandana around their neck. There is a car behind this peson- looks like from the 50's and someone is sitting at the wheel. I was here by myself when I took this and there is lawn where the car is sitting. I showed my husband and we tried to 'de-bunk' the pic but can't figure it out for the life of us. The original pic on my computer is the same way......Kinda gives me the creeps...weird. We even looked at it with a magnifying glass.

OMG Diane, I see the man!
You don't have a picture like that on the wall or anything?
That is SOOOO spooky!
Can you get it any bigger/clearer on your monitor?
I think they call that an apparition right?
How neat! (but scary too)....made the hairs on my arms stand up.
But I see him and I think I see the car. Is the car white?

The car looks like a light color, not sure. But I enlarged the original pic on my computer. That's the one we were looking at with the magnifying glass. My daughter says it looks like the man in the car is wearing a yellow shirt. I quit lookingas it kind of scared me. No, no pictures like that anywhere. As you can probably tell, my dining room ( and pretty much my whole house) is kinda 'prissy'! LOL That just would Not fit in with the decor! I don't know what you'd call whatever that is, but I've always said I don't believe in ghosts but believe there are spirits....I don't know what this would be. Keep thinking there's a logical explanation.

That is really creepy, Diane!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's just say there has to be a logical explanation for it!!!!!!!!!

I love Turk's Cap, Sally! It really does well down here, doesn't it.

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I have worked my 'booty' off today getting plants ready for the Mother's Day Sale and I need a break.

I will share some of the pics I took in Seguin of Green Gate Nursery as there aren't too many. March was the month I should have gone. Everything not chained to iron has been bought, but she still has a wonderful nursery.

Should have gone to the begonia forum first as this is my all time favorite begonia. I had a start of her and she died. This entire big pot was filled with her. Begoniacrazii, where are you? (LOL)

****PS remember I had my camera set on action rather than automatic...........I didn't know any better until my daughter told me

The nursery never marks the 'kind' or 'cultivar' of anything, but this is a nice columnea.

This particular epi was not for sale. I am sure she will start more cuttings from the last of these plants.

I love Rangoon Creeper in a hanging basket but they were sold out and these were on a trellis.

Ever since I saw Lin's basket of red mandevillea I have wanted some for a basket........got three of these to make one.

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

She had lots of kinds of streptocarpella (purple on the right)

She has the most cultivars of begonias early in the spring or late October. They are all magnificently grown.

There were wonderful episcias. I got 4 of them for the MOther's Day Sale to gussie up as they were only 3.00 each and some had stolons.

That is a wonderful no name african violet you found. Don't you feel lucky when you can find a really good one?

I don't want to hog the pictures.....if anyone has pics to post, please holler at me!
They always carry so many kinds of hanging basket ferns.

There are so many different kinds of philos............Lin, I can't remember the yellow one you and I have..........something Morning or Morning something?

I love all your pictures, gessiegail!

Yes, it's nice to rescue . . . this one looked a bit sad, and although I wasn't interested in AV's at that point, I just had to rescue it. I have now got a rescue from Home Depot (taking longer to recover - cut off all the blooms in the hopes it would help), and just this ;past week received my first mini-av order.

I don't know if Lin is here but I think it's Moonlight. I'm just enjoying the show!
Continue on please.....

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I wanted this soooo badly but I was traveling and didn't know if I could safely get her home 4 days later. Does anyone know her name? I have never seen the foliage on an epi that is so pink.

Diane.........you are right....Morning Light.....smarty pants.......thanks
S.......(I can't remember that long user ID) that plant looks healthy that you just posted....good going

They also carry many kinds of rubber plants and I am noticing that they seem to be a lot hardier than I thought.

having to shoot the pics straight into the sky above...........This is Catalina begonia. We used to grow this one when I worked in a greenhouse.

She always grows tables of hoyas and different ones each year I think.

The hanging baskets are always so well priced......12.50 for these giant baskets of just about everything that will go into a basket.

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I am sure there are customers wanting begonias this big and she has plenty of them.

Thumbnail by gessiegail

Lots of kinds of crotons .

I simply marvel at the plants she puts in containers and baskets. This is the biggest pot of pilea I have ever seen for 9.95.
