Becky you are a professional! You should be proud of yourself Lady! That is one gorgeous rose and MG! You sure know what your doing now! Yay!!!
She's About To..........#15
Hey Hotties!! so sorry about your Mom Becky. Prayers and hugs are in order! Those pics are fabulous!!! I have to go back and read about the swap meet : )
That might be hard for some people if they are out. I know for me, if it is sunny, I'll be boating, lol. WOW Beckie you are becoming an expert, I agree Aunt B
wew took some reading but I caught up! Becky so very sorry about your Mom. I have been through all of that with my Father, so great big hugs. Not sure I have much to mail, I plan on hauling all my stuff to the round up. Cuttings seeds plants and all. I am hoping it will all get scooped up!
I have some things I can share, even with the RU I should have plenty. Sunday at 2:00 is fine with me also. Becky dear, I sure hate it about your momma.....bless her heart. But you are right, it is a blessing she doesn't know...AND a blessing that she has you for the wonderful daughter you are. She raised a wonderful woman and I'm proud to call you my friend. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Aw come on Clemen! You know you'd rather be trading plants than boating, huh? LOL!
Ty..everyone..
Bonnie.. I just looked around..LOL I bet my cell is dead somewhere.. I am soo bad.. I didn't hear it ring... ohhh I'd LUV to talk to you!! Ok.. I got up looking for the blankety thing... I was charging it and I guess it was turned off cause it was dead before I charged it..lol Got your message Bonnie.. you are sooo sweet!! TY soo much!!
All you hotties... after the Hurricane.. Gustav.. Bonnie and I exchanged phone #... I really think it's agreat idea for us to let some others know our #.. you never know when it might come in handy.. and like today.. just hearing Bonnies voice cheered me up considerably!!
Sounds good on the trades.. that way we would have time to prepare.. (what's that?).. and give every one a chance to put an "order "in
Ok girlies.. one more pic.. this is my baby just about to.. I don't know WHEN she's about to.. but..LOL as you can see the bud is almost as big as she is... there's the other 2 buds kinda hiding on the far left
BECKIE, that bruggie looks healthy and beautiful! Hi Louise, need your addy for the paella magic stuff.
KAREN, YES I'll rather be trading babies, BUT I do not want a divorce either, lol, i have a jealous DH, jealous of all of you, I spent more time with you guys than him at night!
LOL lurker out of hiding already! I'm 2 days behind on this thread and no way to catch up. I have seen more beautiful blooms, scenery, pretty AuntB.,(and AuntB, look in the mirror, please do not complain about that pretty face.) and a fountain and have enjoyed so many bits and pieces of conversations...Wish I could call each of you by name but I couldn't do that if I were in the room with you and had seen you twice. Old age and older memory. All this to say again, I wish I could meet you all just to tell you how special I think you are. Update on DH. He is not in pain, doing great and even walking the dogs. See you soon!
OH! And I finally have a bloom. Only mine isn't showing a Hummer.
Hi Faye that is fantastic news about your DH!!!
Faye so happy about your hubby! He is a fast healer! Clemen, thank you so much, dmailed my addy. Becky your pics ROCK! That little brug looks like it is having a banana, the flower is so big!
LOL! having a banana : ) Is that a Hyacinth bean vine Faye??
Faye and what is the little vine on the trellis on the right?
Faye I'm so happy to hear the good news about your DH..Kim, that is a purple Hyacinth Vine...I have one too and they are so pretty in person, my flowers are almost irredescent
So on my list for next year : )
The vine on the right is a pyracantha(cannot spell it) anyway, has white blooms then red berries & thornes and is beautiful in late fall and winter. I will have plenty Hyacinth Bean seeds and will send to anyone who wants them.
Good evening ladies and lurkers! It's BB10 night, but I'll try to visit after that... late getting home, but I did get a couple unfurling bud pics... Cupids Blush and Pink Beauty... smells like heaven out there! Wait for me so I don't have to spend an hour catching up... please? LOL have fun..
Oh my, then please put me down for any extra plumies, and or butterfly bush, and or anything else you all may have extra of. I will gladly send postage first if you need.
Thank you so much. I went to the plant files earlier, and saw all the different beautiful colors of plumerias, and butterfly bushes. They are all sooooo gorgeous!!!!
Thanks in advance.
Linda Kay
Hello to all,
Wow again, I missed a lot today. I hate when I’m sooooooooo late getting in.
Becky, I’m so sorry to hear the news about your Momma, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prays. Sending love and hugs for you all.
You are doing great with that camera, pix came out fantastic and the flowers are beautiful. The burg is going to be gorgeous after it gets done making you wait forever.
Cat, that’s an excellent idea about the plant trade and posting a list here. I may do more requesting because I don’t have much to offer, but will be happy to pay postage. I’ll look around and see if I can find some things of interest for you all. I won’t be able to post on Sunday at 2, but can do it earlier that day. I will only be posting sporadically Sun-Wed next week. Siobhan will be here with me when we are not at the hospital and she sleeps in the puter room so that kills my late night and early morning reading. I can create the list and dmail someone so they can post it at the right time if that works better. I think it would be easier for all if the lists were together on the thread. Clem that might work for you too, I know Sunday is family day for you.
Joyce I was laughing out loud at your story about the piece sign, all I could think of was Filmore and Mater in Radiator City (Disney move, Cars). Sounds like a blast from the past. Hope this one is just as much fun.
Faye, It is soooooooooo hard to keep up here so no worries if you can’t read it all. I can do names and I can do faces, now don’t ask me to put them together, I have to be in the room for a long time before I can do that. Your vine pic is beautiful; I defiantly want to try the H-vine next season. Happy to hear your DH is doing so well.
Here she is tonight, AuntB I can smell her so she must have a really strong sent. I can’t give you a good description of the sent but it is sooooooooooo nice, see, HEY hotties no fair looking at the pix before you read the post. Oh who is that old lady sniffing that flower. Pix not so great, I had to take it myself and the camera was at arms length. Here’s peeking at ya.
Anybody have a clue if this will work, she dropped this one today. We had bad thunder storms with heavy rain so I’m lucky she held on to some.
Donna, you're beautiful! Such a pretty face and hair, although hidden behind the beautiful Brug, LOL!
hey Donna, you are so funny, here she drops the bloom and you plant her in your vase like a devils trumpet, what is wrong with you woman, lol, she is an angel ok
OK the mosnters is at again and late for me here is how she started and you are all probably so bored at this, I don't care you are my hottie sis and you better put up with me, haa, haa
Donna you took a pix of yourself, woohoo now I see it, I had seen you before but that one is gorgeous!
Well we're suppose to get our first frost tommorow night....I am not ready for this...
So the brugs will have to be moved in tommorow....
Does anyone know how cold can Crimiun Lilies can tolerate??
Trying to get my tropicals added to...For my balcony next year..
And was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to root some of them...I suck at it...
Dirt Vs Water... Some say honey works??
I'm getting cuttings of Plumbago..Mandevilla..Blue Hibiscus...Already killed 10 cuttings....LOL
a Bougainvilla
And a Versi colored Brug...Know how the do them...
Was fooling around and took a tiny tip from my Isabella and put it in dirt...and the sucker rooted...It's an inch tall..LOL
Mmaybe I should try seeds....LOL
I have lots of seeds from my Zebra Mallow Zebrina if anyones interested...
And will have seeds from Purple Queen and Rose Queen Cleome someday....LOL
An FBI spy you guys you better watch out, hee, hee
Hotties, excuse me, I don't want to interupt, but I can't see to read the rest of this 2 foot long conversation cause my eyes are watery. Becky we will talk soon, but I want us to have undivided attention... and Karen, if I may say "ditto" to your post up there..darkmoondreamer, I'm so glad you are here, are you an author? Ever write short stories? You have a way with words. We are all like a network.. the verizon wireless tv commercial.. we're all behind each other.. when in distress or sorrow just for fun.. oh, and brugs.... Missy kitty wants me to pet her, I cnt proofread so I hope I keyboarded otay, goin for the puffs and back to catch up.... :)
LOL, Bonnie I just heart you!!! You always make my day or night with something special to say that makes each one of us feel needed and wanted here......
Clemen I have the popcorn ready and the blanket to put over my face....keep the pics coming! Soundtrack for tonight's bloom? Jaws..................ROTF
We ARE like the Verizon network here...those commercials with the person with 1,000 Verizon people behind him? That's what I feel like with this group, you are always behind me wherever I am {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}} Lilsister Phyllis sweetie sent me a package today filled with the most wonderful variety of bulbs!!! A totally unexpected and most appreciated gift! Love you Phyllis!
Phillys that flower is gorgeous!
Karen she is almost done and decided to leave her outside tonight, I have taken so many pics of this plant that now they are all started to look the same. But since you ask for them here you go.
Aunt B i hope you are ok
Love to all and specially the spy in RI, she is really looking at all of us isn't she? lol
Yeah, I hear you Clemen, just leave it outside to scare the local wildlife and pets, LOL! I am getting tired early tonight so I guess I'll settle in. Nitey nite everyone
AuntB, hope your Ok. Lots of shoulders here to lean, and cry on if needed.
Please take care.
Ladies all the blooms are so nice. Keep them coming.
Good night
Linda Kay
I'm gaining on you hotties, now! Writing stuff down, cause I just can't keep up in my head! Faye ((((((((((hugs))))))))) I wondered how your dear DH was doing, what a relief for you! How are you feeling? Hope Peggers ;) (she'll love that IF she ever gets caught up) hope she's doing better... maybe we should wait a little longer for a swap list post and pick a day more compatible, cause Peggy might miss the whole she-bang? And I know Lovely Clemen wants to play, too. Better get them begging d-mails going for your special brugs now, hotties ;) Donna, great idea though, cause maybe there will never be a good time for all of us at once,
Whadda ya think Hotties?
Phyllis, so, so sorry to hear about the weather, I feel the pain every season, and this is too early for me.. I'm lucky, so far! If you think your teeny weening rootlings are doing fine in potting mix, start EASING them into a feeding schedule, I was gifted some like that and I did what she told me and at least 1 of them has buds on it now! Vixen.. that's the brug.. cute Clemen, 2 nights in a row with that... thhhing?? How exiting for you, it smells, doesn't it? Now if I try to finish catching up I hope it works...I have sooo much more to say.... honestly, now I'm CERTAIN I'm a blabber Bonnie.. gonna be a late nite I can tell. Donna, I missed ya at work today, meant to post that at work.. you little BEAUTY, more beautiful than NOL.. and thank you all again for the compliments on my mug shot (side view) ;) Anyone else?? Karen? The pic is for Donna, Pink Beauty..... she's about to!
Don't have much to offer in plant exchange, but please put me on the begging list!
THANKSSSSSSS Faye
Night all.
Lost my message one more, anyway, good to see Bonnie is back and OK, you scared me before lady, don't do that ok. Love the pix of the bruggie!
zzzzzzzzzzzz everyone, time to hit the sack a little early tonight, Love to all!
Miss Peg, hope she is felling better.
How about creating a new thread for the trade items? that may make it easier?
Linda Kay
I know I've missed someone.. Faye, thank you for posting your HB vine, I missed not having some this year... to slow to germinate. It's pretty without a hummingbird, I LOVE your arbor. Phyllis, not sure on lilies, but I'm eye-ballen that Zebra, Gorgeous.. and tropical looking! Hug's ya plant lugger..I mean lover..
LISTEN UP: Some of the other Hotties, besides Beck have exchanged contact info with me.. we mostly gave home and cell numbers and a contact person and a number to reach them.. I've told my DD to jump on here and explain my situ if something ever happened to me.. but that may not be feasible for her to do. So I hope you sweetie hotties are exchanging info with a couple other hotties, it's so scary to not know if you are safe when we don't hear some rattling from ya for days. With all the storms around it's a sanity precaution..
Nitey nite Sweet Karen.... the future author ;)... I'm skimming back over one more time.. but you guys are always here for me, too.
Thanks hotties, you are to kind with your words. This lady is getting old and I have the wrinkles and grey streaks to prove it. The body is given out, but in my heart and mind I will be forever young, although wiser with the years.
Phyllis that pic is beautiful, would love some of the Zebra seed if you have enough to go around. Hope you and your plants fair well; it is too early for frost. I guess we have no control over Mother Nature she’s has her own schedule.
OMG, thanks Clem I just looked at the clock and wow where did the night go. It’s time for me to hit the hay to so I don’t screw up the day tomorrow. I was not spying I was a peeking, New Orleans Lady got first billing.
AuntB, I posted a few times from work today but they are not here. I know I had a busy day but they must have gotten lost in Cyberspace. I know I hit send, I think I hit send, oh well it was a crazy day. Thanks for the pic of pink beauty, can’t wait to see her open.
Linda Kay, you messin with me?? I thought I forgot to wish you sweet dreams.. then you posted again and I thought maybe I had confused you with someone else but I didn't! .. the hottie marble caper helped!! XO.. We thought we start it on #16 or 17.. Are you saying #15 is getting hard to load??? Dialer-uppers.. New thread?? I'm hauling my big heavy stuff, like Louise's Maya to the RU, but I don't have a bunch of big stuff. I am sharing some special things for a few of my MW DG'er buds and I will have plenty and a variety for a nice batch of "swap" for everyone. I need some support here, Hotties.. I really shouldn't be trading for anything, I have on-going trades set up, I need these special things...
SEND OUT FOR POSTAGE ONLY... no trading or swapping for more plants, tropical or otherwise.... I must adhere!
Keep me focused..... I need to think of the haul... the prep.. the feeding.. the watering.. the fussing.. and repotting... Clemen your ugly duckling is quite a delicate swan! Gimmee Karen's popcorn.. lol How about Sandy and Sandy? Is one of them sick? I think Amiyah is doing better so maybe selfless Sandy is resting... Impatiens for you Impatient bud watchers (just like me)..
Linda Kay, I like that idea, a seperate thread on a specific day then it will be easy to find all the post.
Then for those that want they can dmail the people who have posted what they have for postage.
Like that idea.
Clemen, I love the bloom, keep posting....we like to see baby pictures....
Faye, please beg, cause if we have stuff to share that means we don't have room for it and I hate leaving things outside to freeze! That's a killer....in more ways than one.....
Phyllis - I think we will have an early frost also, it has just been too cold, in September. I have those lilies and I brought them in, I thought I read somewhere they are not very hardy. I will look and see if I can find that. That is the one with white flowers.
Donna - Thumping Rabbit that was the strangest place, it was caught in a time warp, but sure gave us alot of laughs for over a year now. They were very eco, infact they had one shower that you had to sign up for, so there was this list of everyones names. Their houses were made of used stuff, and I use used stuff loosely, no new stuff allowed. A girl in her 20's that was prego and going to give natural child birth there at the community building...I thought if I was her Mom I would have a heart attack and I don't have any kids.....MG
You know I lurk all day long to try to stay caught up while I am at work so I am not too far behind when I get home. But, I love reading all the things going on. I never thought in my entire life since my job is computers all day long, that I would ever enjoy chatting and reading conversations from folks I have never met.....at least most of you I have never met..
Oh AuntB, there is always room for one more little pot...it will be tiny and fit in the palm of your hand....
It won't take much food, water, or dirt. The space needed is so small. Just think it might be just like the other one you have but what if something happened to the other one, you need a spare. Oh, gosh it is so small and you will save it from the freeze and next spring it won't take up any room in the yard....Oh AuntB just one more.....
Darn, AuntB, that person I have in my head always talking to me seems to have come out to help you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
Me too, it's been a crazy day and evening here..is there something going around?? I'll elaborate later.. Is it Friday yet?? Donna, I think we could still kick up a little sand and be quite a pair-- look out world! Hotties Donna and Bonnie will be "on the loose" someday! Tractors and trailers, set.. go! We need to schedule us one of them drinkin cruises like Joyce is goin on.. :) Joyce, I couldn't resist.. xo LOL No one can hold any of us down! Ya'll check out Gordonhawks post on the night blooming brug.. if you haven't.. Good night dear Ladies.. I've sure enjoyed the hottie part of the day.. Prayers for those sick and hurting... AuntB
