Im moving there today lol since I gained again this winter
Garden Photos of '09......#2
Allison... why not put your plant picture in the ID forum? I'm quite curious to know what it is myself. It has such shiny leaves! Sometimes when I look at it I see a begonia, other timess it reminds me of a some odd fuchsia varieties, but it's not begonia fuchsioides.
What about fuchsia begonioides?
I thought it looked like a hanging plant I had back in college..."swedish ivy", the leaves would start out ovoid shaped, but as plant matured they would be more round....that was the first thing I thought of when I saw it -- but its been waaaaay too many years since college......
Well, maybe I should move to Moritania. Jo Ann, I'm in agreement with you. Wearing tight clothing that your belly fat is hanging out of is just wrong, IMHO. I know a woman at work who dresses like that. Don't know how she can think that would be attractive.
I consider myself big and beautiful. I would like to lose some weight, but I don't want to be a toothpick. I have been trying to eat healthier lately. I know some of the weight will come off once I get back into my yard work.
Here's a picture of me serving myself some of the candied yams during our Christmas dinner I cooked this year. I'm on the left, and my youngest sister Hope is on the right.

will do that RC
looks like a good dinner NFD
It sure was!
Karen
Fun! It sure looks like you were having way too much fun Cousin Nut.
Great Dinner there Karen! I share the same sentiments on the clothing. Most of it doesn't bother me, but every now and then i just think to myself "do you really think that looks good.... on anyone!!!" I know what the answer would be, so there's no point in actually asking!
Thanks Allison! ..... did you see the ID that someone just gave you? I saw it and thought:......what??? I can't even pronounce that!!

how cool is Dave's... I would have never ever thought of that plant... it was an end of season.. just had to buy... beautiful.... now I am going to have to steal a cutting of her cutting in case momma doesn't return.. I did bring it in and it's either dead or dormant now

Beautiful plant.
Is it the same as Persian Shield?
oops forgot the pic.
it has solid color leaves.... and ity bity flowers that the hummingbirds loved... it doesn't have that colored veining that the PS has... and a softer leaf
Guess I'm not even close.
Your plant is great.
well technically it's hers now... not sure if mine is going to spring back... but i had to take the chance and at least bring the whole pot in
i went looking through my photos... it's next to Randy
It really is pretty, worth trying to save.
thanks... I thought so too... and NFD was right saying it was in the mint family :::clapping:::

nice article
still not sue if momma is dead or dormant though.. just have to wait and see
Why dont we have more patience?
Seems its in all gardeners genes
don't know... you would think we would learn by now.. i am sooo bad with the seeds... germinated yet.. now?... now?... now?
lol.... definitely. Just like kids in a car on a very long ride. 'are we there yet?, are we there yet? , are we there?'
you got it!... and with me it's not even a daily thing... sometimes can be an hourly thing... gotta love OCD
Yep!! Sometimes, that's the only thing that keep so many going though!
I know all about OCD the first two times I tried to grow from seed I drowned everything since I was water like ten times per day using a spray bottle so now I prep and then put a dome on so no spritzing lol
You did have that exact one, Allison? Looks similar but not exact to me.
Is Randy reading your decorating instructions?!
yeah I know that one too Scicci.... I am still bad with watering.... getting better though
the home depot tag didn't say... so I picked the one that looked closest in the PF... it might not be
nice Sherrie.... I kept that one... thanks!
oh oh freezing rain on the way already started at the other end of the city so I figure an hour and it will be nasty my way
yuck
its all they are talking about on tv oh oh that means it could get real bad
Last week I was googling something about JM's and came across a website that sold them. I clicked on the link and was surprised (to put it mildly) to see they were prominently displaying one of my photos without my permission! Turns out they grabbed it from PF. I emailed and called, telling them to either remove it or buy it (I have sold or bartered a number of my photos). No change. I contacted admin and the next day it was gone. They apologized to admin for any 'inconvenience', but never to me. Can you believe that?!!
victor i thought for sure they would send you one of those hanging rock deals.
I'd love to send a rock their way...
that's pretty pathetic
aren't they in California - wow you must have a really good arm - lol
seriously, i can't believe they did not contact you directly, especially since you had done so.
