Foxy Lady: oh foxy,wasnt calling you a sap,it was a play on the word "sap",I had used many botany words to make a silly paragraph..still have the text if u want to see it again..dont worry about it,it was a waste of time anyway.I thought it might give you a chuckle.

DanDanDan: I'm not an expert either, but firstly are they the fruiting cheery type not flowering cherries. I haven't had to prune mine but it's only 2 years old. Last year we only got a dozen or so cherries but it's laden this year. Also could be the variety might need a pollinator, Hope this helps.

DanDanDan: I wonder if it will take a few years before they produce a fruit??

Here is a good gardner link

Cherry Trees

Hey, we planted cherry trees and not one cherry.....

I'm cluless on these things...what did we do wrong and should we prune them??

We all have bad days. I think on the whole, everone gets along with each other in here. That's why I like reading in here.

Peace quiet and harmony.

Saps and all. (lol! sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!)

nobleheart: I'm sorry i edited your post Noble i had a very bad day.Now i'm accused of deleting posts here that i don't like,thats not true thats why i have a Glob on here for a mod.I'll give up this board if thats the case.

What i edited was your calling me a sap.

nobleheart: never heard of arica so did the old google bit LOLOL....in australia we call them golden canes....well i think that is the same....can be inside or out.

*FOXY*I havent tried to buy the oil yet but have kept its name for later.

Foxy Lady
was there something wrong with my humourous sentence using botany terms that you edited?
there was nothing vulgar in it,just silly.
BerniceC I have an indoor arica palm.

BerniceC: I'm glad you got my PM wasn't sure if you heard of it.

Foxy Lady: well there is no use barking about falling leaves,they wont stop this time of year.

BerniceC: Oh wow i hate just trying to keep up with the leaves.

What a great link that was Foxy :) thanks....we get our lawns mowed for us there is no way I can do it and of course Vern with his lungs being stuffed cant do it either....

Foxy Lady: no, not sore...disheartened
it is nearly 7.30am sunday here and went outside to put the sprinklers on and overnight the seeds have fallen again and i reckon there would be about a bucket full waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
looks as tho i will have to be doing this cleanup daily :(

BerniceC: I bet your sore today?

Eriisa: Too early for me to reply but good guessing.I gotta wake up wow i slept all nite till 5 am.lol

Eriisa: yes that is exactly right :)

been busy today....I have a huge Bismarkia palm in my front yard and it has thousands of seed falling to the ground. Some are as big as a small wine glass and other are nearly as big as a tea-cup (small). I have been picking them up today ....2 barrow loads full of them...nearly killed me.

Here is a pic of a bismarkia...1/2 the size of mine, they are beautiful palms but very messy :(

**edit**
to add link LOL

what??? Foxy, you expect me to work?????? lol

My guess is that someone posted and deleted their own post.

BerniceC: Your right i don't even see the red numbers......Maybe Eriisa being a Glob can check or ask Fencer.

Foxy Lady:it isnt a problem and I dont think you can check that....only Fencer would have it on his data base...but lets test.... underneath my last post on red numbers is a post I made....I will delete that and you check if you can see that it has been deleted....I dont think you can....only Fencer :)

BerniceC: I just rechecked and i find none deleted.It could be 1 banned user and 1 on hide trying to post.There wasn't any reason for a post to be deleted.

Foxy Lady: it is a case of the red numbers on the outside and no posts on the inside.....somebody deleted a post.

BerniceC: Nothing has been deleted from what i see all is here from last night.

BerniceC: I thought ScarletRose was our desert rose?or is she our mountain maiden?

Eriisa: ty for the link wink

Does anybody know anything about the Desert Rose??

I have recently been given a pretty one...red with white centre, and i bought one that isnt flowering yet but is a pink.

At our local nursery to buy one approx same size as the one i was gifted costs about $60..
I bought the small pink one for $10.

I cant find too much about them :(

I found it by accident while surfing last night. I've really enjoyed it so far. The people on the forums are friendly and helpful.
