题目: Spring is here

Yesterday was so beautiful. We had clear bright blues skys with not a cloud in sight. Warm air with an almost tropical breeze blowing. Spring is finally here in good old Virginia. All the trees have buds and the grass is getting greener each day. Its looking like today will be just like it.

nobleheart: Wow! *wonders if that is my first hubby's house* My daughters said he had a 20 thousand dollar tree he got from the rain forest to put in his foyer.. yet, he complained having to part with 350.00 a month for two children for childsupport.. go figure..

9. 四月 2005, 01:32:59

题目: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

nobleheart: are you sure that is the Tassie tree fern? its trunk is a bit thin...

9. 四月 2005, 04:00:08

题目: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

BerniceC: yes,it was a tas tree fern.maybe it was a little thin because it was raised indoors.

9. 四月 2005, 04:19:55

题目: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

nobleheart: Being raised indoors does make trees,ferns etc have a whole new look.I'm raising a banana tree indoors from Fla, and it will probably never reach six ft.

9. 四月 2005, 12:45:21

题目: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

Foxy Lady: ah the joys of the southern hemi, I,m growing my banana out side it gets to 8 foot then the frost knocks it back every year. I dream of the frost free year then I might get bananas lol

题目: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern
