ajtgirl: ooh, yes Ma'am, i concur. très elégant!

ajtgirl: Thats a pretty plant

Ms. ajt: and tillandsias are the air plants we were talking about before, aren't they Ma'am?

plaintiger: Oppps i hit the wrong button instead of mail i hit hide can you see your posts?
i'll have to find a Glob........All fixed

Foxy Lady: Watch slip of finger

Foxy Lady: lol! yes Ma'am! :D

but it's easy peasy Japanesey to unhide somebody, isn't it? just choose them in the hidden users popup and click "remove"?

plaintiger: I looked you weren't there,i didn't submit it.Dang thats so easy to goof like that.

Foxy Lady: lol...i really think You're getting a lot more worried about it than necessary. i think if You hide somebody You don't mean to hide, You just go to the "hidden users" popup menu, choose them, and click "remove" and they're unhidden again. :)

You're very cute, Ma'am, You know that?

plaintiger: I know that but i didn't submit it.I saw what i done and said ohhhhhhh nooooooo

I've decided to let the pawns post,it's not fair to the ones that always post here.Let's hope we don't have any more problems so keep alert.

Foxy Lady:

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am! =)

WatfordFC: lol! yes Ma'am - if for no other reason than that Ms. Fox will have our hides if we don't!

Dolittle:

Dolittle: yay! a touch o' the Fox when the Fox can't be here!

plaintiger: I was a busy Mom today,trips to the dentist for check ups.Had my first Brownie group here that was fun.Even Laci is an honory s/p member.I did pick up some impatiene hanging baskets and got the amber lights set in the front of the house,and got dinner.Whew now its quiet and hubby is at work.This is my time.

Foxy Lady: niiiice. You *were* busy today! enjoy Your time, Lady!

(and congratulations to Ms. Laci! )

plaintiger: I bought 3 more bamboo plants got good strong roots on them.Their in water right now.I did plant one in dirt and it's doing great.

Foxy Lady: sounds wonderful, Ma'am. i've really got to transplant ours...to someplace...

plaintiger: I've seen most of the plants in the stores in water with white rocks,not dirt.I'm surprised that plant is doing so well.

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am, that's how ours are. in a pretty, cylindrical china vase. i'd like to put them outside, but i don't want them to overrun our lawn and small trees and everthing.

plaintiger: I don't think those bamboo would hold up to our winters.

Foxy Lady: no, Ma'am? Japan and China have some pretty serious winters, i think...i'm not really positive, but i know they have snow and stuff....

plaintiger: Hmmmmmm thats true but i'll keep mine in the house.

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am.

and in fact, a friend of mine in Nyack has a large and healthy stand of bamboo in his back yard. i forgot about that. i think it will handle our winters fine. (but that's no reason not to keep Yours indoors. :)

nobleheart: hmm...that link isn't working for me - it's doing exactly what the Fox's strutting Fox was doing when She first posted it - redirecting me to something that just says "image hosted by tripod" or whatever it says. maybe it'll magically start working later like the Fox's Fox did. :)

plaintiger: It's doing the same to me Tripod does that sometimes.

CleverHunk: Ohhhhhhhh wow

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am. thank You for letting me know it's not just me.

CleverHunk: yeah, pretty amazing. kind of scary à la Little Shop of Horrors, too!

CleverHunk:

Some of those blooms are hard to believe!

I noticed that the 2nd and 3rd were taken in Hanalei, on Kauai
I was just there in April, but it rained alot :(

There are beautiful orchids and palms of many different varieties growing in peoples yards. I was ablt to get a private tour at the Na Aina Botanical Garden outside of Princeville, but it was raining there too. It was a private garden at one time, now open for tours
Thanks for the cool pics.

Were in the 30's can you believe this is the middle of May.

Foxy Lady: absolutely wacky, Ma'am.

it wasn't any 30 here, but it was very cool yesterday (or was it day before?), and very windy; i was driving and saw a yellow leaf float down from above and thought, "great. it's autumn." and i'm still waiting to see whether i was kidding or correct.

plaintiger: Were suppose to start warming up this week,in the 80's by the week end.I sure hope so i wanna start my garden.

Foxy Lady: nice. 77 is the highest high i see forecast for our area through sunday. it's supposed to mostly top out around 71-73. and that sounds heavenly, actually. like perfect weather. mmm. :)

Great pics
Thanks for that
Duck weed is usually a drain clogger in agricultural areas but I am sure it is essential in the forests where great palms grow.
