Hiya Sherry....geeez i cant believe the times that you guys post at....the only time i am up at that time, is to go pee

No snow here since last week, it lasted a day or so, and then melted.....i thought i posted a pic of it here....hmm?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi Pen!


Nice to hear from you!


Yeah, well some of us stay up fairly late and chat awhile, but at least I'm not going to bed at 4 am anymore!


You posted a shot of your first snowfall Pen, but none after that...I don't think. I thought you guys would have tons by now...and us too. We've been lucky this year, that's for sure. I'm still riding my bike!


: o


So I hope everyone has a great Monday and a good week. It's Thanksgiving for you Americans on Thursday...I started a thread.



Check out this cool clip I was watching this morning...

This was last weeks snowfall......but its gone now, thankfully!!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Nice little trees, Penny! I'd rather look at them, than the snow.


I must admit though that snow sure makes the Christmas lights look pretty.

I think he had a romantic evening planned with Sally-anne this evening, Blake. No doubt they are salsa dancing under the moonlight!


Beautiful Canna blooms, Janan! They're so cheerful looking!


So how are you guys tonight? I've been busy most of today and had no time to take any new pics. Plus it rained all day long.


Hope you guys are having a good Monday...

Starting tommrow I will be about 500 more miles up-north, in Ohio... For thanks giving, The last time we were there was 5years ago. We are gona travel halfway there on tuesday and the other half on wednesday. Ill see if I can get some mountain pictures

What I would really like to take pictures (aerial mainley) with is the Draganflyer X4. But the thing that is holding me back is the price, they are in the thousands! Draganflyer X4 Four Rotor UAV Helicopter Aerial Video Platform They seem pretty cool though! I would getone if I came into the aerial pic business.

Wow, cool Blake...I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.



Janan...


I've been noticing that your camera takes a really nice shot...now I'm wondering what kind you have as well, and the particulars? It seems like it's a good one.



So Blake, are ya having a turkey? Be sure to check out and join this new thread...


Happy Thanksgiving, America!

Hi Sherry and everyone. I finally get to post a picture of my Thanksgiving cactus. It has several blooms on it. I had three different colors in the pot but the other 2 didnt make it.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Nice, Cam!


Be sure to show us the blooms when they open. Did you see that gorgeous yellow one Janan
has?!


I am after a certain friend of mine to pick me up a couple in his area if he comes across the ones I want. We'll see...


: )

[Willow87]

Thanks Sherry! Yes the yellow one is beautiful, I've never seen them in that color. I may look for one tomorrow. I will keep you posted on the flower pictures. I was wondering how you have yours so full and beautiful. Mine is so wimpy looking and its about 2 years old, maybe a little older.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Cam!

I just kept turning mine over the years to make sure all the sides got light. Plus I kept it well fed. You're right though, it is quite full and dense.





Let us know if you find any cool new colors, Cam...

[Jananas Bananas]

Hi insomniac gang! It's that time of night for me to start yapping on the computer! HA! HA!

I think your cactus looks good Cameron! Your blooms are a different color salmon that I have I think. Oh and Sherry thanks for the compliments on my threads! I have to show you guys a couple of shots of a cactus and tell me what you think. I will load them here in just a few minutes.

Blake that helicopter thingy is something else!!!! When I first glanced I thought it was for a person and thought no way but since it is "unmanned" I think that would be fun. When we were kids my Dad had RC airplanes and they were a lot of fun for us.

(Have to go load the shots for you)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Very cool, can't wait to see them, Janan!!!

Lego Town...





I only wish I had that much lego when I was a kid!


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

OK Here goes! This is a pure white one with the hot pink stamens. No color to the blossom at all:





And here is the one in the combination pot that I got - I thought it was white until today. What color do you see?????





That is not flash - they are both taken with the natural light coming through a glass door - same lighting conditions in other words!

I am so excited I can't hardly stand it!!!!

~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

They're both stunningly gorgeous, Janan!


That's the one I have, like yours, totally white with pink stamens...





I saw a light pink one like your other one, and there's many different shadings of pink...yours is a real beauty though. I can see why you're so excited.


What will you do with all of them Janan...put them in one big pot, or keep them all separate?


Your going to have lots of blooms for awhile. Be sure to label them all so that when they're not blooming, you'll know which they are!


Thanks for the nice shots of your beautiful cacti.


: )

[Willow87]

Wow Janan and Sherry you both have beautiful cactus plants! What fertilizer do you use on yours to make it look so pretty? I'm definitely going to try to find another color tomorrow

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've been known to apply Ultra-Bloom 15-30-15 Miracle Grow to my Thanksgiving cactus every couple months or so, Cam. I didn't really have a schedule though...just whenever I thought of it.


Ok it might be time to spill the beans...


I wasn't going to say anything, but the truth is my beautiful 4 year old white Thanksgiving cactus was stolen recently!!!


and it's no mystery who took it either...


I just can't discuss it too much in posts. It remained in our locked laundry room, accessible only to tenants, for over four years and it was loved by everyone who lives here.


I am truly devastated by it, and have come to find out that it's been a tenant who's been stealing my plants right straight along...even back last summer when some of you may remember I had a number of them robbed from me.


Sad that it's gone, but I have cuttings that I had taken a couple months back so it's not lost forever, thankfully.


Unfortunately, I am all done with potted plants in and outside of the building and will now only be able to enjoy them inside my place, under lock and key. The rest of my plants will grow directly in the garden, but no more pots for thieves, will be anywhere in sight.


Sorry to put a damper on things but I thought I'd let you guys know that my beautiful cactus was stolen on me!


: (



At least I have that lovely picture though, to always remember it...


and cuttings too.
