Looks like flowers.... within a flower!!!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I have seeds for those Globe Amaranth!


I'm not sure how the loquat is doing...it's at my one girlfriend's place. Nice banana plants, Zac!


So I was about to post a shot in the dinner thread...


: )

[tbaleno]

Was it just me or did everyone have issues last night accessing the site?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah it crashed sometime yesterday morning, Tom. It's only been back up and running since today. I checked this morning and it was still down.


Hope it won't happen often, like before.

[tbaleno]

Does he know why it keeps crashing. I know my website has been having issues the 5th of every month as it gets spamed from asia with hacking attempts. Every month I have to ban whole countries from accessing my site. I wonder if it is the same with him.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I think there's a thread about it...but I'm not too sure what the exact problem is. Hope it gets fixed.


I was just about to post another food and it's heathful benefits in the food remedy thread. Typed out some info from my wonderful book last night, and I'm anxious to share it...


So how's the day going, Tom? Going in the pool today? It's sunny and cool here.


: )

[Willow87]

hi sherry and tom . how are you today? i'm glad the site is working again

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Nice you stopped in to chat, Cam. I was about to snap a shot or two. I just finished posting in some other threads I started, but have been neglecting photo taking!


I'm just hanging out today at home, and glad the site is working again also. It sucks when it crashes.


I gotta take something out of the freezer for dinner tonight...not sure what.


So how's the weather there, guys? Heard any new jokes lately?


Guess I'll see if I can get a pic...


: )

[Willow87]

it's hot and humid here lol. i watered my garden because it hasnt rained in weeks. my love lies bleeding plant is flowering. its about 3 feet tall and i grew it from seed. one of the sunflowers you gave me has a flowerbud on it

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Wow that's just great, Cam! I bet you're super excited. I love sunflowers. So glad you're enjoying them. So cool about your love lies bleeding plant too!


Sucks it's muggy.


So I took a couple shots that I'm gonna post in a minute...


: )

[Willow87]

its really exciting but i dont know which variety it is lol. the plant is only a couple of feet tall

[The Hollyberry Lady]

We'll know when it blooms, Cam.


I'm bawling like a fool right now after reading Greg's tear jerker stories in the Reflections thread. Oh boy those are sad.


I'm trying to make dinner and load some more pics...


: )

[Willow87]

i think it may be the teddy bear one.Unfortunately some of the sunflowers didnt make it. i hope you have a great dinner. i made some ribs and pasta.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah I posted a shot of my dinner tonight in the dinner thread. Too bad you guys wouldn't participate there more and show us what you're having too.


Teddy Bear will be nice, Cam. Sunflowers are so cheerful.


I just finished showering my Aurora hot pepper plants and a Bay Laurel tree. Everything here is thriving! I have a few more seed-grown flowers that are gonna bloom soon, so I'll be showing them over time. I wish I had sown more petunias. Those ones I have are so fragrant and the smell wafts at night. I can even smell them when I'm in bed!


So now I'm deciding on what to do with the rest of my evening...


: )

[tbaleno]

Sherry, it is cold and drizzly here so no pool. My son and daughter want to swim anyway but it isn't going to happen.

I took a picture of my banana pups and I'll post them sometime tonight.

[Willow87]

i think teddy bear is going to be my favorite. i alwys think you have a greenhouse because you have so many plants and so many flowering plants. i planted some more love lies bleeding seeds, i just love the plant and i readthat the leaves can be an alterative to spinach and the seeds are an edible grain. ihave nothing planned for tonight as usual lol.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

No greenhouse Cam...just a whole lot of east and south windows. My living room is very much like a greenhouse though with plants and sunshine everywhere.


Sorry I disappeared for a bit but some pals stopped by unexpectedly. I forgot to log off, so sorry if you guys thought I was around and ignoring you! Not a chance.


Yeah, no fun swimming in cold rainy weather Tom...especially if there's lightning!


I should get some shut eye soon but I'll be back tomorrow. G'night, guys.


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

So much for getting to bed a little "early" tonight!


: )

[tbaleno]

Here is a picture of my banana. I was wondering if it would ever have pups again, but after only a week or so outside I have 3 new ones sprouting up.

[Willow87]

You are so lucky Sherry, I have very few South and East facing windows. I need to invest in some grow lights LOL. Tom thats a nice banana plant, is it Little Prince?
