Thornius Thornius The Bird Man Dream Gardener Registered: 05/24/05 Posts: 4199 Loc: Nashville, TN	Yeah, but when we got to the hospital they were having a huge sale! My wife and I spent more than we should. We both bought rings. She got a Sterling Silver and Crystal Dolphin ring, I got a man's black enamel band with a silver tribal design on it. I also bought some 1 1/2 carat sterling silver and Amethyst cabochon ear studs for myself, done in an ancient, Bronze Age Mediterranean design. They had each item for only $6.00 each, with part of the proceeds going to benefit the Hospital. We got $60.00 worth of goodies for $18.00. _________________________ Watch the Birdie!

It is up but no blooms yet. I hear they love this vine as well. Anyone know for sure? _________________________ Cricket

cricket cricket Great Gardener Registered: 04/03/08 Posts: 831 Loc: Texas	My cypress vine arch is on the East side of the house. I think it will love the morning sun, but when late summer hits it may get more sun than it wants for an hour or two longer than it wants? I noticed the hummers come to my Lousiana Iris' also. _________________________ Cricket

Bestofour Bestofour Patriot Gardening Pro Registered: 08/10/03 Posts: 7556 Loc: Monroe, NC	maybe someone will come along who remembers. That was the coolest picture. I'd like to see it again. Seems whomever it was lived close to the water or a big pond or lake. It's going to drive me nuts. _________________________ http://www.picturetrail.com/bestofour
