LOL!!

Answer... not very attractive!!

ok the picture is here

Oh and with my name in white, at the upper right hand side where the picture is very dark.

Very Nice Picture Rue!!!!

Thanks that is my back yard from out my upstairs hall window.

My son took it after a rainy day. That is the wonderful thing about a rainy day. Afterwards everything looks so lush and beautiful, all the colors are more intense.

Bill may I please have the aster (top row, 2nd column) for a signature button? It should say Lorella.
thank you.

wow that was fast! Thank you, Bill.

(oh and just wanted to mention that when you talked (in another post) of doing landscaping at "the Nordstroms" I knew exactly of whom you spoke. My brother lives in Seattle, and went to school in Kirkland. )

Hello Bill.
I have a personal pic that I would love to use as a signature button but I have no way of getting it on to the computer for the time being. Do you think it would be to much trouble to give me that monkey in a recent wall paper post as a temperary pic? It was with the azalea's. If not(to much trouble) I think it should have a small boarder and say something allong the lines of temp photo along the bottom but I trust you with the words!

I have some apples stashed away if you'd prefer them over the monkey for your temp....
Let me know and I'll fix you up whichever way you'd like!

Thanks bill!
Hmm... I think I'll stick with the monkey. I like it's style. The names more of a reference to when I was in jr. high, when ever I saw a stray apple on the floor I'd jump on it! It was an iresestable urge and the nic name kind of stuck in my head! Those poor janitors though.

OH OH!!!!! I was the custodian at our local Jr High for a while and we have at least two members that visit regularly, who are currently custodial engineers ... You may have stuck your foot in your mouth Apples....
mwa hahaha!

Thanks Bill!
I dubb thee speed demond and man of good deeds! As for the apples I blame it on innocence and god will save me from any harm!

Hey I want one too! Is it implite to ask for one I found? I have one I think is perfect for me.

If it can't be done, I certainly understand.

Sorry scarlet begonia, I'm afraid that I can't use other people's photos for your button (unless it's yours, or you can get the photographer's written permission, of course)
If you do a forum search (in the profile bar at the top) of the Desktop of the Day photos, you'll find several Begonias that I've posted there. Hopefully you can find one that is nearly as perfect for you!
Bill

I REALLY like the red one in the middle -

Tuberous Begonias from TGHF DOD


now what do I need to do?

Scarlet Begonia,
Just to let you know, I shortened that link
so it didn't go off the page..

Nice begonia by the way!!
I have several of those,
and so does my mother!!

Good choice!!!


Weezie

Thanks Bill, it looks beautiful! I may try to grow some of these this year, I've never tried to grow anything but the ordinary ones!

Nice Picture Scarlet!!

Those are very easy to grow!!!
Very easy!!
And so many colors, and styles.
Some are like that, and some are
hanging like, like the angle wings!!
So pretty!

Weezie

Thanks weezie, Bill suggested it. You say they are easy to grow. I've seen them as bulbs, or corms, or tubers or whatever but a bit pricey for zone 5 that will die if I leave them out. Maybe when I get my greenhouse.

Yep, at the end of the season, just bring
them inside, and I just stop watering....

They dry out, the leaves dry up, (oh, I've
even had the stalk, the whole thing, just
clunk over, and off) but the bulb goes
dormant, and leave in a cool basement,
(I leave mine in a basement that has two
hot water tanks and a furnace... that's it
for heat, they over winter fine..
Then come sometime around, oh, say middle
of March (ish) and then you'll see some
little tiny growths at the top of the dirt,
that'll be the plant coming back to life.

I do nothing to them but water them..
and stop watering.
Little bit of fish emulsion and once in
awhile Shultz's 10~60~10.............

Now, my former neighbor used to take them out of
their container/pot, and put them in peat moss or something, and then replant them in the spring..
Can do that too!

And I have a girlfriend that just let's them
grow through the winter in her kitchen window..

So, I can say, you pick a method I guess.....

Get 6, and try 2 of each, with the 3 different methods.... I am a experimenter...

But for me, I'm terribly pulled in many different directions, (I look something like me picture down there with my name, going in so many different directions at the same time!)
But I'm slow, so, the method I chose was the easiest for me!

Hope this info helps!!
Weezie

I guess I could do that. I already dig up Glads and some other flower that I can't remember what it is but it's so pretty that I've been digging it out and replanting it every year. I guess one more won't hurt.

By the way, how do you get your hair to look so wonderful? And so purple, too!

Scarlet,
It's my ELECTRIFYING PERSONALITY!!!

weezie, the "black bat plant" was on a markdown shelf at wallymart. $3.50.... it was sickly with one leaf. liking a challenge i took it home, let it adjust, did some searching on it. it now has 3 leafs. i understand i have a rare plant. thanks for searching for me. come on spring.

weezie, cannot separate bat plant rooting's or stem. not sure just yet how to make another one. i'm not taking the chance at this early stage of it's re-birth.

MZSHIRLEY
That is one unusual plant!!
Does yours look like the picture on the
link I gave you? Or just a baby????

That's a sharp looking plant.
I am totally unfirmiliar with it!!! Butttt....
Maybe Will Creed would know, or Lizheaemma, or oh, gosh, there's a few that might know!!!!

Maybe we can get those gardeners to come up here
and take a peak at your question??
Or start a new post under plants and flowers Section.... and try it there...
Sometimes we have gardeners that frequent only certain area's....So, maybe if we get that question down there...
Let me know if you need anymore help!!

Weezie
