I love tomato plants....they can trap insects in those hairs you know...and feed on them...oOOoOo...read it somewhere. Might be wrong....

I didn't know that! I was told that you can strip off the bottom leaves of a tomato plant when transferring it and that all those tiny hairs will turn into feeder roots for a nice robust plant.

My gardening skills do not improve That looks perfectly fine to me. It just means that you have given your garden total freedom to live its life as it sees fit!

Mick, what a lovely, lovely photo and a perfect example of "botanical perspective". Beautiful.

Some years ago I saw a picture in what I think was a Mexican Embassy with these all in narrow pale green vases. Been looking for a vase like that ever since.

Yes, that would be perfect for those elegant flowers.
Incidentally, most English-speakers know the Spanish word for calla lilies, whether they realize it or not. In the English-speaking world the word is more closely associated with some '30s movies and a famous prison: Alcatraz.

Those look like my echinacea's. I have pink ones and orange ones. Love them! Here are my old-fashioned hollyhocks. Love them too.

Anybody know what 'fruit' is on this (small) palmtree? It looks like red grapes.

The fuzzy borage leaves and the blue blooms always just send me.
I just used some as a garnish in a fruit salad yesterday. They really set it off.
I'm wracking my brain to ID your last entry K2.
Help me someone!
Mick, your calla lilies are divine. You had noted that you were having difficulty with getting them to bloom. Seems not so now!!!
Bixa, that Cattlaya orchid, I have one that's 40 years old. When we returned from The Katrina diaspora, as we pulled up in the car on 10/1/06 I see a blaze of fushia on our breezeway.(no benefit of rain or any moisture at all). Lo' and behold it's my cattleya!!!!!! 7 and and 1/2 weeks of total neglect.
Great pics good people!!

I saw your Katrina orchid! If you'll remember, I came to NO @thanksgiving right after Katrina & that orchid was still blooming. That was a thrill and a miracle.
