    Luvin' my Lilies

    Today's Pewter PInk flower is much closer to what I thought it should be... I only know these lilies by name because they came marked on the package... I forget what half of the things in my flowerbeds are called each year! Most all have come from friends and yards I have worked in. Just...

    Luvin' my Lilies

    I kinda like her too! It was growing up in the country that got me started, we always had huge veggie gardens but Grandma Phyllis was the flower lady. I still have 6 of Gramma's roses that I have moved around with me thru the years. (Three of them are 50+ yrs old...) Mom loves flowers too but...

    I know I'm a weed, but I'm so PRETTY!

    I just go out and "pop" the ripe pods with my hand cupped to catch the seed. It ranks right up there with popping bubble wrap! Now that I know there is more than the one kind... a google leads me to believe it is bittersweet nightshade. The enchanter's flower isn't right. bittersweet...

    I know I'm a weed, but I'm so PRETTY!

    What color is it? Can I get some seed, please? I would hate to have it "get loose" in a larger area such as pasture or along a creek but it seems to work for me in the one area I let it grow. All the others that get transplanted around the yard have a hard time reseeding, those are "high...

    What would you ask?

    I did drop the price ($1000 obo) and renewed the ad yesterday, I knew it was steep but it only needs 1 tire. If I was doing long hauls I would want the electric brake but then again I wouldn't do long hauls with this old of trailer, at least not with livestock.

    I know I'm a weed, but I'm so PRETTY!

    Yep, it's a weed! Beautiful orchid-like flowers on a hollow stalk. When I grow them in full sun they get about 3 feet tall and the stalk is very red, in my shade corner they can get 9'+ and the base of the stem can be as big around as my wrist. The roots seem to crown above ground and they blow...
