All of them that I've seen at the nurseries and in the catalogues were all sorts of colors but I don't think I had seen a pure white and heaven knows we could use something around the plantation that is pure...<br /><br />Laura, he has his moments. And like everybody else there are times you want to pinch his nose and vice versa, but the love in our family runs deep.<br /><br />Tipper, he's not good for much but he's a heck of a cook and he's a great help with the flowers. I'll be going out and taking more corn pics today. <br /><br />Becky you are so right. Carol wished she had had the camera for the smile that busted out on my face when I saw that beauty... and then realized that, yes, I was right.Reddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-29746710369384433202009-08-14T18:36:05.563-05:002009-08-14T18:36:05.563-05:00They are very pretty.

You might want to read about how to grow... from what I read yesterday before I posted you need a bit more knowledge and some luck. I'm really anxious to see if they come up.<br /><br />PS, all three of my brothers are great... great ornery senses of humor although my oldest brother has a bit more of a dry humor... he can keep up the rest of us for sure in quick comebacks. i love all three of them and my sister, too.<br /><br />JoJo I am thankful that he acknowledges when I'm right. Our dad found that difficult to admit and when we were right he'd usually just shut up about whatever it was, so it is nice to be told I'm right and vice versa. Terry I'm learning from my brother to look up and see stuff around me. I'm so used to looking at the ground when I walk to try to avoid falling on my face (or knee) that I sometimes forget to stop and just look. I don't need to always be going full tilt. I miss things when I do that.Reddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-33551431421040782912009-08-14T13:21:41.011-05:002009-08-14T13:21:41.011-05:00Mary Ellen...

I'll find out who Bro ordered them from and let you know.<br /><br />Dar talk about timing. I always thought it amazing when I'd post something and then go read other posts and there would be something similar on at least one...The photo was taken last year after Thanksgiving when we were dcorating for Christmas. He's cut off his hair since it got so hot. He may get up and shave the fur off his face or just leave the mustash... He likes to change. The knee is achy but I did a lot yesterday and this morning. I'm resting it for a bit then I have to run to town. It still won't let me crawl around on it, but that will take a day or two I think.<br /><br />Tina We are south and east of OKC and Norman. My zone is 7 or 7a, but I've had some luck with calla lilies that are for zone 8 or further south. Passifloras that I've looked at in the catalogues usually say zone 5-8 or 9. I did find when I googled that there are natives in the s.e. part of the U.S. and are called Maypops. Google them, it's real interesting.Reddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-13604997501369200292009-08-14T12:05:42.513-05:002009-08-14T12:05:42.513-05:00Howdy

I thought the ...wow so what is your gardening zone? I thought the the passion flower vine could only grown in fairly temperate climates. You are near Oklahoma City right? The last time I was down there they had just had one heck of an ice storm Ours grow ok but we have to protect them in the winter and they all die off when we have extreme winters (along with hardy bananas, palm trees, etc).<br /><br />I know your nearsighted pain!! I have to put mine on to find the bathroom at night-don't want to miss the door and use the closet :) haha<br /><br />Your brother is sooooooo nice :) both to bring you a nice flower and admit he was wrong. and risk poison ivy on top of it all!<br /><br />I would love to have flower conversations with my brother. We both have a passion for gardening but sadly..all the other disagreed upon stuff keeps us from talking about what we have in common.<br /><br />You are one lucky sister!!<br /><br />TinaTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-10739025467973544032009-08-13T22:17:29.519-05:002009-08-13T22:17:29.519-05:00PS...How is the kneePS...How is the kneedarsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204592599045715814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-17306531466064973922009-08-13T22:17:07.098-05:002009-08-13T22:17:07.098-05:00Great Picture of you and your brother by the way :...Great Picture of you and your brother by the way :-))darsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204592599045715814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-17272636546689256712009-08-13T22:16:12.197-05:002009-08-13T22:16:12.197-05:00absolutely beautiful flowers!! you aren't goin...absolutely beautiful flowers!! you aren't going to believe this I took a picture today of the passifloras at my sisters house.
