3: Gardening Diaries ...

Here in Texas we have "rain lilies". They pop up after a rain, last a few days, and then disappear until the next rain. With 3.85" of rain in two and a half days, we have rain lilies. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we do!

They are pretty little things, and although they last only three or four days, we appreciate them!

They are lovely. 3 or 4 days is a long time in flowering spans! Thank you for sharing. Would never have known. Must be quite a stunning and sassy sight! I appreciate them as well. After and before rain, here in Essex, we only have slugs!

I bet @Logan would love the yellow!

Come now! Your agapanthus seeds have germinated? So you do have a condition with your chillies?

What do you think of our dinner?

Your dinner looked fab just how it should look I could all most taste what it was like have a similar dish on the menu at the min only difference is it’s tarted up

What's in it? I have no presentation skill at all! Fab looking dish! One slice of bacon is a bit too mean for me! LOL! I can murder 4 of these crispy delices

Even the rats are better than me at germinating seeds !

This just makes me laugh although I shouldn't, considering the poor mite! But it's soo funny! Am I wicked or what!?

What problems have your chillies given you, @Leeski ?

 

[Leeski]

No probs with my chilli plants was referring to the grow light comment just in jest - sorry if I offended anyone in regard to the post I made about the poor rat in previous post

Oh that is too awful, must have been so painful for the poor little thing. Not exactly keen on rats but wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy The video clip is so disturbing.

We already have two big Buddleia bushes that we grew from cuttings,so when I found a white and ,a little later, a really deep blue one I just could resist taking some cuttings. Although still small they have both bloomed this year.

One of the big ones..

and the new babies...

Really love seeing all the Bees and Butterflies on them

I used to have a white one, but it's getting so big and I wanted so many plants that I had to uproot it. I think it was from a packet of wild seeds. It's a shame as I really liked the white flowers.

We chop our big ones right back each year..

Weird and awful...too true Can't get the image out of my head
