Can we get a Gallery page in this forum?
Comments (9)Well... Now that Spike has sold the site to iVillage, there might be some other unknown-to-us criteria or threshold that the new owners have in order to start up new forums or side-forums from a main one (like a "Conversations", "Gallery", "Exchange", etc). Guess we'll have to see. I'm still amazed at how this site has grown over the years since I started lurking and posting around '98 - '99 and finally joining when the option became available in 2001. Incredible!...See MorePlease. lets' see JUST your Jade plant pictures and collections.
Comments (90)Excellent! Glad to hear that Crassula arborescens is a more thirsty variety. I am slowly planning landscaping part of my yard with succulents. Before I relandscape, I am in the process of trying out individual specimens to see what fares best in my climate. Sounds like Crassula arborescens might be a good landscape candidate. jonaskragebaer - I have to say, I know very little about Denmark. During your wet summers, how hot is it there? My (admittedly limited) trials with succulents show that it isn't the wet alone, but the wet+heat that does them in. Seems like succulents most hate the combination of high humidity combined with nighttime temps not dropping below 80 degrees F....See MorePictures! Let's see them.
Comments (67)I second Steve on everyone's pics, they all look so gorgeous! Poly I am so happy to hear that your garden is beginning to grow since I remember talking at the swaps about all the difficulty you have. Like Poly I am terribly grateful for all your advise and all the plant starts I have gotten from you all. Connie, I am happy to share my penstemon cuttings with you if I can get them to root. This year I had 20 going hoping to bring them to the swap which by chance I missed but somehow they all didn;t take root. I am not sure what I did differently last year. The plant doesnt' seem to spread by roots or anything of that sort or may be slow to do so therefore I am not sure how to get more because I like more of them around the rest of the garden and in case they peter out one season. The only think I can think of is maybe the long cold spring was the reason? The Verbascum is supposed to reseed according to Bluestone's description but I see no signs of that yet? I only got these last summer. Skybird, your yellow columbine is begining to put out more blooms and they are lovely. Anyway I had picked up more plants today at the Flower Bin in Longmont - everything is 20% off this weekend. Coincidently I picked up a Callirhoe and a Veronica Royal Candles which I had my heart set on for a long time and Skybird, your RC looks so good I am glad I had gotten them. I also picked up several Lychnis Chalcedonia and a couple of Coreopsis Zagreb and a Mercury Rising - reddish wine blossoms looked striking and was smitten. PS: I am not sure what the heck was going on with the image codes. I've posted with the exact same html image embedding code but somehow this time after submitting a lot of the code changed characters. Well I am glad the link version worked. Well I am pooped for the day and speaking of poop....I'll start a new post about that! Love, love, love everyone's pictures!

10 years agoI'm gonna assume this was a hawk, plenty of them around here, but it was just too far to be sure. I just love the shot anyway, such a blue sky and he was like : "I OWN THIS PLACE!"

10 years agoI posted this one on another thread, but it's worthy of a second look. This female cardinal is so puffed up against the cold, looks like she swallowed a grapefruit. Love this pic! Photo taken a couple of weeks ago.

10 years agoHi I have seen the rose grosbeak a couple of time here in Quebec but both times it has been rainy. So now I watch for him when it is raining out. I do have a pair of cardinals at my feeder this winter but not today it is very windy so I have not seen any birds at all and we have blue sky. tomorrow I will be full up my feeder with the nasty wind the seeds will blow away. Here is a picture of a hawk I also feed him pigeons in the summer he comes down grabs one and off he goes But I need more of them around cause I have about 25 pigeons in my backyard most of the summer
Thanks for posting your pictures love them

10 years agoI love the big bird feeder I guess no squirrel can get at the food. Have not seen them here in Quebec I guess the pigeons also cannot get at the food I bought a new bird feeder last year and it work pretty good for the pigeons and grackles only problem not more than 3 small birds can eat at one time

Here's the latest from yesterday in non-stop snow: a little house sparrow all fluffed up.

10 years agoThis forum has been a wonderful source of info and the photos have made it much easier to make a hobby of birding. Threads like these have added a new dimension to the time my wife and I spend outdoors as no birds go without notice. Thanks for sharing.

10 years agoIn Central Illinois- usually only see a few towhees the whole summer and have never seen them in the winter. There must have been a small flock of them that spent their days under the feeders in the yard this past weekend. Really enjoying all the photos.
