My Masquerade is not only alive for the 3rd season, but has graced me with a sport. Instead of the usual white centered green margins, I have 2 eyes that are green centered with very dark green margins. I will get a photo when it stops raining. Anyway, do you know if there are any registered (named?...

I should have gotten some pics yesterday whe it was sunny... we are supposed to get a whole week of rain now. Yes, mine are up and blooming better than ever. Of course, they are year 3 in the ground here so that may have something to do with the bumper crop too..... KHT that is a beauty! Thanks for ...

Ginger - isn;t it a great sign? I have a ton of eyes up and showing too... and tipped all the pots a few weeks ago when it was thawing. Seems like spring is going to be early here after all.... that stupid groundhog seems to know his stuff!

I've decided to plant more deer resistant plants and shribs, and I liek the look of kalmias, but I don;t know if the deer will like them as much as I do. Add to that, the deer in my neighborhood don't seem to read the same lists that I do.... Anyway, does anyone grow kalmia and do the deer snack on ...

Hey Aud! They are doing really well! Thanks for asking. I have a couple of questions (issues) that I am reasearching, but that is part of the fun of growing stuff (imo) I love the research. Here are a couple of shots of my baby trays and a couple of close ups of some of the ones I have questions on ...

Gorgeous! And very talented photographer to get a great shot of that handsome guy!

Oh Charla... I am so sorry. We lost a dog to bloat many years ago - it is devastating for something like that out of the blue..... hugs to you and Champ

Thanks

Darn... and here I thought it was a World Series or NFL thread

I will be the first to admit, I've never been particularly successful with them. However, I was in the grocery a few of months ago, and saw a really pretty one with dark green foliage and magenta flowers. I usually buy a bunch of cut flowers for my master bath and toss them after a week, but this AV...

Beautiful! I have never tried vandas before, are they challenging? I have been successful with Phals and encyclias and have struggled with Cattlyas and hard cane dendrobiums. Where would you put vandas on the easy/hard to grow scale? Great growing and I would love to see that spike when it opens Alexa

I have a Hidden Cove in a trough and it produced 2 scapes. One is all green, and one is streaky green, white and pinkish. I will try to save the seeds from both, who knows it might be something interesting, but my question is which is the more normal for Hidden Cove? I will try to get a photo..........
