Kristy,

Lovely tat. I was going to get one years ago but never got around to it. Some people say to go on and get one but don't think hubby would be too happy about it. :(

Pond is looking good with plants. I see that Waldo II already has some buddies. ;)

The brug bloom with separate petals, is that normal for the plant or is it just one bloom?

And Wow! look at that pink flush. That is amazing looking. How many blooms is on it? I've never seen one in person with that many blooms. Superb job.

Deb

With my eyes still a little closed I thought what is she talking about a tattoo plant? WEll Kristy my eyes are open now lol. Did you always want one? Does this one mean something special? with a second look I now know WHERE it is lol. You are brave!
I guess seeing all the beauty from the full flush and all the other blooming flowers, takes your mind off of your tattoo pain? Doesn't it hurt?

Deb I hope one day you will have one that does a real big flush for you.

Lucy

P.S. Good morning everybody and have the best day possible!

The pond is shaping up and the moonflower vine is doing great. Everything else looks great too. Woohoo a tramp stamp! lol That must have HURT!!!!!! I'd have to be under anesthesia to have that done.
Karyn

Your brugs are beautiful. That is a cool tat and the color still looks nice. Here we call them sl*t stamps LOL! I really like the Tribal ones. I bet that hurt! I'd have to be totally sh*tfaced like I was when I got my navel pierced lol.
The pond is looking great.

Hey Kathy,
You're tempting me to start a flower tattoo post. I have almost have of my back in flowers for years now and I love mine. THat dark pink bloom looks amazing.
I just bought some moonvine seeds, should I plany them now in Fl or will they die in the winter? I would reallylike to plant them now.

Everything is looking so pretty! I really like the tat!
What a nice flush!! I can't wait till I get one like that.
When you take the brug blooms and put them in a vase how long do they last?

Nice Tat! I love it...I haven't heard of Miz Scarlet before sure is pretty tho!!! You are getting a nice flush on the one there ..Everything looks great!!!

Very pretty and I like your tat too. LOL. I made a funny.
All of these pond pictures are making me want a pond

Kristy

The pond is looking good! Plants - great, of course! :) Tats - I don't have one. Wonder if there's a brug or datura tat?? lol! Also - you've given me an idea for a few raised beds in the back yard next year. The dogs - well, they're just going to have to 'move over!' lol!

Mike

Kristy, how did you get your brug bloom in the pot? mine in the pot never bloom. should I feed it some thing? I like your tatoo too, very pretty. A girl in my work got a tatoo yesterday, a dragon on the whole side of her thigh. it does'nt sound pretty but it is, she paid a lot of money for it; she called skin art ;)

I got the tattoo a long time ago when I first started having all these problems with my back and was feeling bad about my self. My best friend talked me into it and yes it hurt like crap. The girl getting one beside me actually passed out. The tattoo guy said I don't know why everyone wants one there. It hurts worse than anywhere else. I wanted mine there so I could only show it if I wanted to. People that know me now are amazed that I have one if they happen to see it, lol. Hong if you give it a good size pot and feed it a lot with fish emulsion and bloom booster and water it a lot it will bloom. Oh, I got my belly button pierced way back then too but I had to take it out. It kept catching on my clothes and nearly ripped all the way out. I kept that plant growing over the winter last year. Not all the blooms are seperate petals like that but I found a few that were. They only last over night in the vase. It may have opened back up the next day but I had to chunk them out they smell so strong I couldn't breath in here. This one will have to go dormant this winter. If it blooms like that in the garage I'll choke to death, lol. Miz Scarlett is what Brenda is calling her dark pink seedling. It got really dark. Nearly red. Yes Waldo ll has buddies. I love frogs, lol. I moved them from the flower bed. You couldn't see them there. I kept trying to count the flowers but there were too many sticking every which way, lol. I don't know but its a lot. Been blooming for a few days now. I wanna see your flower tats Bri. They just had on the news they are collecting food and clothing down the street from me for the shelters in Killeen for the hurricane victims still here. There are over a thousand with no home left to go back to. I am broke at the moment but have plenty of food so gonna run gather up some of the can stuff and some clothes I can't fit my tatooed rear into and run them down there before work. Have a wonderful day you all. I'll check back in later.

Anyone notice the individual petal pic of that one bloom? I have found a few more. It has such a strong recurve I didn't notice it until I looked at each flower and was looking for it. Instead of the points curling back like some do the whole petals curl back on those.

Wow nice flush,everything looks great,I love the tat!The pond is looking good,I want one now,they are so pretty and you can do so many things with them.I will start working on my darling hubby,OH Hunny!!!!lol. Great job Kristy

Kristy,
All your plants look great! and what a nice flush!
I really like your raised beds too.

Karen

everything looks great Kristy!!!

I am still in Louisville working. I sit on the patio, at my hotel, every evening, with a good cigar, reading all of your posts. Its a great way to end the day! Thank you, all. I haven't put in my 2 cents very often, because it is a pain in the (don't let the door hit you in the...) to post, using my iPhone. I keep coming back to this thread, though, and I can not remain silent any longer.

I think that tattoos, on a woman, are one of God's wonderful little gifts... so, Kristy, thank you for sharing. Additionally, I would like to cast my vote, in the affirmative, for the following:

For Bri to share her tats.

For Deb to get that tat... hubby just doesn't want to admit that he loves them.

For Sultry to share her belly-button ring (another of His gifts).

LOL... But I mean it!

Oh yeah... I love the pond, Kristy. I have always wanted to put in a pond, but I just don't know where to put it. Also, I am so afraid that it will not be perfect... I am way anal about my gardens... never satisfied. And I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the water balanced correctly... I have enough trouble with the "ceement pond"! Perhaps, one day, I will get over my fears... Did I mention that I love the tat?

Bob

Pretty pinks and love that red. Finally Texas has started to cool down.

Now comes my pretty time for 6-8 months. I lived through another coastal summer.
