blooming now

9 years ago

Well, I can suddenly post, and without the problems I've been having in the past. Now I don't have much to post though.

Seedling, kind of a polychrome I think. It keeps putting out a scape just as the previous one stops. Pretty good though since there are only 3 fans of it. Not a lot of buds on this one, but it has been cooler & the blooms aren't opening as well. And just say to yourself "there are no weeds in that picture, there are no weeds"

Navajo Pony, I just got it last month, I was surprised to see it put out a scape, especially since it came from a northerly site. I meant to cut off the scape, but by the time I finally got ready to cut it I decided it had already put all the effort I might as well see it. Gorgeous big bloom-thanks Laura!

Westbourne Homestead is blooming too, and trying to double, I took a picture but don't know where it went.

Remember the 3 legged cat, we call him Casper the Ghost. He looks so much better than when he first showed up, but he went off again a couple of days ago. He had been here for 2 meals a day, and has missed 4 meals now.

    Thanks everyone, isn't Navajo Pony nice? It has a surprising number of blooms on it to be rebloom & traveled several states away. I've cut it back now though so to take no more energy from it than necessary. Broke my heart, but we've got cooler weather coming so I wouldn't get to see many anyway I think. The 3 I allowed to bloom though were all as nice as this. I'm wondering if the color will be as nice in warm weather though when it blooms at its normal time.

    Casper came back, he was gone 3 days, but apparently didn't miss many meals. I guess he has another cat loving family somewhere he needed to spend some time with. He is starting to come out and talk to me when he gets hungry, still doesn't get very close but will come out even when he knows I'm there. He did come closer than he intended yesterday & I touched him, he jumped back & gave me a really dirty look.

      I like your seedling, and Navajo Pony is very attractive! Casper is a cutie. Hope he comes back soon. I'm going to see if I can post now.

      Lovely blooms. Navajo Pony is very striking. I hope Casper returns soon. He is cute, glad he is looking better.

      So glad to see a photo of the kitty I have been following! He's a cutie for sure and looks healthy in spite of all he endured, thanks to you. Hopefully he just got sidetracked somewhere and will return soon. He knows where the good care and food is! Oh my....your picture of Navajo Pony is wonderful. Now I know for sure I need to get that one. Your seedling is very pretty too and I see no weeds, just a lovely backdrop for a pretty flower.

      So hoping your cat comes back home to you. Maybe he's just on the grand tour of fall gardens. He looks like such a sweetheart.....Like all your daylilies too......Maryl

      Very nice flowers Nancy.

    • 9 years ago

      I'm a Navajo Pony fan also! Nice for you to still have some blooms.

      Just now saw this post. Hey Casper! You're not what I expected color-wise; I've become so used to either blacks or grey tabbies - ha ha! What an elegant color you are, and your coat looks well groomed. Looking good, boy!

      Navajo Pony - whoa, there's a beauty, no mistake. Nice seedling - like those big wavy edges! Would like to see what WB Homestead looks like; will go google it.

      So glad to see Casper came back! He's a wary kitty.

      Here is Westbourne Homestead right now, not as pretty as it was earlier in the season, but I'll take any blooms at this time of the year. The eye usually is more distinct. Still quite a few buds on one scape.

      Casper is doing pretty well, every few days he does something to show he is gaining a bit more trust in me. This morning he let me get within a few inches of him. Then my knees started creaking & scared him :)

      He is sort of a buff tabby, you really have to look closely to see the tabby striping. I have an orange/ginger and white tabby that looks similar from a distance, but Casper is more pastel I guess

      Mocha, I think I've shown this photo before



    • 9 years ago

      OMG - I love Mocha's ruff! Well, since we're showing cat pics, here's one of my 'avatar' Samhain, on her leash walk. (You can just see the red leash in the grass beside her.) She's crouched on the walnut which I just threw for her to chase. She was named for the fact that she came to us on the night before Halloween. Samhain is the pagan name for Halloween, but also translates as "summer's end".

      LOL about the creaking knees. :)

    • 9 years ago

      Samhain is beautiful! I love a black cat, my very first cat was black so I have a soft spot for them. I gather from our humane shelter that black cats are had to adopt, but I can't understand it. But then, like daylilies, I love them all.

    • 9 years ago

      Yes, she's a beautiful girl. When we care for so many, I try not to show too much favoritism, but you notice she's the one I chose as my avatar. I call her The Queen of Snark. She has a funny way of greeting some of the others: first she licks their heads, then she gives them the "smacky-paw" right punch - LOL.

      Mocha must have some Maine Coon in her. Lovely cat. I hope Casper comes back home. He looks like a sweetheart. And I love Navajo Pony. A beauty.
