Comments (7)pk93 the bloom on your paph is typical of one just beginning to open, not declining. When they decline, they just fall off and still are plump and pretty. If it is going to blast early, the stem holding the bloom starts to shrivel right in the area just below the bud. A paph wants to be damp all the time but not soggy and they do need air around the roots so good drainage is important. The healthy roots do take on the color of the media and if actively growing, the tips are white. If the tips aren't white but still firm, they are still good roots and feed the plant. Paph roots will not divide and are naturally "hairy". Hopefully your leaves will rehydrate and the bloom will continue. If you lose the first bloom, the second bloom could still survive. If this happens, you should be arrested for stealing from Lowes but we won't tell :>) Brooke...See MoreWell, Guess what I got in the mail today?
Comments (13)On a walk behind type of mower, not self-propelled--what does horse-power have to do with cutting grass? HMMM?? Will .5 additional H.P. have any appreciable effect on the power of the machine? Oh, yes, maybe if the operator runs it into 6 ft. high grass that has never been mowed, or cut in any way. Maybe the additional .5 of H.P. will allow the blade to turn 4 more times before it gets stalled out by the thick grass? I have always thought that stating the amount of H.P. was just an advertising gimmick, meant to fool the average homeowner into thinking he might have something much better than his neighbor! now, if the H.P. rating was being used to make a self-propelled mower move along better--well--how much faster would it move, and could the person using it keep up with it? Go figure-- And, as for the goof driving the motor home, who thought they could get up out of the drivers seat and go fix lunch, while under way (That means moving along) should be in the "funny farm", not in court! I drive a motor home, and we've often said we would be able to do that, but only said it in jest (jokingly) as i consider us, my wife and I, to be smarter than to try that, even though we might get enrichened by some smart lawyer. ;o)...See MoreSomeone Has Got to Know...I HOPE
Comments (21)Thanks Dot, you know what I've been through, your emails sure brought me bits of laughter through some of my tougher times, not to mention all your GORGEOUS flower pixs! Thanks for your vote on Lav. Blue Baby. This one resides in my bonus bed and just started blooming a week ago. My tet and dip versions are well established and marked in the main bed so looks like I've got xtra now! Only time will tell to see whether tet or dip pods form in order to figure out the ploidy. any other suggestions for the others are welcomed! Thanks y'all!

Comments (101)gibsona, I'm glad the pig arrived in one piece. I'm also glad my friend cathy's lovely little box arrived at its destination too - she is off on vacation in CA and we'll post her bank when she gets home. She's led our local art camp for about 12 years now, so doing it with the camp tile was a perfect choice for her. I got back from Italy in the wee hours of the morning and I just dropped in to see if it got to you --- now I'm off to the post office and pick up my bank!!...See Morebill_vincent
