I thought that belonged on your list...


I know you put allot of energy into your projects and seem
to enjoy it...

I am addicted to my work like someone else might be
addicted to cigarettes or alcohol... I have fits if
I have to be without a keyboard (and access) for more than
48 hours...

Hey Lee,

Just a thought, clematis are vines as opposed to trees/shrubs and flowers generally aren't that big but photo below never the less.

Cheers,

Allan

those are so pretty...
I think those are the same ones my mother grew once upon
a time that were deep purplish blue, hanging from an arched
trellis... if those even come in that color... they look like
what she had once upon a time...

but those aren't the ones I was referring to as the 3ft. tall
round ball flowers on a stalk... (maybe they are onion flowers
as lee suggested - I'll hunt for a picture - unless you have one...)

Oh I should know what that purple one is Bell and I sure can't pull out a name at the moment!!

And Allan ... I absolutely LOVE Clematis ... took a few years but I fianlly got one growing up the fence in the back yard! It's a delicate lavendar variety.

I wish you had a digital camera... I'd love to see your flowers...

Sorry I've turned this from My Passion to My Plantings... Sorry Bell LOL

Bel - here is one of my passions. Plants. When I need to get away from it all, or just need time to think things through one thing I always do is grab some pots, potting soil, seeds or clippings and head out side. I have more passions that I'll share in the morning But this is definetely one of them.

My best,
Gary

not to worry... I love plants too...
I wish I had a greenhouse...
does anyone here have a greenhouse ??

I like all sorts of plants...

I don't know why but lately I enjoy a dish with a variety
of cactus and small gravel in a zen like smooth pattern
with a tiny rake... it's soothing to gently move the top layer
around ... originally it was just a large shallow pot bottom
with fine fine sand and a mini itty bitty rake for the swirling
and manipulating the sand into patterns... then cactus was added...
I should have put them in something else... I miss having JUST
my zen dish... it was sitting on a short bookcase with a water
fountain next to it... love the sound of water dripping from rocks...

It was a bulb... and probably in an area a little too shady, so I was getting some green but no flowers til like the 3rd year after I'd planted it. Each year now I get a lot more flowers so it's doing fine.

now that you mention it - it did take my moms more then 2 years...
I think it was 3 years... she was living in Virginia Beach, Virginia
at the time...

Getting back to the thread topic ... I had to think on this a bit first. Things I know I'm passionate about:

4. Reading ... especially sci/fi fantasy! Although with poor eyesite now it's getting harder to read a regular paperback book.

My site is messed up too, luckily the library here has a HUGE sci-fi/fantasy/horror section in Large Print. You should check that out, the books are bigger, but much easier to read. By the way, I loved your Liberty kissing Justice Avatar.

I've got it bell, it was probably an agapanthus.

See Pic:

Music, that is my passion, and my family of course! :baby:

I wish you had a digital camera... I'd love to see your flowers...

Who said I don't have one?? LOL I'll try to remember to grab a few shots of them this year.

Yea, I've thought about doing that ... just seems there's no time to go to the library and check into it! I find it much easier to read here on line on my big screen.

Glad you liked the avatar, I'll probably switch between the me and it avatar when I get that urge to move the furniture around in the living room again!

Sorry but I hate Mimosa
it is an environmental weed in Aus.

Cheers,

Allan

Eeek...so that great big 24 year old tree in my neighbor's yard that is taller than her house is a WEED? Pretty wierd...I guess it dosn't spread here, because there are only a few of them around, but they are covered with beautiful Magenta flowers that look like little feather dusters and they smell like passion fruit, so weed or not I really like them. Sorry they are such a pain in the ass in Australia, land of the creepiest creepies and crawlies..and hottest guys on earth

[AusCoding Allan]

What can I say but thanks for the compliment - we aussies know we're hot. We forgive you for the weeds that turn up in Australian and choke our natural habitats and we're sending snails to you in return!:p

It probably isn't a weed in the US, just watch it though, with all the climate change you might just have a problem on your hands.

Cheers,

Allan

Should I be worried that I've thought a couple times about what my answer in this thread would be and haven't yet been able to come up with anything conclusive?
