I'm thinking possible 40's

this is what zebra grass looks like.

me!!! When we were looking for houses, one of the first questions I would ask was ... did anyone die in this house. :shok:

we have a cherry tree that hasn't leafed out yet, and it is not dead, limbs are very plyable. don't know what the problem is :-/

right under the flower

I think they are lacking nutrients. give them some epson salts.

the two middle ones are calla lily's. canna's are tropical, you must plant them every year.

It's too early to plant stuff here. i always waited till the last week of May or the 1st week of june.

I really like the sago palm. I had one for years, then when I had my back surgery, i couldn't water it and it died :'( i also got cut on it many times!!!

Wow!!!! I was almost 8 when that flood happened. i remember the sulfer creek flooding and roads being closed.

Willow tree

we planted myrtle on our 1 bank and it is doing really well. on the driveway bank we are going cactus...it stays green all year and it spreads.

I got asked today at work about this, so I looked it up and found it interesting. How Pussy Willows Got Their Name According to an old Polish legend, many springtimes ago a mother cat was crying at the bank of the river in which her kittens were drowning. The willows at the river's edge longed to help her, so they swept their long graceful branches into the waters to rescue the tiny kittens who had fallen into the river while chasing butterflies. The kittens gripped on tightly to their branches and were safely brought to shore. Each springtime since, goes the legend, the willow branches sprout tiny fur-like buds at their tips where the tiny kittens once clung. Another version goes: A farmer, annoyed that his barn cat had just given birth to another litter of kittens, decided that his farm had enough mouths to feed. He put the newborn babies in a feed sack, went down to the riverbank and threw the kittens in the water to be rid of them. In the turbulence of the fast moving river, the tie on the sack became loosened which set the kittens adrift. On the riverbank witnessing this horrible sight, the distressed mother cat wept loud and pitifully. A cluster of willow bushes, along the riverbank downstream, heard her cries and in sympathy held out their branches like mooring lines. This enabled the desperately floundering kittens to grab hold as they drifted by. Now in mythology, when the life we are assigned on earth is doomed but because the spirit is eternal, myth dictates that the spirit can live on but must be in another earthly form. Because the kittens were destined to die, but their spirits were saved, they then became part of the willows which had saved them. Ever since then, in Spring, the willow-without-a-flower decks itself out in gentle velvet buds that feel to the fingers like the silky coat of a small cat. These buds are known today as catkins and remarkably, in every country, these soft willow trees are named after cats.

That is pretty!!! I have grown regular morning glories and they bloomed, but they really aren't all that interesting to me. I like vibrant colors, and things that are different ... if that makes sence.

LOL...I will tell him, but we live right next to the hwy!!!!

The squirrels are well fed around here. They are the size of a small Chihuahua. I buy food just for them, and they also eat the bird seed. So thats why I think it's the rabbits. I will buy some blood meal tomorrow.

no deer. lots of rabbit tracks ... we have a herd of rabbits in our yard. Also have some squirrels, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't eat holly. So we are thinking it's the rabbits.

Will putting blood meal around them help? The got the one bush pretty much eaten down, will it come back?

sounds like a bromeliad to me.

My grandmother was from Mason Hill, near Driftwood.

My moon flowers didn't bloom till 2 weeks ago. I didn't do anything to them this year. Just pulled them out of the basement, put in the sun, watered and waited. Didn't think they would bloom, because it took forever, but finally they did. I didn't take and pics of them either

I hope it kills off all the goldenrod!!!!
