Looks like the cacti are taking advantage of the milder weather to do some serious growing.emma glitch wrote:So how about more cactus? Remember Cactus Critter? He has a new buddy. And opening blossom on another stem? Branch?
The first P-38 entered service in 1941, but I'm not sure when that particular plane was built or how long they were in production. A lot of fire-power on those planes. I've heard tales of them literally cutting Zeros in half with their guns. The Japanese referred to them as "fork-tailed devils".RJDiogenes wrote:So just after WWII?

Yeah, and I think they may be waiting for me to go away before they bloom again.RJDiogenes wrote:Looks like the cacti are taking advantage of the milder weather to do some serious growing.emma glitch wrote:So how about more cactus?

I've been prowling around with my camera, hoping for a good shot of an open bloom, but after the first one that I missed, so far just buds large and small. Yea, I'm seeing the same thing. Everyone's photos show up just fine EXCEPT Luppy's..Madeliaette wrote:

Those are good ones.lastly, my mom and her mom with pets in tbe past... yu can see where our street was still being built and this house was the end of it - they built another one going up at the end, then stuck afew more houses in between to join them up!
It's fascinating to see how different familiar places were in the past. I usually like the old version better.Madeliaette wrote:As you can see the rose bush is still there - but MUCH larger these days! and it is interesting to see the street before the end of it was built...
How long before you can sample the wine? Sounds like something I'd like. Yep, I missed them. It's hard to tell the buds about to bloom from those that just did, and I'm getting better at it, but I didn't have the time to prowl when they were ready.emma glitch wrote:Yeah, and I think they may be waiting for me to go away before they bloom again.
