Marion - what a sweet photo - beautiful babies!

Nurk - you're a knucklehead! :icon_laugh: My hubby hasn't stopped laughing.

This "night bloom" photo was taken in my sister-in-law's garden. It's a flowering cactus and she held a flash light behind the bloom to get the effect. Reminds me of a sci-fi movie ...

My neighbor has a plant that blooms only once a year around Christmas, I think its called 'Star of Bethlehem.' (last year it didn't bloom, must be the drought)

[WildflowerNJ 136]

I will look that plant up, Ladywiz....I love the learning...

Here is what is called elephant ears. It is a bulb and can grow very tall. I ordered some and will plant them out by the big pond....they must be dug up in the Fall, though....cannot tolerate frost....they look so tropical!

I love elephant ears. My parents used to have them when I was growing up.

This would not let me paste the picture here for some reason. Just click the link. Is this how they do it in England? I'd be so confused! LOL

^ OMG! That would not work at all here in the land of idiot drivers, LOL!

Beth, those Elephant ears are beautiful. But they're not tasty like the fresh and hot ones I eat when I go to Seaside, Oregon. Yuuuummmm!

^ Those are so yummy!!

[WildflowerNJ 136]

Yummmm, Sharon!! That looks really good!! It reminds me a little of what we have around here...funnel cakes. You sprinkle them with powered sugar, too....

We have a pair of Great Horned Owls living in the trees around our house! We can hear the hooting inside the house faintly. It's very cool. When we take the dogs out at night, we have seen them fly off. Its wingspan must be 4 feet! They hide very well during the daylight. I have looked and looked during the day and never see a thing. The other night we thought we might have heard babies. Hopefully, they teach them how to fly at night...when these dogs are inside in their beds. Here is a professional photo of one:

Wow! He's beautiful. Teresa, you have so much cool nature stuff going on around your place.

[WildflowerNJ 136]

Teresa, that is so cool you have baby owls. I know we have some owls here, too. I used to hear them in that big tree in front of the house. I loved hearing them who-who-who-ooooo....I miss that.....I miss that tree....

These grape hyacinths are coming up all over my property...I started with just a few and have divided and planted them all over. They look so delicate in a small vase.....ahhhh Happy Spring! :sun_smiley:
