Jealousy isn't a strong enough word. Once again, IL sucks.

Same quince as before, I have never seen a bloom directly off of a sucker.

I’ll get another pic when it opens up.

Here is a double bloomer.

Come on down! Half of IL down here already.

Yeah, but they're probably in retirement homes. I'm not quite that old yet!!

 

[AZbonsai]

You would be surprised.

 

[Carol 83]

You would be surprised.

Ok, then, see you after the holidays.

My uncle did 2 years as ''mayor'' of Sun City. Sun City doesn't have a mayor, rather it is organized like a city size condo association. He was President of the Board for 2 years. Yep, a lot of Chicago people, including several of mine, in AZ

I get an amaryllis every year at Christmas, just so I have something flowering for the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[my nellie]

A very merry Christmas to you too, @Carol 83 !

Orange Peel Paph.

 

[atlarsenal]

Not such a good pic but here’s the bloom. I don’t know why this fascinates me so much, I’ve just never seen it happen.

@ABCarve - love the ''bulldog'' style paphs. They are a wild culmination of the hybridizer's art. A wild exaggeration of the ''lowly'' Paph villosum.

I love 'em all including the lowly villosum.....I'm a paph and phrag nut. Hybridizers???........Hmmm. I thought this one came from Mars.

 

[atlarsenal]

Not a flower but I thought I would share this cool looking fungus we have had on this elm stump for a couple of years.

All these never ending blooming azalea varieties they are coming out with. These were part of a dog with my local bonsai group earlier this year. May I believe. Flash was on in both shots. The pink one is really a nice red color

 

[cdefoe]

I waited until they are almost spent, but these are the remaining Mahonia (Oregon grape) flowers. By spring 2019 there will be small blue berries in their places that Cedar Waxwings love.

 

[ABCarve]

Foolin' with ideas for orchid pots. $4.00 Lowes Phal in a $50.00 pot. Hmmm....... I don't think the orchid people will like this idea.
