@crimsonblu22 only banned on my board for larping mothmen.

My son won a photography contest with this a few years back. They used it in a calendar.
America! Where you have the right to be wrong.

@nuleafjhawk beautiful!

@nuleafjhawk Jealous! Fabulous shot! Well deserved.

Today I want to show off the Jayhawk my late husband made for me, welding different parts of tools and spades and just about everything else you can imagine. Came home to find this one day and it still reminds me of him every day! It needs a touch up paint job.

I've been planting the rest of my garden today so a little late in my picture for today. This is a bloom from a tropical plant from Hawaii called Plumeria. It was given to me by a neighbor 20 years ago who loved Hawaii and he gave me a starter stalk after separating the main limb off of one of his. It's such a fabulous addition to my landscape. The bumblebees especially cater to it. It's been repotted through the years and always tucked away during the winter with an old bath robe of the girls wrapped around it's bowl to keep the cold away. It's about 5 feet tall now and has 4 separate arms off the main stalk. Can't wait to see more blooms.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 wow! U leave it outside w/just a robe on? I had one of those once, couldn’t keep it alive. Gorgeous
-
@crimsonblu22 no it goes in the greenhouse with the robe around it in there.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Our kids and grandkids live on Maui. I watched my son making plumeria leis from flowers he picked last Christmas for the nurses who work at the health facility where my DIL is CEO. She and my son always do a major bake as well for the office Christmas party. The streets where they live are just flooded with plumeria trees and it is spectacular!
Never realized how much work it would be to grow one in the contiguous states. Congrats!

I had great videos of all the hummingbirds last night getting their last drinks in but it says my files are too large (at 10 seconds of video each) so I wanted to share a photo of another part of my landscape, wild iris. At one time they lined the whole of the garden (which is basically the whole back yard) and they would bloom like crazy. Only have a few left after the 2021 freeze and have some left that I repotted to get them out of the ground. The only problem with them being outside was the deer always took the blooms before I could get a whole wall shot, so this one will have to do.
