How much rain did we get out of that? Not sure what they got in that area if any, but when I turned onto the road that my BR lives on, it started to mist. And before I got to his place a mile down the road, it had stopped.
I had to get the pictures of it.

On second glacier pic you can see two tiny spots that are fishing boats (for size comparison). I can officially say should you ever come to AK and want a glacier cruise the 26 glacier cruise is great. The shorter cruises are more like dinner cruises. They even served fresh chocolate chip cookies :) and picked up glacier ice from the ocean and made 26 glacier margaritas from it, on the rocks. It's a pretty cool cruise that leaves from Whittier. |

Someone in Florida wants 2 things on my trade list, and so far and can only pick one off from their's...LOL
Not a lot of things from Florida would winter over here.
He does have some ginger, so I may have to read up on the different kinds he has and see if they would be ok here in the house. |

| Most of the gingers don't mind shade so long as they get bright light. But, you can just dig them up before winter and store in a cool dry place over the winter. If you get the Hedychiums, they bloom on new growth, so you would have blooms every year. |

Oh and way back before memorial day I had changed holidays with the guy who works when I'm off. I would work his memorial day if he would work my labor day that lands in my vacation.
The company changed our hours around and the hours did work out for him, so he has now transfered to a different house.
Before I went off rotation, I was told I was responsible to work labor day...right in the middle of my vacation! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I talked to another girl, and she said she might be willing to take it.
When I got back I had a message from my manager telling me that she had found someone to take that holiday, (what do you want to bet it is the girl I talked to), and that we have another training that we have to go to.
My son asked when they are going to get the idea that I am out of down most of my rotation off? Good question, because the call came in on friday! grrrrrrrr
OK, going to get the list |

| Jean, my work and managers are all totally aggravating..
If it wasn't for my clients and my benifits, I would have left there.
I was kind of looking to see what they had up where my BF lives for work for me, but the way the economey is, I'm better off just staying here and dealing with it as I know I have a stable job here. Son works in the Shopko office here and 35 people were just let go. I told him that didn't surprise me. He said "but they let all the good ones go and kept the idiots! I said, "lower pay for those idiots.
My cell is emergency only...so they will never get that, unless they want to pay for it.
OK, here is the list...Remember, it will spend most of it's time if not all at my BF's house, and at times he is not the best at watering house plants :(
Now that he his not working though, he does better.
Bloodflower
Asclepias curassavica
Pindo Palm
Butia capitata
Umbrella Plant
Cyperus involucratus
Daylily
yellow...YES!! taking that one. But I can pick 2 as I am sending 2 thinks to him.
Daylily
Orange...Looks just like my older ones
Elephant Ear
Rough Horsetail
Equisetum hyemale
Horsetail, Scouring Rush...NO I don't want this one!!!!!!!

Hedychium coronarium
Oakleaf Hydrangea
Hydrangea quercifolia
Golden Rain Tree
Koelreuteria paniculata

Boston Fern

Peacock Ginger

| The H. coronarium is the Hawai'ian white butterfly ginger. It is actually from India, but that is the common name. You can put it in the ground where it gets morning and evening sun and it will bloom like a fool. Before the first freeze, you can dig it up and store it in the basement to replant in spring. The Peacock is not cold tolerant, it would have to come inside where the temps do not go down to 32. Probably the same for the shampoo ginger. The A curassavica is also a very tender tropical from So America...it would require potting up or seed collecting.
I can send you some H coronarium and some H coccineum (scarlet ginger lily.) I have dark orange and pale coral and it won't cost you a trade. Grin That way you can get 2 yellow day-lilies if you want. |

I have lots of seeds, and I'm always looking for homes for them.
GrammyJo is going to take a number of them off my hands.
But my Pink peony poppy has about a thousand seeds to one pod head. Sheeesh, that makes for a lot of Peony Poppies!
Wait till you see the vine I am trying to find a home for. The person who gets it will have to live close by. I'm not about to send it. Will have to go download that picture. |

I usually bag the seed head and wait for it to dry and open, or sometimes when I check on them they are open, and then I take a container out by them and pick the open seed pod off and put it the container and take it in by the table to finish opening them to get the seeds out.
Actually Jim, I think the poppy probaby has the snallest seeds.
As far as I'm concerned, this one has the smallest.

| Hi Jean, in A.Graf "Tropica" the description for Curcuma siamensis says: compact habit, leaves 30-40 cm with a depressed yellowish mid-rib; green-cupped lower bracts, topped by concave bracts of creamy pink.
If you Google Curcuma, you can find a photo of your plant by Dave Skinner at GingersrUs listed as |

| Very pretty Jean. The closest that I have to that is this one.
I have 2 of these reds so far that have bloomed, and the rest are mostly orange...but I might get a pink one if the guy in florida finds his
And he offered me different kinds of ginger too.

| Hey! My epithet didn't load.
Jean, there should have been Curcuma rhabdota listed on that last post. I believe that is your plant. |

| Okay. Trying to get a bit of house work done while it is 30%-ing outside and the TV is on HGTV in the other room. I hear them talking about pin stripe gray flannel and my ADD brain jumps to 1956 movie THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT. I was five when it came out, and think we saw it at the drive-in when I was 8 or 9. I was trying to remember who portrayed the title character and just couldn't get a picture , I went to imdb.com and searched. It was Gregory Peck. While I was looking at the cast of characters, I noticed that they include everyone in the cast, speaking and non speaking, even walk-ons. DeForrest Kelly, "Bones" of Star Trek fame was in this movie...he was not on the screen credits, but he is listed in the movie credits. His role...MEDIC...boy was he type cast early on????
Oh, kitchen's clean and I had a good time...grin |

| It is about 4 years old Rachel. Has been moved once, and think it may need to be relocated one more time as the gingers, ferns and Clerodendron are encroaching on it and shading it a bit more than I would like. I just love the blue blazing against the orange.
Thanks Dave, duly noted and hopefully i will remember where I wrote it. |
