Yes we are expecting about 3 inches of snow tonight. My daughter, the one with 4-wheel drive, is in charge of getting her sister and I to church tomorrow.

I just looked at aridlands. OMG $10!! I'm glad I mentioned them. Now I can buy twice as many...

Got to share the enabling fun!

So glad you did (although Hubby may have a different take on this).

I just got to know that site too from other ATP members here..really contagious this enabling..but so much fun!

It didn't snow 3 inches last night, it snowed SIX. My daughter didn't make it down off her hill (chain broke). I spent an hour shoveling snow so she could get into my driveway but its still snowing so I will have to do it again.

One of the things I like about Reno is that it only snows an inch or so and that evaporates (low humidity) in a matter of hours. I can enjoy snow but I don't have to shovel snow. Hmmm... Seems to me I have shoveled a lot of snow this year.

Here's a couple pictures for you. The plant jammed up against the back door of my greenhouse is a ghost pepper. It needs some pruning but it always has peppers and I hate to cut them off before they are ripe.




That's a view of downtown Reno.

Lovely photos Daisy! The snow tricked you! When we first went to Reno, it was summer a few years back. We have not gone there or near Tahoe area during winter ever. Too chicken to put chains on our vehicles But we have lived in Canada for several years so tons of snow is a normal occurence, only thing is our area there is the plains, so no steep roads there, no chains needed but we do need to plug our vehicles when it gets to the negative temperatures, so we can still drive around with care.

And the last time we went to Reno, as we were trying to get to Tahoe, a lady rear ended us! So we had to travel back fast home! Jippers with our bumper precariously dangling!

Just a little more...new nepenthes leaf slowly trying to come out:

Something new growing at the center of this dormant Sarracenia purpurea: a bud?

Its a flower bud! YEH!!

Woohoo!!

: I hope you get blooms

Giving my two Nepenthes a chance to catch something if they can Bringing them outdoors for now, as temps are comfy warm, gently breezy without being too toasty hot

Pinguicula primulifora has adjusted well indoors after I got it last 14Feb2016! Blooms showing better now and some more buds forming:

Photo update 21Feb2016:

and a third bud coming up!

I love that delicate color Tarev!

Giving my Pinguicula primuliflora some outside warmth and sunshine while temps are still not too onerously hot, plus a chance to capture some gnats, there are a lot of gnats on the nearby succulent container. My first time to observe that apparently even the flower stalks are sticky, so the gnats are stuck there as well. Not sure yet if the leaves are back to its carnvore stage. Maybe the flower stalks compensates while the leaves are not yet ready to feed.

Tarev, I found some really nice pitcher plants last weekend, so tempted to buy them but I talked myself out of buying it because my hubby is starting to call me a plant hoarder

That's a nice dainty flower you got there!

Awww, tell him plant lover!!! Just one more!

Trying to get a photo of the little insect I gave my Nepenthes densiflora:
Lots of little red dots inside...


There it is! Hope it likes it!
