Wish I could be there!!
We were yesterday in Pennsy, making sure we had electricity for the hunters and bought a new screen door. The weather was most miserable with snow squalls, so we decided to drive home the same day. Well - that truck which spilled the mountains of boxes with Tomatoes early in the morning onto rt 80 just before the Delaware Water Gap had caused a 10 mile backup which was still going strong by late afternoon. Detour didn't help, because a bridge was in repair. Oh well!
Busy today, dropped off another bucket of Fish at the Aquarium store. The fellow actually sounded happy to see me as they had sold most of the previous babies. Got the next batch of fish food as a trade, I was happy!
Took pictures today, will download them now.

Here's my day. http://forum.crazyorchidlady.c... I'll be over soon, Jim with my new hybrid buying shoes so we can all go to Apopka. Sorry to hear of your traffic jam Ursula. Hate that!

WOW! Kathy! beautiful link. What fun you had!
What's going on here is rose planting! Mostly climbers. Brushwood in Georgia sent the most beautfiul healthy plants I think I have ever received via mailorder. Awaiting another shipment from Hortico. They ship from the US though they are Canadian growers.
We shall see....
Sadly, cutting down the garden, had a hard time letting go of the still green Agastache! Garden withdrawal.......

I spent the day mulching the roses with my son. The garden is officially to bed!

Turning my attention to the Semps now. So fascinating to see the color changes. We shall see how they do this winter.

Fall Camellia peeking thru the bare branches of a Magnolia

Went a bit rose crazy this Fall. It's always something... Mostly Climbers...
Still have bulbs to get in.
Lindsey, Lowe's has been so GREAT this Fall, hasn't it?
Got a bunch of wonderful Amaryllis..one has 3 stalks now! And their perennial sale was amazing. Big healthy plants, Perovskia, Penstemon, Coreopsis, Lamb's Ear, etc.(averaged $2.00 per plant!).

Ursula, did the deer leave? (just was looking back in the thread)

Here's another of the same Camellia in its first year here

Yes Janice, it's been incredible at Lowes...I'm not sure why they were getting so
many plants. but at my 3 stores, some of the plants were coming off the truck and
going straight to the mark down area because there was no room for them any where
else.
Janice, did you see that picture I posted of the Blc. Trick or Treat that you gave me?
It's gorgeous! Thanks again.

You are so welcome, Lindsey!
No, I'll go look. Is it recent?

Found it! Beautiful, Lindsey!! The others are wonderful, too.

Janice, the Fall Camellia is very pretty!
Yes, the Deer were gone the next day and not to be seen again. I hope they found their way to the area around the Saddle River, which I suspect is their home. If they would have gotten into trouble, I would probably have heard about it. Gosh, they sure were gorgeous!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Orchid Family!!!
I was taken aback when I walked on the front porch today to find the Sweet Autumn Clematis covered with seedpods. I almost think it is more beautiful than the flowers!
Blessings to you all and your family, too.

Thanks you Janice and best wishes to you and your family as well. Above all, be safe. It is a great day to count blessings.

Jim

That is pretty!!
Happy Thanksgiving back!!
