We Don't Like Ike

Here's a more recent picture of my lisianthus. Isn't it pretty with all those purple blooms? I was having second thoughts about it when it started drooping, but its resurrection has impressed me.

My Sarah Bernhardt peony. Should I maybe plant it in the ground if I want it to get a whole lot bigger?

The dianthus that Granny thought she'd killed. It doesn't exactly look like it did, but at least it's got green!

I love it when the sedum start to bloom. The red/pink/fuschia colors all look so good with the pale green foliage. This is the most striking contrast.

Our two goofballs.

Case in point.

And not only does she peek at us out of the sink -- she's HOMICIDAL!!

That would actually be a great punk band name: Homicidal Kitty.

Hurricane Fever

Boooooooo Gustav!! I tell you, that's one name I'll never give to my children now. That and Katrina. And probably Rita, which is just a shame, since I like the name.

Anyway.

I'm sorry I've been lazy for so long about updating. Like I told Mom tonight, it's been kind of a "bloom lull," so it's been hard for ADD Girl to get excited about posting. Terrible.

However, that hasn't stopped me from taking pictures. Here are some older ones that I just couldn't pass up sharing.

The lisianthus is now blooming again from this new stalk that's grown up and pushed out the old one. I was wondering why it was tipping like that. ;)

The last stalk of my Wine and Roses when it was budding. So pretty!

Kind of blurry, but sooo pretty!

The last of my little Siloam Reds. At least that's what I'll call them since I don't know their real name.

These pansies will definitely make a reappearance next spring. I love the color.

Now we're up-to-date.

This is the succulent that Reba gave me before she left. It's doing this crazy reaching thing. Not sure what to make of it.

My pink African violet is blooming again. They've been taking turns. The white-with-purple-edges is recuperating now.

And the girls. Eating some wet cat food. So funny! Elphie just doesn't seem to be growing too fast anymore. But then, I see her every day.
