remember you do not have to take the challenge :

Hm. I'm going to think about this, but I don't think I can conjure 2 U's.

I'm interested... but no have plants that spell out AUGUST ...not even close to that spelling....
so, put a question mark by my name...

Sign me up, I love a challenge.

Count me in! Need to put my thinking cap on! Hmmmm?

If we think of a plant, may we share ideas?

So it doesn't necessarily have to be the plant itself that starts with the letter, it can be the variety of the plant?

Could U stand for unknown? or unregistered? How about underplanting ,like the tiny Hostas that I hide under taller plants to give them shade? A suggestion for A could be Astilbe. Let's put our thinking caps on and share ideas and thoughts. I need a little more fun in my life.

Never Know How many Of these we can find in our Gardens : & a few other surprises :) Maybe a few Autumn colors :) UNO's :)

Pennie took de to his apt this morning so i stayed her to be alone ,
3 more days leaving sunday Morning for orlando spend the night flight leaves at 10 am or about . soooooooooooooooooooooooo glad to get home :)

I just dug up some bulbs Think they are amaryilla Not sure going to ship them home tomorrow so they will be there by time i get there :)))
ya all have great day BBL

Oh Susie you're only an hour from me in Cocoa Beach when you are at the airport. If you ever visit FL during the winter, we'll have to meet!

Went looking at our local nursery today. Found more ideas! :)

evening all can anyone tell me what these are ? Dug them up today here at my brothers place going to ship them home tomorrow so they will be there when i get there :). De dose not know what they are & he says they might be purple/or pink .so Naked lady / or amaryilla ?? maybe .

Mittsy I TRULY do not wish to come back ,This heat /humidity is tearing me up . I have vertigo from it been taken Dramamine since i have been here .

well i need to make a call so you all have a nice eve chat more tomorrow .
I found a few Great Plants today also :)

Winter doesn't have the heat and humidity. My guess on the bulbs would be rain lilies or Amaryllis. Sorry you have to medicate to tolerate the climate.

Gm may not be on much today but will check back in later today .
have a great day all

DJ, it's "funny" how our bodies become adapted to our climate. I've always lived in the heat and humidity of Coastal Mississippi, but put me in a cold and/or dry climate, and I get sick! Can't breath...Stuffy...
Hope you feel better!

I'd like to do this too. :)

Mmm..so far, I have:

A (Angelonia Amaryllis, Asiatic Lily, Agapanthus, African Cape Daisy, Alliums)
U (Unknown Irises)
G (Gazania, Gladiola, 'Grape Ripple' Daylily)
U ...?
S (Shasta Daisy, spider lily, 'Sonata Pink' Cosmos, Sonatini Amaryllis 'Balentino', Sunflowers, Spinach, Sage)
T (Thyme, Tomatoes, 'Tutti Fruiti Pink' Butterfly Bush)

Moonjala, you are doing well! Now who wants to fight me for her box? LOL

OoOo..Froggy..your stuff is kickass..it would be awesome to get you. :)

save a few surprises for me also :)))) last day here at de's :) so we are going to do his rugs before we leave :) will be back later this eve ya all have a great day .

Whoever I get will most likely get a Butterfly Bush (Tutti Fruiti Pink) as part of their 'AUGUST' - I just pulled the 'plant' out of the pot to discover 4 decent sized plants together. So..I get to share the love quite easily. :)

Moon no room in my suit case to take it back with me :))) sounds nice though :)today is last day here at De's just got the carpets cleaned for him not sure how long they will stay that way :(.

Susie, your vacation has been a working one if ever there was one, lol.

yup gotta go home to get rested up that for sure :) his wife passed away about 5 yrs ago & his girlsfriends won't clean for him so figure i better while I'm here :) rather be in a garden ya know but that ain't going to happen here :(

Susie, Maybe De needs to find a more cooperative girlfriend lol. One that will at least help out while he is getting back on his feet. Just saying...
