Did I mention my red cactus an my yellow cactus lately?
The are in the kitchen on the window sills when the weather permits.
So cute how they stay the same color all year around.

I had 2 but they gave up the ghost.

What does that mean? Gave up the ghost?

died

hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Never heard that lingo in my area.

It's from the Bible, Luke 23:46. Also somewhere in Mark I think.

You must have a different version on luke 23/46

Mine says Father Into my hands I commend my spirit..

Were all different I suppose.

I read the King James version

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost

anyway, my cactus died.

Sheri,. I seem to lose any cactus I try to grow also---

I have cactus plants I started from seeds say 15 years ago.. Still growing an d I was going to toss them.
They are simple plants.

Maybe I can grow them cause I am simple also.LOL

Heavens no, do not toss them, Barb. They are beautiful. Plus after 15 years they are sorta like part of your house, so you cannot get rid of them....

NOT THE ONES I SHOWE..
These are in a different pot an not looking too shrewd.. I didn't repot them cause they jagg.

If I think of it I will get a photo.

Hey Sheri I took cuttings of the forsthy. shrub outside today.
I put them into water now an we will hide an watch.

I was outside today but forgot to get a cutting. I'll do it tomorrow.

I have some type of cactus living outside and it lives through summer and winter in the same spot. Those cute ones with the pretty colors didn't do well for me. I think I over watered. I had them on my screened in porch so maybe they didn't get enough sun. I don't know.

and dodge, you are anything but simple!!!!!!

It's raining AGAIN so I'll get a picture of the cactus tomorrow. And do my forsythia cutting tomorrow. Should have done it yesterday while the sun was shining.

As far as cactus, I didn't realize a perennial would live through freezing weather.

I just ordered this form QVC. Cottage Farms 3pc Flutterby Multi Color 3-in-1 Butterfly Bush. You can look it up and see a picture. I've got 2 big flower pots I'm going to plant in.

Sure Sheri,
Perennials galore in my yard.. Tulips, hyacinth,lilys, daffys, different grasses, roses, grapes, Jacobs Ladder, many Christmas type shurbs, ..
Yes they are the ones who survive in our cold 5 zone.. an many more..Cant thing of them all at the present...

Have you been getting seed catalogs there a lot? I am .. Before Christmas too.

I meant to say cactus dodge - I didn't realize a cactus would live through freezing weather.
