Welcome. I am new this place as well, hailing from Illinois. I think it will be great fun to see what information/discussions will be posted regarding your subjects. I find them interesting, but don't have much knowledge in those areas. It will be good learning for me.

Welcome Julio. I have loved plants since I was a child as well. There were many a day that my mother was frustrated with me bringing plants home and finding them a sunny spot in one of her windows. Alas, I have my own windows and yard to fill up now.

Hello from Quincy, Illinois! I am new to this so you may have to bear with me a bit. I have always loved plants and recently started a small gardening experiment of my own.
I look forward to reading the posts and see what kind information is out there. I also look forward to being able to help others with questions, if I can.

A great group of photographs. There certainly seems to be lots of babies around your allotment.

Thanks again, I have not sniffed the Casablanca Lilly, its on my wish list. I just got a Himalayan Lilly, but it will take 7 yrs to bloom from what I understand. But I figured its gotta start sometime. I hoping my start of Clerodenron Wallichi (sp) will get going this year. I do have some long shots of my yard that I still have to download b4 to long. Just gotta find the time.

Well come on then, I have lost some over the last couple years for one reason or another. I decide to recount this afternoon an not counting repeats, it wound up being 91. Some just wouldn't be happy where I would put them an croak on me, drought would also be a problem. I mostly have the antique/heirloom with a few hybrids an Buck roses. I didn't use to be fond of roses til I was introduced to the oldies. They are time travelers in a sense an some date back to b4 Christ. Maybe its the history behind them that intrigues me, I don't know. The air is like purfume when they are all blooming at once when I walk around.

Josh is a very handsome young man.

The first picture is absolutely beautiful. Looks like it could be a post card.

hahaha... what a ham! That Oriole really does like the limelight, doesn't he. What a hopeless show-off---and he's got something to show, alright. It's a gorgeous thing.
I'm glad you posted these.

Day before yesterday I was working on the peas and I was surprized to hear this loud blowing sound behind me! It was the swan family. They had glided up behind me when I wasn't looking and the father wasn't taking chances with me so he did his aggressive act.
Well it doesn't work with me, afterall it's MY lottie, not theirs.
I went right away and got the camera and took some fotos as did my partner. Here are the results.
They are magnificant beasts...but they must stay in the canal heh heh heh.
Swans in a row:

Feeding:

Dad guards the rear as they withdraw.
Dad finally moving on:

Too cute! I'd sure like to look out my window and see an Oriole. I've never seen one.
