The First Promised Blossom
This lovely Sarcocaulon bloom seems to have petals like a poppy, which surprised me because I didn’t know what to expect. It is lovely.
The African violet was part of a family in one pot. The family gave up and I was able to rescue this one portion of the plant. So this one is a bit of a triumph. Here it is sitting on my window sill. Since the other promised blossoms are not open, I thought I’d give you a look at one of my African violets, which is in bloom.
Thank you for reading my ‘blog and commenting on it!
Waiting For Flowers
Remember me? It’s been quite some time since I posted anything on my ‘blog. Katie is re-instructing me, once again, on procedures for uploading pictures.
It’s exciting to be waiting for flowers on plants that haven’t bloomed before and these should be beauties. If I can remember the drill on posting photos, I’ll send pictures when these blossoms open. Here are the buds.
Sarcocaulon crassicaule
Piaranthus punctatus
Easter Jeep Safari 2010
Yes, we are alive and well and able to tell the story of this year’s Jeep Safari. John had thirty possible participants on his trail and twenty-eight actually came to enjoy the trip. All knew what they were doing so we encountered no problems along the way. Our tail-gunner had to give a little driving advice to a girl who was out for the first time and, together, they made everything work just fine. It’s always amazing to me when people show up and have never done this sort of driving before. Kudos to them for wanting to try.
The 3-D trail has been John’s to lead for eight or more years and he loves it for the scenery and the ease of driving it. Its name derives from the fact that, near the end, we go to an overlook from which everything we’ve seen can be appreciated from one spot.
The first photo above is the back of his trail leader’s jacket showing the Red Rock 4- Wheelers club emblem and some of the patches for the years he’s participated. Photo two is a canyon seen from an overlook which is our lunch stop. You’ll notice in photo three that the wagons are circled during lunch break. Last, but not least, is a photo of one of our fans seeing us off at trails end. Yes, it was a perfect day!
