HELLO TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO VISIT HERE...
I LOVE SHARING ALL THE GREAT STORIES I RECEIVE BY EMAIL, FROM FRIENDS... BUT THIS DAY I HAVE PUT THE PHOTOS OF THE FLOWERS I GROW IN MY FRONT WINDOWS, THEY ARE CALLED ''ORCHID CATUS'',, AND THEY START TO GETTING BUDS , AND BU MOTHERS DAY THEY HAVE THESE WONDERFUL FLOWERS ON THEM.
NOW THERE IS A STORY THAT GOES WITH THESE, MY FAVOITE UNLE ELMER, ALMOST ALWAYS BROUGHT ME FLOWERS, ROOTS AND ALL, QWHEN EVER HE CAME TO SEE US, WHICH WAS ANY TIME HE FELT LIKE IT!! ONE TIME A WHITE AND PURPLE IRIS, WHICH HAS NOW BECOME A BIG CLUMP WITH AT LEAST 12 FLOWERS. ANY WAY , HE GAVE ME THIS PLANT ABOUT 10 YAERS AGO, IT HAD JUST ROOTS NO SOIL, I REPLANTED IT AND PUT IT IN MY WEST WINDOW, WITH ONLY NATURAL LIGHT. I HAVE TRIMED IT BACK ONE TIME IT HAD GOTTEN SO LEGGY, BUT EVERY YAER IT HAS 12 TO 20 BLOOMS ON IT, AND I THINK OF THAT WONDERFUL OLD MAN(WHO PASSED IN 2004 AT 93) EVERY TIME I SEE THESE FLOWERS.
SO THANK YOU , UNCLE ELMER, I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO GARDEN ,UP THERE WHERE EVER YOU ARE ,, REST IN PEACE! Fran
