Off to Yoga.
Here's a flower from my Garden.

 

Pretty flower... What kind is it?

Hope you have a great day at Yoga!

Great start to the day Ravan

 

Beautiful flower. I hope you and the kitties have a good day today.

 

Oh, that hibiscus is lovely! Yours are blooming already?? That's a hardy hibiscus, right? Growing in the yard? Your weather must be kinder than ours - they aren't even thinking about blooming yet...

I'll add a pic of the one's we store in our greenhouse over winter - they're already blooming happily - but the greenhouse helps them - no winter in there

Thinking of you and your kitties today - hope everyone is doing a little better

 

Wild or Perennial Hibiscus. Only 3 flowers have bloomed so far. I have 5 Hibiscus in the back garden & 3 in front of my house.
Garden is not doing as good as usual. Darn Japanese Beetles destroyed my Purple Jackmanii Clematis vine.It was beautiful a few days ago & now not one flower left!
Those rotten beetles are just waiting for my Hibiscus !

 

Doing wonderful Ravan.

 

Have fun at yoga, sending more prayers

 

Your flower is gorgeous and Ravan seems to be back on track!
Have a beautiful day! Enjoy your yoga!!

 

Yes, they're a real pest - I saw two of them on my hibiscus the other day - gross, but we have to 'pinch' them off...ugh...I declined pinching until I found my gloves...shudder to do that with my bare hands... ugh...

 

How is Ravan feeling today?

 

Two! I'm talking "Hundreds" They were just all over ,covering my Clematis Vine. It was GROSS!
Several years ago I had 8 beautiful rose bushes. They smelled wonderful & were in every color. I looked forward to fresh roses in my house all summer. The Japanese Beetles destroyed every one in just a few days. Ate the flowers & the Leaves!

 

I am worried. He was doing so good & now even with the tiny increase his Bg is up to 122 +5. Something is not right for a few weeks now. Thurs he'll have blood drawn for lab work.

 

We used to have more - so you know how to get rid of them, right? Get a bucket of soapy water and leave it in the garden - every time you walk by you have to pick them off or knock them in if there are that many - they drown. If you let them go, they multiply by planting their little larvae in the soil - and next year you'll have even more, and more and more...you just gotta tackle them all the time...eventually their numbers do seem to get smaller - but it's a constant PITA to have to keep those buckets of soapy water around in the gardens - we used to have a lot of gardens, many rosebushes and other flowers so we were constantly picking and smushing those nasty fellows ugh...yuk.. it's the only safe way to rid your yard of them..and hopefully your neighbors do the same...

 

I ended up pulling out was left of the Roses & planting other flowers. This is the first time they ate my Clematis & now my hibiscus! All the neighbors I knew have either died or moved away. Now no one sticks their head out the door they all have a service that does all the lawn work.
No one ,except me, has a garden This is what happens as you get older. You just don't fit in anymore.
