[Image]I have been sick all week with a cold and have just left the house and driven to the red tailed hawk nest for the first time in four days. [Image]The changes in musculature, feather growth and color in such a short period of time is incredible. They have lost about 90% of their white juvenile down in the last five days. I hate to miss a day!*[Image]Linda Kohn Sherwood sent me this one, I hope not:*[Image]Jon sent a picture of one of his favorite roses."Here is Cardinal de Richelieu, a Gallica rose introduced about 1857. It blooms once a year and is the most purple of the old roses."[Image] [Image]Lena sent a couple snaps too. I love orange and yellow roses. Brass Band and Lucille Ball two of my absolute favorites. These are sure pretty.*[Image]My puya alpestris has a spike. I didn't expect one for another five or six years.This is the lovely but lethal sapphire flower from Brazil. It takes forever to bloom.Looking forward to seeing it. Good Earth Nursery has a lovely specimen at the bottom of their driveway that flowers every year.*[Image] [Image]RoxAnn shows off her Gemini, long stemmed and fragrant. A hybrid tea.*Dixon used to grow the prettiest roses around, not sure if he still does in Eastridge?
