Here is a cute rain lily photo from last year. Probably won't see any rain lily flowers this year as it has not rained in forever. At least the grass isn't growing. Yeah for that......... Posted by Picasa

Only in Florida. There was a little visitor in the pothos basket in the research house this morning. It will wake you up faster than coffee. Posted by Picasa

The 'Mr.Tichy' dogwood tree is very happy. Posted by Picasa


Gazing at the sunset thru the dogwood tree given to me by my friend Mr. Tichy. It will always be the 'Mr Tichy Tree'. It flowers so heavy at a young age that propagation is in its future. Posted by Picasa

Spring fever........................

Spring is here - actually it was yesterday. Today it is summer already. Get too busy with too many different things to remember to blog regularly.

Last week it was surf fishing on Thursday and what a day it was. Caught over 40 fish (whiting and pompano)that filled two coolers so I quit before noon. Several bags of fillets are now in the freezer. The buzzards, racoons and coyotes are happy with the leftovers. At least nothing goes to waste.

The magnum sand flea rake worked to perfection and the sand flea harvest was amazing. It is warm enough for the sand fleas to come to the surface for easy picking. Caught several of the largest pompano ever ---- all fish were within 30 yards of the beach. Had never had that happen before.

I tried to add a photo but blogger is fighting with me today. Will try again later.
Ok, now the picture has appeared. May have to try another surf fishing trip later this week. Now it is off to the research house to pollinate. Weeeeeeeeeee.........


Went surf fishing last Thurdsday. Awesome day with 2 coolers full and several tossed back. Life is good............ Posted by Picasa

Yea, the summer weather is here already. What else is there to do? The mighty Zeus seems to have the answer. Posted by Picasa

Here is a spathphyllum flower that was just pollinated. What can follow (in about 4 months) is in the photo below. Posted by Picasa


A nice fat Spathiphyllum seed head that should produce about 500 seeds. More space in the research house spoken for it would seem. Posted by Picasa

Spring in the research house. A few seeds are setting on the Anthurium which always look better this time of year. Posted by Picasa

It must be spring. Got to pollinate another pothos flower today. That is almost as good as fresh cauliflower but not quite. Posted by Picasa
