9. But

I heard he had a hard time swallowing the truth.

[merh]

4. LOL

:thumbsup:

[johnnie]

2. Dandelions

I think they should be considered a beautiful plant instead of a weed. Then my yard would be considered beautiful.

[merh]

7. I agree with you!

My yard could then maybe get lawn of the month, well, that is if they accept sand and broken pieces of stuff in place of grass to go along with the dandelions and other large green things that grow and folks call weeds. :silly:

24. Well, the Dutch are artists when it comes to horticulture...

so it's no surprise they were able to improve on the natural plant quite considerably :)

Just for the sights and to experience! :D

[Call Me Wesley]

31. Ours are halfway blooming right now.

We have one with red and white flowers - and the white flowers are blooming, the red ones not yet. The others we have are a more orange color, but not blooming yet. Wonderful plants!

[merh]

40. I had tons of them, the white, the pink and the red.

I'll have them again, just as I will have my rose bushes again!

It is good to see you CMW - please give Heidie my love. :loveya: :grouphug:

From the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, Texas. www.antiqueroseemporium.com/rose-601.html

If you time your visit right, you'll be traveling through fine Bluebonnet country. Be sure to see Old Baylor.

And don't forget the Blue Bell Creamery. www.bluebell.com/

[merh]

57. Those are beautiful roses, so delicate looking.

And if I ever make it that way, Blue Bell Creamery would be on my list of places to visit. :9

Unfortunately, I let mine expire. It's sold out for the season.
