Why? I don't understand.
Silly boy!
Hope you have had a wonderful day!Good morning all. It's a tennis day today. It's been kne every day this week as I havebeen watching it on television, but today I am heading up to Queen's in west London to watch it live
@Bee62 Sabine your latest song was beautiful. I did have a think and 3 came to mind... Queen's "Love of my !ife", or "Who wants to live forever" and Elton John's "Your Song" ... I'll let you choose as I can't make my mind up
Dan I do hope your meds kkck in quickly and effectively. We do worry about you
They are bred to have red, white, pink or a mix of colorful “bracts” .. so having a white one is normal. And makes sense if they were dyed a color by the local florist. A lot easier to tint a white bract to blue or some other color.
- In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis or cone scale. Bracts are often (but not always) different from foliage leaves. They may be smaller, larger, or of a different color, shape, or texture. Typically, they also look different from the parts of the flower, such as the petals or sepals. The state of having bracts is referred to as bracteate[1] or bracteolate, and conversely the state of lacking them is referred to as ebracteate[2] and ebracteolate, without bracts.
Yup - we made a good start but just couldn't go the distance and measure up to our EU friends.You guys are still miles behind!
I had one which survived a few years with very little care but sadly last autumn it gave up!
Good afternoon/evening all.
Another lovely day in my corner of the world.
Managed to keep Lola out in the sun for a while but just noticed that he has a red mark on his neck while I was soaking him.
He may have caught it in the garden as he tried to barge his way through my hebe shrub or maybe a sting.
I have washed it with saline solution and put some Savlon antiseptic cream on it so will keep an eye on it.
He is lively enough and has eaten well since I've been home but still not feeding himself as he used to.
I have found a tortoise sanctuary called the International Tortoise Association not too far from me - can't believe I haven't heard of them before.
The good thing is they take torts while keepers are on holiday. So I am going to check them out in case I ever need them, but would only use them if there tort hygiene and husbandry is good. Will be paying them a visit.
Hope you have all had a good day and are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

Well done to your daughter, and hope your packing is under control.Happy Friday, roommates!
Daughter got the first place (among her classmates) at her school’s science fair. “Women in Science” and “Women Who Changed the World” are some of her favorite books. [emoji23]
We’re traveling that side of the Atlantic on Wednesday already!
Kite making is good fun too - there's a really easy one you can make with A4 paper and a kebab stick which you can decorate and add tails tp etc.I'm stealing these for our summer too!
It does actually fly too. I'll see if I can find the instructions.
Packing??! Aaaah! *running around in panic*
That poor plant is really confused. It's June, man.
Stuffed in the back of the garage with no light or water???

I didn't think about it being dyed. Good point.

We only use the metric system here. So obviously we are even further behind.

Oh that is sad.
Think I overwatered it. They seem to like neglect!

Glad you have had a good day and good find on the sanctuary. It is always useful to find a place who can take good care of your babies while you are away.Good afternoon/evening all.
