Karen J yes that is the seller. You can get all kinds of growing info at www.epies.net They can be rooted but I think those take 2-3 years to bloom that is why I bought this one from ebay.This is going to be my first try with these.

Yes he is a wonderful son, Mikey when I told him about yours and showed them to him he said we have got to get you one so the search was on. The ones they are selling are mature ones and showing signs of budding so I don't have to wait a few years to get a bloom. Not to bad of a price 14.95 for the plant and 6.95 shipping
They are called Epiphyllum. Mikey has got to show his they are wonderful.

Pond Chat / Several weekend photos

« on: May 21, 2007, 10:55:33 AM »

I have had a wonderful weekend and hope all of you have had the same. I have lots of pics. to share. The first two is a couple of fish that I bought from a local High School Agg. department 10 dollars each. The second set of pics. is of my new pond construction I am over the top about this since all the dirt I repeat all of the dirt is out. Next step is bottom drains and blocks. The next set of pics. is where we went to an Aquatic garden center in Birmingham Al. for supplies and took pics of their Koi. Last set is some of my roses that are blooming. Plus we planted a couple of Japanese maples hubby bought me we lucked up and found them for 15.00 each and they are about 2 foot tall. No pics of those yet.

Koi and Goldies can spawn but usually they are very fugly.. called Mules and supposed to be sterile.

I agree, and the babies are very, very, very unattractive.

My wife and I will have to meet up with you two the next time we go up to visit my family. I'm originally from Birmingham and lived in Moody before moving down here.

Happy ponding,
Scott

Yes I knew you were from Birmingham, That sounds great. Maybe by then my koi will have some babies and I can send you home with a few.

Oh the bird was okay just not grateful I did wear gloves to help her out because she was not happy.She did get a couple of baths before it was said and done. I don.t know how they are getting in. I have two other ponds with plants that is not covered but they always go for the Koi pond.

Mayfield is recalling their turtle tracks icecream . They have put p-nuts instead of walnuts. This is very important and could be deadly for those with P-nut allergies. They said the batch with this has the code 4/11/08 on the carton.

Update..
A visit to see Johnny shows that he is not doing well. The Dr. told his wife that he would never be the same. We are not sure he knows anyone. We are planning to go to the hospital this weekend and see if his family needs anything and to visit with him . So please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers still.
