Yes, folks. The dahlia that has been nicknamed "Fraternal Twins" for its two totally different flowers. has thrown off a third flower, and it's yet another variant of the two colors! Instead of being pink and white all over, like the bloom on the left, or solid magenta like the flower on the right, "Goldilocks" in the middle has deep magenta petals on the outside with a lighter pink/white center section. I can't wait for this flower to open fully to see the exact pattern of colors. Remember, all three of these stalks and flowers belong to one plant, grown from one corm. Click to see this burgeoning oddity!
THE RUG IS STILL DAMP IN THE CORNERS SO IT'LL BE ANOTHER DAY OF MACHINE NOISE. AS LONG AS WE DON'T COME OUT OF THIS WITH MOLD WE'LL GET BY. IT JUST MAKES ME MAD BECAUSE THE FLOORING IS ALL BRAND NEW. THE ONE GOOD THING,IT'S NOT THE WOOD FLOORS.
ReplyDeleteYOUR FLOWERS BRING CHEER. I KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TOO.
CASEY, YOU BETTER GIVE THE GUYS SOME MORE CARS. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE QUIET.
I'LL BACK OFF AND JUST PEEK ALL DAY.
GRANNY
Good Morning Casey, Granny, and All.
ReplyDeleteCasey you may have come up with something, a regular Casey Burbank. One plant - all flowers, takes away the need to choose.
You have very pretty flowers in your area. If I ever get back to San Diego at the proper time of year I will take some pictures of the flower farm there. It can be see along side the 405 freeway, a carpet of color working its way up the hillside, if you can imagine all your colors there. It is quite spectacular. Flowers on one side the ocean on the other.
Good Morning everybody !
ReplyDeleteThese three flowers remind me of my sister, brother, and I. We all came from the same roots yet we are all completely different. Guess which one is me!
X, I pick the one on the left with that flowery attitude. lol
ReplyDeleteI second that, Annie!
ReplyDeleteGood morning everyone! I'm headed up to the attic shortly. I"m going to create some space and throw out at least ONE box of crap today, I've promised myself that much! I have a package of legal pads, a package of black Sharpies, tape, scissors, some latex gloves. i'm all ready for anything I'll encounter, and am going to start labeling the boxes that I'm not unpacking. I'll be back to the blog after 4pm probably. I just wish I had a small TV to bring up there, I hate to miss my soaps, lol. I'll have to watch them tonight on Soap Channel. wish me luck!
Good luck Casey ! If we don't hear from you by nightfall we'll send out the national guard, lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd just for the record, drum roll please, you both were.....

Nice poem, Granny! You watch the same soaps my mother did, she loved Y&R and B&B. I watch the ABC soaps, All My Children, One Life to Life and General Hospital. I started watching GH in 1963 with my grandmother!
ReplyDeletei got a lot done today up in the attic. of course, I picked the first day in a couple of weeks that hit more than 90 so it was HOT in the attic! I have another 8-10 days up there to get it where I want it. SO MUCH STUFF.
WE'VE BEEN IN THIS HOUSE SINCE APRIL AND I'M STILL NOT WHERE I'D LIKE TO BE. I'M WAITING FOR MY ONE DAUGHTER TO GO THROUGH HER PICTURES. SHE SAID SHE'D GIVE ME SOME FOR MY WALLS. THEY HAVE A WAREHOUSE FULL OF STUFF. STUFF I DON'T NEED. JUST SOME PRETTY PICTURES FOR MY DINNINGROOM, FAMILYROOM AND LIVINGROOM.IT'LL COME TOGETHER SOON.
