Bat Flower

Looking amazing, Meanie...on track for the show?

Brilliant Meanie what a show they give

excellent, what a good specimen you have there..

i think it is amazing!!!

Thanks guys!
Should be at it's peak for the show I think.

Are you entering it into a show then Meanie

wow that really is something out of the bat cave. I get this image of you sitting in a chair watching this saying to yourself ''hmm its been a good couple of hours now time for another photo'' ; )
Looks fab

I'll say, 'Good Luck'! now then, Meanie...it's got to win something, even if they have to introduce a new category :))))
...which might not be a bad idea, given all your other exotics!!!
All the best!!

Stevie the T you are naughty! I wish I had a flower that changed every two hours.
How about time lapse photos??

well I cant talk, last year I took a pick of all the passion flowers off of one plant...40+ : )
Time lapse sounds good

you could do one of those collage things and put all 40 on?? i think i would like to see that!??

looking fantastic now, that plant was a really good find! :o)

It's going in the local village flower show 6d.

Thanks Karen.

Steve - I remember young Constance well! What happened to her?

At the right time of day a lot of plants will change a lot in a couple of hours Sticki. Watch the spring flowering Irises as the heat of the sun hits a new bud.

It was a hell of a good find Plantaholic!

I hope you will tell us how you get on - and if you don't win I will be amazed!

Ah yes the Constance Elliot, unfortunately I didnt take it in soon enough and it died. I did however pick up another smaller one, yes from morrisons for £1.79 which hasnt done anything.
I do agree a couple of hours can make all the difference.

I think mybe we should be able to award prizes each season for the best in different categories but I think you have definately won best exotic flower

I agree - with awarding prizes and meanie winning the exotics. Steve the T you might win the best biking story!?

Thank you Meanie for the answer 1st prize it will get believe me if not its fixed.

This is a great flower & very unusual, too! :-))

Not happening now 6d.........

Thank you Balcony!

Thank goodness hope you mean the fixing as it has gone on in the past.

Not entering as I have 10sq metres of dry stone wall to clear up now!

oh your wall! i thought you meant the one at the show.

im very sorry to hear that. supposed to have mother in law round tomorrow ~ would rather come and help build a wall. we had thunderstorms last night ~ maybe that caused it??

Oh what a shame Meanie did I miss some thing about a wall then.

It's Sues wall = my problem!!!!

Ahrr I see.

could you run a class in how to do dry stone walling and let the students mend it while you supervise?

I'd need to learn myself first!

oh no! mountain of a job then?
