[AnneKipanki]

Morning!
Other thread is nearly full .
Show us your plants , garden , trees or ornaments.
We love it all .

@Santapankitoo....oh no! But it IS their Christmas tradition to have a feast at the Pankitoo restaurant...the best eats in town!

True

Do you have a full photo this year?

I will look.

@everywhichway

Guess the plant!

Paris pollyphylla

polyphylla

No , just a partial photo.

@Santapankitoo
That's a lot of berries!

Houston we have a problem!

@Robin233
Oh no! I don't have any solutions for you, and I'm sorry, but your photo and caption have made me chuckle...poor little bulbs! And less than two weeks until Christmas
What kind of bulbs are they?

@Robin233...
Maybe @beautyisfoundwithin
Will have a solution...she plants lots of bulbs, I believe...Beauty, are you there?

You might have to get some wooden stakes or kebab skewers to provide support.

I'd suggest the same as @Santapankitoo, they look healthy and green so I think they'll be ok with support?

I think often when you force spring bulbs indoors they grow quicker and taller than they would outdoors because it's so much warmer (I could be wrong though, I'm no expert, only a theory from what I've observed from my own bulbs!). I've not tried Daffodils but I've had the same happen with Hyacinths and Tulips indoors. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you @Robin233!

LOVE those photos of the white Sandy beach @SwtPeasOnEarth 😍

@beautyisfoundwithin
Those Gulf of Mexico beaches are my favourite in the whole wide world..the water is nice and warm too...I'm glad you liked them Will you have snow on the ground all winter? Your last photos remind me of desert topography...the bushes look like sagebrush...I didn't know you had that kind of scenery also...are those little foothills?

Don't know if you've heard of the devastating tornados we had over a 6 state area in the early morning hours...many people have lost their lives, homes, work places, ...over a 200 mile swath!

Yes Swtpeas it has been in the news over here.. how absolutely devastating for all people affected. Such tragic news just before Christmas. Are you and your family all ok?

Oh @SwtPeasOnEarth, I have not seen the news . Hope you and your family are fine. ♥️💕

@applecatchers36
And @Santapankitoo ..thank you for asking..Fortunately everyone here is fine... usually tornados do touch down around here but for some reason,, this one did not follow the normal pattern..ours here come out of the Gulf of Mexico...this giant one came out across what is known as " tornado alley" in the middle of the US where the Wizard of Oz tornado was. And it continued on the ground for an unprecedented amount of time..it is one of those things that you never can predict which way they are going to go...I read some where that debris was pulled up to over 30 thousand feet in the air.
It was kind of scary yesterday morning because it was extremely warm for December..23° and the skies were very dark and the wind was blowing so hard it blew over my mum's Christmas garden reindeer! The temps in the area where the tornados were got up to 26 degrees where normally there is snow...oh no! Just thought of something! Covid weather to go along with those covid plants!
See photo of the deer that were blown over😳

BTW, I am still visiting my mum on southern US, so I'm not in California right now. We don't get tornados in California

@SwtPeasOnEarth
That's awful. Glad you're ok.
The reindeer do look lovely though.

Thanks, @Robin233 My mum LOVES Christmas...we've decorated the house to within an inch of its life Garden, too! It's been fun...but my DSis says there is no way she is coming after Christmas to put it all back in the loft...I guess it will still be Christmas at Sweets mum's until February or March then...the gardens are still blooming with flowers!...they look lovely although their pinkness kind of clashes with the Christmas red😂

@Santapankitoo
How tall is your amaryllis now?
Will it bloom for Christmas? Please keep us posted as to its progress
@beautyisfoundwithin are you still buried under the snow?
@applecatchers36 how is your garden fairing?

Decent nativity display at your Mum's SwtPeas very Christmasy! Good to hear that your Mum in the South and that your home in California escaped the dreaded path of the Tornado.

Not much happening in the garden. Some Narcissus bulbs emerging and cyclamen going strong. But generally quite damp and not spending much time out doors as it gets dark around 4pm at the moment so lighting fires and keeping cosy!

I have a cyclamen indoors too @applecatchers36.
I will take a new photo tomorrow of my amaryllis.
Lovely photos @SwtPeasOnEarth.
I hope you’re going to post them on the name change thread . 🎄
