Here is my noid miloniopsis. This is it's first bloom since I switched it over to s/h.





Can someone tell me the best way to repot this cat ?


I was repotting my orchids and he just had to be right in the middle of it

He went to the shelter this morning and got a new do. He was matted on the hind quarters.

What a beautiful guy! The garden plants are really nice also . I've been having trouble trying to post pics since the site came back up, but if/when I can, you've inspired me to post some non-orchid blooms around my home.
Best,
Tony

Is that your cat or another foster?
He's a real cutie, so is that Milt!

He is another foster fur child. His name is Boy Kitty.that's the name he came with. He will be with me for 6 months He's got some puncture wounds on his tail and needs medication and TLC. My first 2 fosters I took back on a Friday and Saturday they were adopted Boy Kitty is very sweet and loving. He has to be into everything I am into. Loves to drink out of running faucets and snuggle next to me on the sofa. He is going to make someone a lovely companion

I have had that milt for several years. I think it had a tag

Pretty flowers!
Love that fluffy white clematis.

And your cat's tail is so cute- is it like that or did you do anything?

He's shedding and his hind quarters were matted so I had one of the girls at the shelter shave him and she gave him a lion cut.

That is a double white clematis. This fall I have got to cut it back and do something different with the trellis.

I've been eyeballing several nice black iron ones

Nice tour and set up you have . I really love the Iris. I didn't catch if you said what its name is. And love that miltinopsis. I have a hard time making them thrive here may be to hot I use to have one looked very similar to yours.
Thanks sunshine!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. The iris at one time probably did have a nameMy bleeding hearts have self seeded and have started to take over I have a huge clump of the old fashioned iris that is in desperate need of dividing. Spiderwort,aka Widows Tears, old fashioned Ditch lilies and bee balm that have invaded the garden need to go. That is on my to do list starting in September. Just thinking about it I can feel my poor ole lower back starting to ache I don't even have any room for a row of colorful annuals.

Well, when you do start to work on them, don't throw out the extras. Most of us seem to be plantaholics in general. I know I am and I have 2 acres to play with!!!

You have 2 acres, I am green with envy I have seen so many neat things I would like to grow and try. Now that I have the bum shoulder I have all I can do is to take care of what I got. My lifting and reaching is restricted

I won't throw out the extras

Wish I lived closer, I would come and help. Or even do it all for you. That's what I usually end up doing at my friends' homes. I work, they delegate.
