up again after bedtime...

But guess what?? I finally have baby snailies!! Nate noticed them earlier this evening. They are sooooo cute and precious, unlike the baby snails that are attacking my violets out back. I can't wait to watch them grow up... though I'm not too attached... they're still destined to become puffer dinner.

They look like the round kind too. I think the trumpet snails are still using little snail condoms... that or they have a longer gestation period or something. Nah, it must be condoms.

I am so excited about all my seed trading but I will spare you the gory details. Though I must insist on linking a picture of one of the Daturas that will be making it's way to me.

Isn't it gorgeous? I'm in love with moonflowers in general, and I think this is the prettiest I've seen. Though I'm possibly getting a black currant spiral datura too...

Heh, I said I wouldn't bore you with garden stuff, so I'll stop there. But if I manage to get the seeds to turn into plants, expect garden entries galore.

Yes, very pretty but, isn't the time for moonflowers over?
Mom's were planted in the Spring and were on the way out come Autumn. Or, do you have something different?

Well I'm getting seeds, so I won't see the blooms for awhile yet. But do you mean she got rid of her plant, or just that it was done blooming? And :) do you know which one she has, and if she saved any of the seeds?

The moonflower she had was from seeds and an annual so, it died back. Mom does not harvest the seeds from annuals. Too much fussing.
