Topsy Turvy Tomato (tomatoe)



Pineapple Plant

Below is a pineapple plant that I planted. I cut the top off a grocery store bought pineapple and planted it it the soil in the backyard. It seems to be growing well. I will dig it up and pot it for winter growing before the first frost to see how that works out. Anyone else have success doing this?

N. Lutea, American Lotus



Here you will find 'N. Lutea, American Lotus. This is the 'seed pod' which is often used, after growing larger, in dried flower arrangements. This is the pod after shedding the beautiful white flower petals. The petals lasted about three to four days, then fell off when I touched them, revealing the beautiful pod. If you want to see the Lotus flowering click here for our earlier post please.
