Suffering in Silence "Again"
I had a short nap this afternoon. I want to take a rest again but my eyes are still wide awake as I was lying down. I decided to go online and update some of my blogs...Now I am almost gone and promise to slowly sign-off and go to bed early tonight. We will go early tomorrow for crystal shopping in Neustadt. I hope I will feel better and back to normal health when I wake up tomorrow. I wish you all a lovely evening! have a wonderful weekend too! Tschuss!

TF#2- Pink Petunia in Our Garden
Petunia is a trumpet shaped, widely-cultivated genus of flowering plants of South American origin, in the family Solanaceae. The popular flower got its name from French, which took the word petun 'tobacco' from a Tupi-Guarani language. Most of the varieties seen in gardens are hybrids (Petunia x hybrida).

Today's Flower#42- Beautiful Guzmania
I have here a photo of a Guzmania, a family of the Bromeliad plants..isn't it lovely? I grew thousands of Bromeliads before but since I left home, I already sold it... some were left to my sisters. I hope to take photos of it once I go home this year.
Guzmania is a genus of epiphytes, the guzmanias. Several species of this genus are cultivated as indoor and outdoor garden plants. The best known is Guzmania lingulata (scarlet star) which bears orange and red bracts.
Guzmanias die after a plant has produced its flowers in summer, but new plants can easily be propagated from the offsets which appear as the parent plant dies. They are epiphytes and can do well if tied on to pieces of bark with roots bound into sphagnum moss.
Guzmanias require warm temperatures and relatively high humidity. The sac fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana (anamorph of Cochliobolus sativus) and others can cause fatal root rot in plants of this genus if the roots get too wet and cold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guzmania

Have a Safe and happy Weekend!
"Dumb Jock
The huge college freshman figured he'd try out for the football team. "Can you tackle?" asked the coach.
"Watch this," said the freshman, who proceeded to run smack into a telephone pole, shattering it to splinters.
"Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed. Can you run?"
"Of course I can run," said the freshman. He was off like a shot, and in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash.
"Great!" enthused the coach. "But can you pass a football?"
The freshman rolled his eyes, hesitated for a few seconds. "Well, sir," he said, "if I can swallow it, I can probably pass it."
