I am joinin' the DB BOYZ, Arty and Jakey for
FLOWER FRIDAY!
Okays, so this Flower Friday I needs to
TAKE YOU WAAAAAAY BACK IN TIME....
Back to MAY ☺
This is what happened.....
SUPPOSEDLY!
Ma had ordered a couple of new HIBISCUS plants through the mail.
They came as, what plant peeps call, 'BARE ROOT'.
It looked like a nice chew stick.
Ma planted it. watered it. waited.
And to everyone's surprise........
GREW!

Ma was REAL happy, and loved her new plants.
I loved them too....
WHAT?! I don't see any CHEWED LEAVES......
Ma's got NO PROOF!
DIRT??? I don't see any DIRT! Those are just 'low lights' in my furs
Terrierious PlantEaterous STRIKES AGAIN! hehehehe
Anyhu......
MY POINT is
Lookie what they looked like in JULY
I'd say I did a FABulous job of PRUNING!
Butt, waits ~ lookie what happened a few weeks ago...
FLOWERS!!
Lookie how BIG they are! They are FIVE INCHES across!
This is the WHITE one. It kinda wilted from the heat wave we had last week
So, I thinks Ma should
THANK ME
for my gardening skills!
(Heaven knows SHE'S got none.....hehehehe)
pees: as you can see, the plants are now behind the pet fence.
better them than me....☺
You left some of the plant to grow back. You'd make a terrible rabbit.

ReplyDeleteWell, despite all worse efforts, Ma Nature won out!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
You did a fabulous pruning job, Ruby! Your red hibiscus is sooooooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous Ruby, ours haven't started blooming yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with peeps, they just don't appreciate good help. We have cut down Mom's garden time by helping with the pruning and Dad has almost no mowing to do anymore. We took care of all that pesky grass in the back yard.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYay Ruby of course all the tender lover and (chew) attention you gave them is what brought them to life and made them bloom in that gorgeous shade of RED!!
ReplyDeleteBefore long ma will be hiring out your services and making you pay rent.
REMINDER:
I need a photo of you for my Blanket Volleyball game...by Monday 9/18...that is if you want to play. I know you will be busy with the margarita truck too
Hugs madi your bfff
WOW, that hibiscus bloom is GINORMOUS!!!! You have really super gardening skills. Mom doesn't believe us when we tell her she needs to let us take a paw to her plants:)

OMD...How totally BEAUTIMOUS those flowers are...We think they probably would NOT have bloomed without you pruning them like you did!

OMD! Ruby, you have a green paw....or is that green teeth?
ReplyDeleteTerrierious PlantEaterous. Bwahaahaahaa!
You did a great pruning job Ruby. Look how beautiful those flowers turned out.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderfur job of pruning the trees! I love the flowers. It's a good thing they are kept in a fence so you aren't tempted to pick a flower for your fiance'
ReplyDeleteYour hibiscus is incredible! We think you were set up by naughty squirrels. 🐿
ReplyDeleteIDK why your ma is blaming you for everythings Boo!?!? You are doing a great job with the plant. How else would it have such beautiful, huge flowers? It is cuz YOU did it all! I think your ma better say she is sorry! We will bark about it tonight my love!
