Good morning โ˜€๏ธ plant family! Woke up to this newbie today! Planted 2 bare root day lilies a couple of months ago that I got on sale from rePotme. This is the first to bloom๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ. Itโ€™s labeled butterscotch ginger ๐Ÿซ  Havenโ€™t planted my own before, the day lilies in my yard were already here ๐Ÿก planted by previous owner. So Iโ€™m pretty excited ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ

For some reason I canโ€™t copy/paste #TheWateringHole list of tags rn, so if someone could add it that would be great ๐Ÿ‘

What a beautiful color! ๐Ÿฅฐ
@MariansOasis Those ruffled petals are beautiful ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ!!
@princesspitstop thank you Heidi ๐Ÿ˜Š. And thanks for all the tags. Not sure if itโ€™s my iPad or Greg today but techy stuff not cooperating this morning ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ“ก
@MariansOasis Good morning ๐ŸŒž You're very welcome! ๐Ÿ˜ I'm pumping myself full of caffeine โ˜• ๐Ÿ’ช We've had Saharan dust clouds coming through the Texas Hill Country the past couple of weeks and it's leaving a thick layer on all of my outdoor plants. So, I'm in the process of taking everything off of my patio and putting them in the shower to clean off their leaves. It's a MESS! I got halfway through and pooped out so today I'm picking back up where I left off. I seem to have the energy but the motivation is somewhere else. ๐Ÿ˜‚
@princesspitstop oh no! ๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ!! Thatโ€™s not fun!! Poor ๐Ÿƒ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ Well, motivation can strike at the weirdest time. Mine hits often at the end of the day, like 4:00. Not sure if itโ€™s motivation though or procrastination that ran outta time โฐ ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿคช
Wow,Marian, that bloom is AMAZING! I made the mistake of sitting on the couch to drink my coffee and now I donโ€™t want to get up ๐Ÿ˜‚ This sweet boy isnโ€™t making it any easier ๐Ÿ˜ Today I need to throw pots for the craft show, so Iโ€™ll HAVE to get up at some point ๐Ÿฅฑ

In plant news I have an orchid blooming (the first Iโ€™ve managed to get to rebloom), so yay! ๐Ÿค—
@princesspitstop That sounds like quite the job, Heidi! At least youโ€™re over halfway through already ๐Ÿ’ช Iโ€™ll bet your plants looks fab ๐Ÿ˜
@debbiedo They're getting there! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜€ Oh my goodness you make your own pots too??? I've always wanted a pottery wheel! Growing up my mom had a kiln and would do ceramics every winter so I grew up making things out of the slip. Just kid stuff though, you know like ash trays. Hahaha the 80's were a different time! ๐Ÿคฃ
Absolutely stunning color! Itโ€™s so rich!! Remind me what part of the country youโ€™re in again? @princesspitstop oh that sounds like a massive chore! Good luck and Godspeed ๐Ÿซก ! @debbiedo do your talents NEVER END?! ๐Ÿ˜That orchid is beautiful!!
In mamalinne land, I just got off of 3/4 incredibly long days at the hospital, but the good news is, Iโ€™m off until next Monday! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ Iโ€™ve been enjoying puttering around this morning looking at new growth, watering, and seeing my beneficial insects starting to crawl around! I call them Mommyโ€™s Little Murderers. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ
Other fun things: my orchid at last in full bloom, my Jacklyn doing okay in its transition to outside of the humidity box, a new Congo nuclear leaf, a silly new Florida beauty leaf, and my milk tree is finally getting some new growth after its chop this spring!
Oh, and my kerrii is goingโ€ฆsomewhere? Not sure where, and not sure she knows either? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
@MariansOasis A very good morning to you as well! Wow, I am loving those ruffled edges ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ Lilies are one of those plants that I do not have anywhere, inside or out, because they are severely toxic to kitties, and with 5 ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› Iโ€™m not taking any chances, but OOH do I love to look at them! ๐Ÿคฉ @princesspitstop Saharan dust clouds??! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ Wowza, that is nuts ๐ŸŒฐ ๐Ÿฅœ At least your plants will be all clean and showered at the end of it ๐Ÿคช My parents told me about when Mt St. Helens erupted, ๐ŸŒ‹ and there was a thick layer of ash on EVERYTHING, sounds like a pain!! We have it on the reverse today, I have motivation, but not the energy! ๐Ÿคช Iโ€™m trying to find it ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ‘€ And Marian, itโ€™s the same with me, I often find both energy and motivation around 6-7pm ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ and then Iโ€™m scrambling to get into bed on time. Well, Iโ€™m yawning but still making strawberry ๐Ÿ“ shortcake with cream scones ๐Ÿฐ at the moment because for hubsโ€™ ๐ŸŽ‚ today โ˜บ๏ธ I might have to test one or two first ๐Ÿ˜‹ @debbiedo Debbie! Congrats on your first orchid rebloom ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰ I remember that as SUCH a satisfying feeling ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ˜ And theyโ€™re BEAUTIFUL!! I also think you look pretty stuck. I mean, you couldnโ€™t disturb that sweet boy sleeping could you?? Better relax a bit more! ๐Ÿ˜œ

Here is my verrucosumโ€™s new leaf. I was a bit nervous that it would be smaller than the last leaf because I chopped the top to prop , but look!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ ๐Ÿ‘€ and that made him pop out a new pup at the bottom as well ๐Ÿฅณ And cream scones, a lร  King Arthur ๐Ÿคค
@MamaLinne I took so long in my comment that you snuck in there without me seeing! ๐Ÿคฃ Jacklyn looks like theyโ€™re doing good! I love the splashes of pink in the ๐Ÿ“œ rolled up Congo leaf!! I hope you enjoy your days off!! You have today through Sunday off?! ๐Ÿฅณ
@DreamMachine haha too funny! Those scones look amaaazing- happy birthday to Dillon! Hope heโ€™s feeling better!
@MamaLinne he IS, thank goodness! But he also took today off which Iโ€™m glad for ๐Ÿฅณ I shoulda waited for the second batch to come out, the 2nd batch always looks better than the first! ๐Ÿ˜‚
@DreamMachine Iโ€™m on my way. Be there in 18 hours.
@DreamMachine also, Iโ€™m cracking up- look what greg thinks your scones are ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
Oh my gosh! Thatโ€™s absolutely stunning! Iโ€™m going to have to plant some daylilies next year. ๐Ÿฅฐ
@MamaLinne okay, thatโ€™s hilarious that Greg is making scone plants. Lol but seriously Nadia @DreamMachine those scones look so yummy! Everyoneโ€™s plants are looking so gorgeous!
@MamaLinne bahahah ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Lithops scones
@debbiedo @princesspitstop

I have a kiln, now I'm waiting for my boyfriend to build me a wheel. I miss throwing pots so much ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@SpyderLily That's so cool!! I'd love to see your creations once you get everything set up! ๐Ÿฅฐ
@DreamMachine It happens every year. I had never heard of such a thing until we moved here. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
@princesspitstop thatโ€™s crazy! I have heard about it happening to the Amazon every year, itโ€™s like Mother Nature sending fertilizer because it helps replenish minerals & nutrients in the Amazon, which typically has very poor soil because all the rain washes it away.
@debbiedo your pup is so sweet! I love cuddling with Pearl after breakfast. We โ€˜rest to digestโ€™ before getting underway ๐Ÿ‘. Throwing pots, wow! Iโ€™d love to see some of your work!
Gorgeous rebloom on your orchid ๐ŸŒธ
@MamaLinne Iโ€™m in north county San Diego along the coast. I think our marine layer in May & June allowed the lilies to get established, easier to transition to the ground, less transplant shock perhaps ๐Ÿค” so got a bloom after just a couple of months in ground.
Love your Mommyโ€™s Little Murderers! ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿคช great name!! The rest of your plants look fabulous, orchid bloom wow ๐Ÿคฉ!! Iโ€™ve been on the hunt for the same euphorbia. Ofc when I wasnโ€™t interested they were everywhere. Now I canโ€™t find one locally ๐Ÿคช
@MamaLinne lithops!!!!๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
@DreamMachine I was always a night owl ๐Ÿฆ‰, couldnโ€™t get me outta bed before 10am and still up with the Late late show! So getting things done always happened later. Then enter infant ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป years and that all went to ๐Ÿ”ฅ in a hand๐Ÿงบ. Now Iโ€™m somewhere in between and more flexible too ๐Ÿซ 
Your scones look ahmayzing, happy birthday๐ŸŽ‚ to hubby, Dillon is it? Great name!
Verrucosum new leaf& pup!! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅนโ˜บ๏ธ
@MariansOasis That day lily is fabulous!!
@debbiedo Congrats on that orchid rebloom! Just keeping one alive would be an accomplishment for me.
@RefinedSandwort thanks Joy! โ˜บ๏ธ
@princesspitstop Oh yes, all the cool ash trays from the 80s!
@MamaLinne @MariansOasis My neighbor and I turned the shed in my backyard into a pottery studio we share. Itโ€™s really cool ๐Ÿ™‚ I have some test pieces coming out of the kiln anytime and Iโ€™ll definitely share pics (for better or for worse) ๐Ÿ˜‚
@DreamMachine awwww, to be young enough to not remember Mount Saint Helens (says the old lady from Washington) ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŒ‹๐Ÿ‘ต ALSO, I need to know more about those Lithops scones ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹
@SpyderLily Youโ€™re half way to your own pottery studio! Letโ€™s get that wheel back to the top of the BFs to-do list โœ… ๐Ÿ˜€
@RefinedSandwort I am ridiculously proud of that orchid rebloom ๐Ÿคซโค๏ธ
@debbiedo ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‚

The lithops scones were delicious! ๐Ÿ˜‹ They were the โ€˜shortcakeโ€™ for hubsโ€™ bday strawberry shortcake. King Arthur Flour has the best recipe, โ€œCream Tea Scones,โ€ and theyโ€™re so easy, literally just flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla! https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cream-tea-scones-recipe
@DreamMachine OK, youโ€™re forgiven for being so much younger than I am! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฐ
@MariansOasis Thank you! They are my favorite scone recipe ๐Ÿคค

And yes! Me too! Although now I do really enjoy those very quiet early mornings when you donโ€™t have to rush off, but who am I kidding, those are few and far between!! ๐Ÿคช Now Iโ€™d be lucky to sleep in until 7:30 ๐Ÿฅฑ
@debbiedo scones make everything better!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@debbiedo He insists on building me a she-shed ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Says he wants me to have my own space where I can get away from him when I need to and where I can have girls' nights. Problem is, with everything he wants to put in it for me it's going to be more like a studio apartment than a shed ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ (Not that I'm complaining, of course ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‚)
@SpyderLily Thatโ€™s so sweet that he wants to build you a she shed/mansion! ๐Ÿ˜
Prototypes fresh from the kiln!

The middle one was suppose to be blue, but itโ€™s all good. I was going for 70s earth tones ๐ŸŒŽ
@MariansOasis @DreamMachine @princesspitstop @SpyderLily @Idplantthat @RefinedSandwort
@debbiedo !!!!!


Theyโ€™re BEAUTIFUL ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
@DreamMachine Awww, thanks Nadia! โค๏ธ
@debbiedo wow ๐Ÿคฉ! Youโ€™re so talented. They look fabulous!
@debbiedo love them all but the pot on far right ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค—๐Ÿซ 
@RefinedSandwort Youโ€™re sweet, Joy โค๏ธ They have lots of beginner mistakes, but thatโ€™s what gives them characterโ€ฆright?! ๐Ÿค—
@MariansOasis Thanks Marian, I love that one too ๐Ÿ™‚
