[daveomak]

Here's a new orchid for us!

This Just In .... Who Knew?  

The flower is called Hanging Naked Men, so do not Google Hanging Naked Men or you might really see Naked Men. It is called Orchis Italica, or The Naked Man Orchid. So funny, they come in all sorts of shapes and, umm� sizes.

Very nice!  I couldn't see your pics, so I googled it. That is a very nice orchid. Trying to grow Orchids is one of my failed hobbies. I can do phaelenopsis with out much issue. It seems like I can't kill them, but anything else.... nope ain't gonna happen. Even my native orchids don't like me.

 

[daveomak]

They were there....... How did I do that ?????????

I can't see the picture of your naked man Dave, but I prefer the "naked lady" my brother-in-law has them growing in his yard on the Oregon coast!

I've tried orchids 3 times..... even the one variety that is supposed to be "tough as nails and hard to kill"....... well..... I don't have any orchid plants... Dandelions..... that's another story..... and I'm good at morning glory too.....

That's some funny stuff Dave.... :laugh1:

 

[azbohunter]

Alright Dave, I am impressed! My wife questions the entire thing?

 

[ak1]

Pics are showing up now. Maybe it was my computer.

You are OK.... somehow when I switched my profile from BB code editor to Rich Text editor they disappeared... :head-wall:

AK1 googled them..... I wonder who did the genetic splicing to get that GMO orchid....

I thought this was going to about avocados. The Aztec name for this was "the testicle tree:" ahuacatl.

Google if you don't believe me.

The hardy amaryllis?  I have a LOT of those in my gardens. They look like giant daffodils in the spring, then the foliage dies back and they're invisible until they bloom in late summer.

Once when I was working at a small college, they were demolishing a house and I salvaged the gardens - I found a patch of 300+ of those bulbs, they were like a seam of coal.

  I'm jealous! 

 The only thing I have growing is some cooking herbs.

Now that made me laugh! I've never seen them before Dave...

 

[venture]

Sorry Dave!  I just had to Google it.

I was thinking you spent too much time with Photoshop?

Good luck and good smoking.

 

[daveomak]

If I was "photo shopping" I definitely would come up with something better than that..... Not that that's bad or anything but really, photo shop flowers.... HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[venture]

I feel better now.

I was starting to worry about you.

Good luck and good smoking.
