It's been over a year since they last were on Earth. Indeed they do need a service if they can be gone that long. They may have forgotten about you during that long time. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/black/t1607.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool1" title="Cool1    :cool1" data-shortname=":cool1" />:Clol:Well Michelle's tight skirt was the real game-changer in the negotiations. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />I'm no expert as I learn something from them often. They are teaching me. That's why I need to stay away from these stores. The grocery store is the worst as I have to go there and pass by the plant section. Indeed and one poor one has had to go through two plant surgeries in recent days to save if from stem rot.Indeed, Plant Tower is a family of orchids and in most cases saved orchids. They have names now, the one in the previous photo is called Minta. The others are Bunny and Venus. Venus was the one with the broken leaves that had stem rot and needs prompt attention. [spoiler]<img src="https://i.ibb.co/1dGwZPF/blueorchids082721.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />My blues together. Left, forward is Venus, rear left is Bunny and rear right is Minta. The other is my Mother's before it was returned to her last week.[/spoiler]Venus is critical but after removing two leaves last week that were rotting from the crown and applying cinnamon to dry the rot, she has been stable in recent days. PV is also declining which is worrying me in my plant world. Her last old root has rotted away and I'm having to prepare for the worst as fluid intake is now difficult. My orchids #2 and #28 have my attention as August comes to an end. My goodness, what a beautiful Sunflowers you have my dear friend. They looks so happy! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/girls/m04127.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":spinning:" title="Spinning    :spinning:" data-shortname=":spinning:" />I'm certain the bees like your garden. What a joy to see your garden, thanks for sharing.I took a photo of my Mother's Sunflowers on Sunday as well.[spoiler]<img src="https://i.ibb.co/VqGgxzT/sunflower082921.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It's towering over me and the bees love it.[/spoiler]No wonder, they are beautiful! Surely they'll make a return appearance in your garden next year. Who can not love Sunflowers. <img src="https://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/saisons/ete/tournesol.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
