I always thought I was the only one who didn't like them.<br /><br />By the way, most variegated african violets can't be propagated from leaves -- they'll come up all green.<br />The variegated varieties are chimeras -- they're actually a combination of two genetically different cell types, one white, one green. But when you grow from leaf cuttings, the new plants develop from just one single cell -- if that cell is the white type, they die (no green, can't photosynthesize) and if it is a green type, they're solid green.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433418903218452909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-10545323694355824022009-11-01T16:54:58.128-05:002009-11-01T16:54:58.128-05:00The hills are alive with color.

But I do get weary of more leaves falling after I've cleared a spot. :) The kids are enjoying jumping in the leaves. (That's a great way to enlist their help. They rake and rake trying to make their pile really big so they can jump into it.)Adrienne Zwarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399915534602362046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-1130450499911261822009-10-28T22:53:18.266-04:002009-10-28T22:53:18.266-04:00Hi Lona~~ You're not supposed to say things li...Hi Lona~~ You're not supposed to say things like, "My house is clean."

She was wondering what she could do to keep this bird from eating all her fishes.<br /><br />I teasingly said "Well, a .410 works real good", and every birder in the country was immediately on that forum giving me fits for wanting to harm the poor heron. I hope PITA doesn't show up on your invitation to the deer hunters...LOL.<br /><br />We still have leaves on most of the oaks, but the pecans are loosing their leaves quickly. Come Thanksgiving, they will be bare.janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978979417557447666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-47472424620333188062009-10-28T20:59:21.634-04:002009-10-28T20:59:21.634-04:00It's so sad how quickly the trees become bare,...It's so sad how quickly the trees become bare, because that only means that the dreaded winter will be here soon.
