Nice to hear from you wisdomseeker.
Would very much like to see your images. Especially your Tillandsia streptophylla. Looking forward to seeing mine flower.
Tillandsia streptophylla is the only tilly that have needed to spray for fungus. It really looked like it would never recover but it did with just one mild spray.
Photobucket really did a job on us all. There is a way around it now if you have posted your images. It should still be available. If you use a browser called "brave" it change the code so you can see your image no worries. Just save as and your image comes back to you. So PB wanted us all to pay $499 as ransom back then to get your images back. Now it is like $8. Will never use them again. That is twice now that they have said never and they did.
Our Australia Native bees are Tetragonula carbonaria and they are native to where we live. The hive is very busy and they look ready to do an induction (the bee people want to call it eduction). Which is basically you hook up with a "T" piece from the hive to a new hive box with the one entrance that leads into both hives. The new hive will have a viewing window so it can be opened to see how the new hive is coming along. It is easier on the bees than splitting the hive manually. Spilt honey that takes place with a split attracts predictors on the down side as well.
It has taken me most of the growing season to get the waterlilies placed so they can get enough sunlight to grow properly. Have got 6 that flowered. Out of the 16 different we will end up with about 9 to 10 waterlilies that will grow here. Have the best one that will grow in difficult areas like on a high rise building balcony. About 6 really look like they are truly miniatures.
