Did I mention I'm a plant geek???

[cenaub4]

See, I never had any friends in HSchool as I never spoke plain English. I still don't. I tend to speak Plant Latin and hang out with other Plant Geeks. I even belong to two societies that regularly speak Plant Latin.

The pictures are fun to look at....

This is the park where the Plant Geeks meet.

People bring in the blooms as the plants tend to be brittle and prone to breakage, not to mention their size when in bloom...im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5db29b3127cce91d7ed82fbf500000016108AcNG7JozatJ
These are Epiphyllums, also known as Orchid cactus, or Jungle orchids.

This is the Epiphyllum Societys shade house at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. See, I'm not the only geek in town!

cenaub4; thoes are some beautiful flowers. but i'm having a hard time understanding, how you can call yourself a plant geek, just cause you talk too your plants.

I understand the part about the not having alot of friends, and I talk too my plants, but I also talk too, the fish, birds, my car, the dog, and my best friend, my old fat cat. so what kind of a geek, does that make me?

[cenaub4]

No, I tend to go round saying things out loud to other people, like 'Oh, that Epiphyllum strictum is a night bloomer with good scent.'

The first time I told my mother I really wanted a Kalanchoe beharensis, she threated to wash my mouth out. The next time I told her that her Euphorbia milii was growing very well, and looking good, she looked sideways at me and said 'Bless you, you DID just sneeze, right?'

I talk to all my plants, all the time. I'm almost afraid to tell y'all that I have about 300 different ones in pots. Yep, touched in the head, definately. But my mommy loves me!

We have 3 cats, and 5 chickens. I have one cat that is strictly mine, and she talks back. Sleeps under the covers with me. Follows me around. Comes when I call. She is more like my child than my child!

I try not to go round making judgements about folks. Especially ones I just met. I would never begin to tell you what kind of geek you are...

And you sat at the coolest table in the lunch room. Where all the geeks, nerds, dorks an hippys hung out. ( I think I was a dorky hippy)

Elmer is a NO BRAINER GEEK even til this day ~ what a fruitcake~

[cenaub4]

OH, tell Elmer I said Hi!!!

Golly, I miss him.

Yeah, you're right. I had great friends. It takes time to see what friends are made of, and realize that even though you didn't know it, you were blessed.

[GRANDMA COW]

[olhillbilly]

Hey now! I dont know about now, but back in school, me an elmer was buddies.

How is his little brother doing? Last time he and I talked they had put stints in to drain the fluid, and had a couple of complications. I haven't heard anything for 27 years.
