Bryan Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Last year I became aware of cyclamen as late season house plants, so I bought some seed and raised a few. They have a range of colours from white to deep red, but my favourite is this one with a mix of the two. The plants were grown from F1 hybrid seed, so any seed taken from this plant won't come true, but it might be worth a try ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I love cyclamen. They like my city windowsill and when they are not blooming the leaves are also beautiful. They will usually only bloom for one season but once I had one that went on and on. Paulette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette When cyclamen in pots are finished flowering I plant them out in a shaded spot in my garden. Mostly they tend to disappear but I have a white one that continues to flower every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hyde Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) A couple of uploads following a walk up Sugar Loaf Mountain in The Brecons, Wales on Saturday. The Welsh Mountain Ponies are free to roam the hillsides in the Brecons and play an important role in keeping the uplands in good condition. They’re quite tame and these were two of five that wandered up really close to us. Edited November 3, 2022 by Steve Hyde 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Harris Hawk. I took everyone's advice and ditched the busy sky and replaced it with a solid blue. Mega improved the image. These images were all taken at the Candadian Raptor Conservancy about 4 hours from me along Lake Erie. They raise the birds themselves and offer photography sessions. Money goes to their wildlife program where they assist injured birds. They had 30 birds in their "hospital" when I was there. We were not allowed to go near the wild birds. 4 year old Bald Eagle Little Owl Merlin Falcon I'm looking forward to going back in the winter and taking more images. Great way to spend a few hours.

Bryan Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Mid November and still warm enough to go without gloves, eerie or what? We spent a few pleasant hours in Berwick upon Tweed yesterday and occasionally the sun shone.

Betty LaRue Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Allan Bell said: Poor worm. Allan That poor worm and his buddies were decimating my tomato plants. It was creepy picking them off with that scary horn. I must’ve picked off a couple of dozen. I could have a fully leafed tomato branch in the evening, nothing but a bare stalk by morning. Their color allows them to hide deep in the plant during daylight hours. Last year I couldn’t figure out what was doing it, but this year I finally spotted one and knew what to look for. I also had something laying eggs that penetrated the tomatoes causing little holes, then spotting a tiny worm inside. I couldn’t identify this worm.

Steve F Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I've painted this tree several times when I was younger. But I'm tempted to paint it again with these colours!

Allan I agree Allan but the RNLI can't, personally as he was on the rocks out of the boat and in no danger until the tide turned would have left him there for 8 hours, teach him a lesson.

Allan Colorado mountain rescue does thing since sometime in the 1960s or 1970s if the rescue necessary due to stupidity. I think Iceland was trying to do something similar with tourists who didn't listen to local weather and traffic advice. Here has a law that hikes on certain mountains have to be guided. My town had been sending up an armed cop with foreign hikers going up to Pena de la Cruz. One set of hikers came down all semi-outraged and asked if that was necessary. I told them yes.
