We have a giveaway

Thanks to the super kind and gernerous TrickorTreat from Midnight in the Garden of Evil blog we have a special giveaway.

I met her when she came up for the West Coast Haunters Convention this May and she brought me presents!  One of them was this lovely book - she said I could give it away on my blog....but I thought this would be a more befitting venue to giveaway a book called "Wicked Bugs"....a signed book no less!  That is one awesome giveaway from an equally awesome blogger.

Just leave a comment on this post and we will draw a winner on Friday, June 17th.

Good luck everyone!

Cheers!

I know you won't believe me

I would not believe me :)  But I have taken pictures of our latest garden remodel I just have not gotten a chance to get them up here.

The reason why is that I am busy with this project.  We are trying to raise money for a new neighborhood park - so all us neighbors are having a plant sale at the proposed park location.  Lots of fun (and lots of work)

I don't know about you but I love buying local plants from my neighbors gardens - we are mostly into native, non-invasive plants - unlike big box stores that will sell you just about anything, whether it is good for your garden or not.

See, a Halloween gal can design something pretty with lots of white.....and not burst into flames :D

I will be back with pictures of my "scary" garden shortly.  (Scary with weeds that is!)

Happy haunted gardening everyone!!

Cheers!

If you guessed .....

Flip-flops. You're correct!!

I think this installation was in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

I sure hope the Artist got a discount on all those flip-flops......

What's it made of?

Can you guess what this lazy Monster is made of?

Mysterious Fronds

The ferns are starting to wake. They look almost insect like when the emerge.
There is a folklore tale about the fern. It is said that at midnight go to the dark and deep woods. Look there and you may find a fern flowering. This is a magic flower. It is said to give the finder the power to see beneath the earth to other realms. The realms where treasures are hidden. Good fortune will shine on the finder. Beware this magical flower is said to sometimes be guarded by the devil.

"Alien" Cactus found near Roswell

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) - Little green men are no strangers to Roswell, but now one New Mexico botanist says a little green plant has an out-of-this world connection to New Mexico.

David Salman said he was on a seed hunting trip near Roswell when he noticed a faint glow coming from what appeared to be a meteor crater.

He said it turned out the light was coming from a small patch of carnivorous cacti.

Salman said he found a cactus that eats bugs, glows and probably came to earth on a meteor.

He says he scooped up some samples to see if someone could identify them, so far no one has been able to.
