Y'all don't get avocado that far north do you? I'd be willing to swap some avocados out of my back yard tree for some bacon.

**crashdive123** · 06-11-2013, 09:35 PM

Not the full sized. Still pretty reasonable at the Commissary. I can always substitute more bacon.

I like to make Birfdays a week long event, BearDog is certainly no different. Amongst the manna rained on him, a pair of knee guards. A loss of bark incident inspired the purchase. Anyways, cable lube and brake adjustment lessons precluded the test fitting and test ride this evening.

This is the only place I have seen it, certainly not a scientific certainty. Rumor has it, it's the only place you can find it. My googlefu comes up short. I think:

Silene virginica L. var. robusta

A.K.A.

Fire Pink, which encompasses many plants.

Commemorating The Lend Lease Program in WWII. My dad was friends with an actual Russian pilot who flew planes from Alaska to Russia for the program. He was so interesting. Lots of men died flying those planes over there.

@ intothenew - Fire Pink and Indian Pink are both native to Indiana. I planted both a few years back when I put in a bunch of native plants. The Fire Pinks have struggled but the Indian Pinks have done great.

True dat, but;

If it is in fact the variety "robusta", that is supposedly only found in WV. I have some homework to do this weekend, and I need to carry my camera on my walk Monday to get a better pic.

The variety here is virginica...Virginica, virginica. Not sure what your pollinators are there but Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are the primary pollinators here, which is one of the reasons I planted them. It's also threated specie here mostly do to loss of habitat, which is another reason I planted them. They are very resistant to both disease and insects, which makes them ideal for planting around the house.

Eight days from today, there is a Bronc riding competition. The stage is set. No, you cannot smell my fingers.

She's so old and slow that it's no competition. She's a nice, warm, pillow.

We can always blame it on the weather, right? I thought spring was late, I was wrong. It was sweltering hot today.

I wish for at least a few more cool nights.
