What's outside of your picture window today?

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Nov 25, 2020

As we get ready for the real winter to show up and COVID-19 still playing a major part in our lives I like to spend moments of my day de-stressing about what's going on in the world today. All I have to do is look out the window and observe some of natures beautiful creatures, how they interact and ponder how small it makes my troubles seem. Sometimes I may even get the opportunity to take a photo or two. How about you? Anything going on outside of your window(s) that you want to share?

For those members that have the ability to size your photos before you upload them to the discussion, may I suggest using the following sizes:
– 500 x 335 pixels (landscape)
– 210 x 210 pixels (square)

@sueinmn, @loribmt, @merpreb, and all...
I need your help. This is my last message for a bit.

What is this plant? One of the ones I rescued 2 weeks ago. No info, no care notes, no name. Couldn't find it on any of my sites plus no laptop!! Limited! GRRRRRR..

It's succulent, note huge, weird bulbous trunk. Had no limbs, branches,eaves. Just the bulb trunk.

I water 2x weekly with purified water, it likes the window in my bedroom, facing southish, about 4 feet from window.

Not much soil, like a couple of other plants I got. Moss on top.

OK. My plant geniouses...help!! In pic you see limbs, leaves, new green.ove it andskes me soooo happy...
Thanks. Elizabeth

No clue here - let's try again when the leaves come out more.

Yuk! Not this late in May.
45 here and windy - that's bad enough.

Hi Elizabeth, you sure have a plant menagerie! Love it!
I have no idea what this plant is but it sure look like Avocado leaves and trunk! Maybe @sueinmn will recognize it.

Sorry about your computer biting the dust! I know it’s a bummer having to type everything out on the phone! Hope you get a replacement soon. ☺️

I can't tell, but could this also be a money plant?

@merpreb , Merry, wish I were! Going somewhere. Alas, no, I'm home for the duration. Hopefully friend and I may drive soon to St Augustine for a visit to the Columbia Restaurant. It's fun, pretty drive. Short. Few miles south along the beach. St Augustine was established be the Spanish, historic city a d fun to walk the old section, shops are sweet and great small restaurants, desserts, lots of history. I can't do the fun stuff anymore, but the Columbia is a good excursion when I'm some stronger.well see...
Be well, elizabeth

@merpreb and all...You're wonderful! I'm thinking money tree as well. Leaves kind of look right, but haven't grown with multiple fan like leaves at end of branch. We'll see....Thanks for app tip. This will be fun...
Be blessed. Elizabeth
