I’ve seen “beefalo” …it’s not a rare occurrence in the meat department
That looks dank as $#@% whoopsys!
Lester, how can you be certain of the genetics that made your volunteer? I often wonder what made the scent amount of seed on my outdoor. Was it selfed, sprayed by a neighbor plant or? I usually give fresh seed a bit of cold treatment and plant. Always fun to see what develops. Volunteers in the vegetable garden are easy to track. Weed- too many variables.

Good morning 
I’m not sure the exact name but this is cutting I got from my 93-year-old mother a few months ago took a while to root ..I plan on keeping it alive forever

Truly primal': Watch Burmese python swallow deer whole in Florida Everglades by stretching its mouth to the absolute limit
NewsBy Hannah Osborne

An invasive Burmese python in the Everglades was spotted eating a white-tailed deer around 67% of its mass by stretching its mouth to almost the maximum width of what is physically possible.

A huge Burmese python has been found swallowing a deer whole in Florida's Everglades. The impressive feat challenges what gape models suggest the invasive snakes are physically capable of.
"It felt like we were literally catching the serial killer in the act and it was intense to observe [in] real time," Ian Bartoszek, a wildlife biologist and science coordinator at the conservation organization Conservancy of Southwest Florida, told Live Science in an email.
The female Burmese python (Python bivittatus) measured 14.8 feet (4.5 meters) long and weighed 115 pounds (52 kilograms). It was discovered feasting on a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) that weighed 76.9 pounds (35 kg) — almost 67% of the snake's mass. To devour the deer, the snake's mouth stretched so wide it reached 93% of its maximum gape, according to a study published Aug. 22 in the journal Reptiles & Amphibians.
"This was the most intense and impressive sight we have observed in12 years of tracking pythons in southwestern Florida," Bartoszek, one of the study authors, said. "It was truly primal and felt like a scene that had been playing out for millions of years wherever you have large snakes. Unfortunately our native wildlife in Florida have not evolved with this apex predator and you are seeing that result with these images."
Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Everglades and were introduced at some point in the mid to late 20th century. The first sighting was in 1979, and by the 1990s they had gained a stronghold, feasting on native species while having no natural predators to control their population. While the current population size is unknown, experts estimate there could be hundreds of thousands in Florida. Over the last few decades, Burmese pythons have decimated local ecosystems, wiping out several mammal species.

Burmese pythons are known to eat deer and even alligators, but finding the predators in the act is challenging, limiting how much scientists know about what these apex predators are capable of eating, and therefore how much of an impact they're having on the ecosystem.
Beautiful canopy in a beautiful room
Picked up some local Bosc Pear Coming into season they’re delicious
The Sour Bubble was the male I was using for crosses and the mind blower was the only plant on that side of the property. I also trimmed and separated some seeds in the area the volunteer grew.
Love your pics btw!
I got her catching some sunshine ideally they need to dry out a little bit out of the water once a day
Super tacky 
…Going to twist up some Big South Pump

Figured you new for sure. On the topic of pictures, your course pictures are some of the best. Grew up next to a course and started playing at 10 yrs old. Rules were 12 but the pro loved us. The four of us would play several times a week and do odd chores. Mind you this was many decades ago. Handling the over population of ground squirrels on green banks, moving around roller bases to syringe greens during hot spells, keeping everything tidy and of course prowling the woods for lost balls. Also worked on a course as a teen as night water man. Plug in fairway heads that shot water like a cannon. Usually had my old Bluetick with me and had any coon up a tree that was on the course. I could write a book about the fun that was had on a golf course. Ask my wife about the 6th green.The Sour Bubble was the male I was using for crosses and the mind blower was the only plant on that side of the property.

Need more sunrise-sunset pics.
In honor of my favorite bass player, he passed away today
