Hi Karma,

It's not the quantity, but the quality... :smile:
Your plants look fresh and green...
I also have to wait till I know if the Purple Peace becomes purple, because 20% of the Purple Peace come out green.
Exciting times :smile:

This afternoon I visited my dear friend Charya and made some pictures on my way.

I was pleasantly surprised when I entered her little garden paradise.

She has 5 plants and all came out female!!

She has her own qualities :smile:

She seperated 2 plants, that she likes the most.
One Erdpurt 2005, one Purple Peace X White Widow X Erdpurt 2005, which look very simular (the Erdpurt is pritty dominant :smile: and has huge leaves), one Teheran Devil and two White Widows.
Little paradise.

She has realy green fingers and loves gardening, a shared hobby so to say.. She grows also organicly.
Years ago, I gave her a plant called "Green Goddess".
A little Goddess at that time, but now a real Goddess Queen.. :smile:

Today was cloudy and rainy, 22 degrees.

The plants don't mind... lol

Peace, G.A.

Just visited the neighbours.

They have 1 Afghan Peace X Erdpurt

Skizzo the grandma cat has a new nest with kittens, so sweet.

The Milf weed (Haze X Indica) at the terrace is a male.
I took him away from the females.
I maybe will use a little pollin of the Milf weed to pollinate the Purple Peace.
If the Haze in the wooden box comes out male I will pollinate the Purple Peace with the 100% Haze. Let's hope it will be a female.
Purple Peace Haze :smile:
The terrace looks nice from the neighbours...


Peace, G.A.

edit: The Canna Embassy BBQ party on the 17th is full....
It looks like it will be a fun party again with some "special" guests.

Today is sunny again....

I went to a local coffeeshop and bought some nice Amnesia Haze.
2 more months and I don't need to go there anymore to buy..
Looking forward to the sweet organic herb. :smile:

On my way back home I came across some toys that were thrown away!!
They were standing near the road in a box in between dirt bags!
When I took a closer look I saw that the toys were never been used!
Crazy world, in Africa people don't have to eat and here we throw away quality toys that not have been used.
Decadent world.
I don't understand that they even didn't gave it away to the childrens daycare centre, or to a family with kids that can't buy expensive toys like that, or to charity..
I will take care of that now :smile:

The plants are sunbathing again...
It's 22 degrees and almost no wind...

The Morning Glory and sunflowers grow like crazy now also.
Love that Morning Glory. It looks like the heart of the Morning Glory shines light and the heart shaped leaves. Just a graceful flowering plant.

Have a nice day folks....

Peace, G.A.

Organic growers don't use any kind of chemicals to defeat plagues in their plants and flowers.

Not all plagues can be destroyd with "organic enemies", like Mildew and mold.

At the picture the Orius Laevagitus, the natural enemy of Spint and Trips (don't know their names in english, or Latin... :smile: ).
They are the plague for plants and flowers.

I add a link to the website.
There are pictures of the "natural enemies".
Sorry, only Dutch folks...

Hi Paddi,

They look lovely.
Following your thread... very nice work.

Highlighter, you are more lucky with the purple color.
The male Purple Peace is colored purple, but it looks like the 2 ladies are green.
Gonna use the purple male to pollinate a little.
The Haze in the box is expanding like crazy.
I think the Haze will flower soon also.

Xaviera just came back from the states where she visited the independent filmfestivals of Philidelphia and Los Angeles.
The documentary about her life "Xaviera Hollander, portrait of a sexualy revolutionary" won a price at both festivals!!

Hi Kall,

Dat glaeder mig et se Dem...

Hvordan har du?

Hvad er vejrmeldingen?... lol

All 3 plants at the front are Purple Peace Kall.
The one most at the left is a male.
The main stem of the one in the bowl was already broken after the second internode...
Also she suffers from rootbound I think, but I don't wanna take the risk to take those roots out of the bowl.
She is develloping nicely flowers.
The day started with rain, but after the rain the sun came out this afternoon. :smile: The plants love it!
It's around 22 degrees.
After the rain everything smells so nice and the birds start to sing...

Just got an sms from a friend from Kuwait....
"Arrived at Schiphol for the holiday".
Prepare the space cake please!!
Her wish is my commnend ofcourse.. :smile:

Cardiel came down when he smelled the simmering herbs..
I was coocking something different this time... :smile:

The burger prince is off now to his holiday "flipping" job. :smile:

Looks like a great weekend is coming up....

Surprise, surprise!!

Have a great weekend all...

Peace, G.A.

Wow, so close....

Around the corner of the Canna Embassy is the (south) Korean Peace museum.
The other day I was at the Canna Embassy terrace and met one of the new residents there.
Nice guy, I invited him for the party at the seventeenth.
I live here already for 10 years and I knew there was a Korean Peace museum.
Already for 10 years I am thinking: "One day I will visit that place".

This week I made a little (cultural) "Google and YouTube research" to get a little insight on the museum and history.
Finaly had to get next news from The Korea Times....

I think I will wait with visiting the Peace museum till 2009 now. :smile:

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/special/2008/07/178_23958.html

The cats are bathing in the sun in peace and at the background the back of the Korean Peace museum which will be rebuild and finished end 2009.

Also made a new little "growing for Peace clip"...

Goodmorning world,

The morning, time of the Ipomea Purpurea...



There is a Dutch saying, hard to translate, but I will give it a try: "The Morning Sun has gold in it's mouth"... (In Dutch it rimes, in English it doesn't.. Babylon) :smile:
To me the Morning Glory is like gold... shining light from the heart of the nice purple flower.....

Talking about the heart.... :smile:

"People might say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one"...
(John Lenon).

Have a nice day all...

(purple) Peace, G.A.

Can't believe it's sand!!

At the middle of the centre some artists made some sandsculptures.
The theme: "The Hague International city of Peace and Justice".
The sandsculptures are almost an exact copy of the real buildings and people...
See my own city trhough new eyes every day...

Enjoying some cake and the weekend :smile:


(purple) Peace,
