Coming to the end!






I am still taking pictures of the giant philodendren(sp?) and when it's all over I'm going to cut it down. I think it's done a fabulous job of blooming this year. There were I think at least a dozen blooms. Twice as many as any time before. Don't know why. They usually increased each year by one or two and the season for them usually was over by the end of May. I've had these things through August and the last one is just now falling off. I want to get rid of it because it has gotten too big for the patio. Can't sit at the table or walk out the door without running into one of the huge leaves. Time for it to go.
I wanted to show the purity of the inside of the bloom, but my photo skills are pretty basic. That part is what fascinates the most. Men just get upset when they see the thing. Wonder why?

  1. Ha ha! We had a big one of those too, which we recently got rid of. I like them when they're smaller, but there comes a point when they ourgrow their prettiness.

  2. It looks like it may get up and walk away on it's own! Great photos!
