Moss Rose DOWN....


 I took above photo Tuesday evening as part of a coming soon post, and Wed. 4 AM, Bob let the dogs out and there was a critter as in possum sitting on the table, the dogs leapt, the possum leapt the table went over end to end and catapulted  the big pot 6 feet away onto the  concrete pool deck


Never Fear... the plant is salvaged and when I placed the 30 plus pieces of the clay pot in the bucket.... You Know The Rest Of The Story...

first I aimed La Camera at the bottom of the bucket and SNAPPED!


and then....... and then.... I "PICMONKEYED" IT!  because I could....

and the root bound plant now has a bigger better home and lives happily ever after....

  2. Well they say everything happens for a reason and this happened for a very good reason :)
    So what is the lightbulb for in the plant?
    I seriously like bucket as a backdrop for the picture of the clay pot pieces. Did you use a flash for that or was it bright enough that you didn't have to?

    It's all how the eye sees it...

  14. Ahhhh--you take such good care of your pretty plants. That moss rose probably needed to be re-potted anyhow since it was root-bound. SO--I guess it all happened for the best.

  19. sorry about the disaster, but glad your pretty plant has a new bigger home.

    a light bulb in with plants! yikes, you have me baffled.

    Which isn't nice to do (baffle) a person with a head full of cotton. Or it feels that way, anyway. lol

  21. This plant may well reward you with loads of flowers now.

  22. I love stories with happy ending.

  23. Hahaha, that crash probably work up a neighbor or two. At least everything turned out well, the plant got a new pot and MadSnapper got photos of broken pot.

    Is the light bulb a solar power experiment?
