Fresh Roses

[terracolson]

They havent left the kitchen counter, i really like visiting them all the time, since the kitchen is my hang out spot and its perfect for the light

 

[DonaTello's-Mom]

Oh I love the roses. Mine have bloomed too, so pretty especially wrapped around your baby!

 

[terracolson]

Yes ...i got a video of her just now, i am working on getting it into photobucket

 

[DonaTello's-Mom]

Oh man, I just hacked all my roses down. Aphids, so I couldn't have used them anyways. My babies are in my kitchen too! They look beautiful with all those petals.

 

[terracolson]

Aphids, use soapy water, that gets rid of them

I've been feeding roses a lot lately too. Even Millie got a little. I just got some mantid egg cases to control aphids. Much more fun than soapy water.

 

[terracolson]

millie.. yeah!!!

When you have time, send me a pic!

I am sure Hermy would think they look yummi I think they are beautiful, I love roses

 

[pugsandkids]

I've tried soapy water, and ladybugs. Next will be mantis's! I just don't want them hunting my hummingbirds.

I never knew this!

Isn't it wonderful that we can enjoy flowers (in this case roses) ourselves then once they start aging, just snip them off and they become tortoise food.

I love the second time around roses!! Your right, I have some 18 or so bushes outside and smell them all day long, and once i bring them in, i smell them in the enclosure! its great!
