Birthday posts are not allowed here but Patsie Hatley (@Hatley) turns 91 tomorrow so her post said. It was written on 14 November so that’s today for me.
Patsie had been a member for nine years and has contributed 6,732 discussions. What a wonderful achievement - to be still contributing at 91 years of age and with so many posts. She also creates her own artwork.
Perhaps if you have time you might like to visit Patsie’s post and wish her a Happy Birthday. I’m sure it would make her day. I know birthday posts are against the rules but perhaps it will be up long enough for people to see and take notice of.
And so it’s not all about birthdays I thought you might like to see my hippeastrum which blooms each year despite an almost total lack of care from me. There are another two buds on the plant. I think this is a common colour but it’s still very pretty.

I think Patsie is so feisty. Sometimes her posts are a bit hard to read. Perhaps she has issues with her sight but she still keeps going. I really admire her for still being able to use her computer at her age. I know a lot do but many more don't.

@ilocosboy I think I have read about it at some time but I can't remember now. It's some sort of graphics programme I think.

Gorgeous plant, Judy. I don't know whether I've ever seen one before. I know I'm not familiar with the name. I will look for Patsie's post as I missed this yesterday.

@JudyEv I have a house plant, a Christmas cactus that sounds seems to get a similar treatment from me. I rarely water it yet it has new blooms. Anna thinks it's because I dent over water it that its blooming again. I think it needs a bit more water than I tend to give it.
Whoops, that's my sideways, uncropped version.

@MarshaMusselman I've seen these and they are beautiful. Certainly a cactus wouldn't appreciate being over-watered.

@m_audrey6788 I'm glad you participated. I'm going to try to make more effort to read her posts as she gets a bit disheartened when few people interact with her.
