Way north bass guy Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 @12poundbass, here’s another one for you?. Our most handsome boy! We have a couple of these big Lilly’s in pots in our house and in the greenhouse, had em for years now. Every year about this time they send up one big, bright orange bouquet about the size of a basketball. A sure sign of more greenery to come for us. 3 Quote

Some do, some don't - depends on a lot of factors...how nutritive the soil is, water intake, general weather. Hot climates - like you got down there - kind of restrain the fruit growing...flowering crabs like cooler climates. Quote

To be fair I know this wasn’t the best close up picture for ID purposes. We have this redbud on one side and a large crepe myrtle on the other. Redbud always flowers well before the crepe every year. 42 minutes ago, gimruis said: Whoa. Now that's my kind of "cat." We caught 5 that day between 35 and 50 pounds on super glass like conditions. It was incredible. It was so calm that we had to use the trolling motor to drift. The biggest that day. Right at 50: 4 Quote

Ya - they're fairly rare up here - the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum had to develop a special strain that would survive MN winters. I'm more use to crabapples and one strain which I've seen in my neighborhood looks almost identical to redbuds when in flower...'Perfect Purple' variety. 4 Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted March 17, 2023 Super User Posted March 17, 2023 My neighbor has a tree that flowers that color in the spring, but has drooping branches, very pretty and dramatic, but it only lasts a few days. Not sure what it is. Quote

I could probably get a pic of a tuft of brown grass sticking out of the snow, but nothing green just yet?. That’ll change real quick though once it starts, always the way it is here in the north. 1 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted March 21, 2023 Super User Posted March 21, 2023 Riggs first time in the boat while I was rigging up. A bit of a spaz to be expected... might consider taking him out on a solo trip this spring. 14 Quote

Way north bass guy Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 This pic of the northern lights was taken last night in my hometown, Parry Sound, On. ( not by me, I was fast asleep?). I’m gonna stay up a bit tonight to see if I can spot them, shouldn’t be too hard as we have a fantastic view of the west and northern sky here, and we’re far away from any light pollution. 12 Quote
