So, OverEggstended...do you photograph flowers then? That rose was very beautiful.

Go Peep...love the picture of your kitty stalking. Have any of them brought a live "whatever" inside the house, then let it go? Our cat has done it a couple of times. It was real "fun" trying to catch it and keep it away from the 2 dogs and the cat who were all trying to catch it along with my husband.

Yes- Shadow my young one decided to bring a half live baby bunny in the house- my fiancée started leaving our sliding door open so the cats could go in and out as they wanted- Now I've thought long and hard about putting in a kitty door but when our cat that adopted us decided to start bringing home her family support critters I said it wouldn't be a good idea- here's where it proved my point- luckily I didn't actually see it but my fiancée did and tried to hurry and clean it up before I did- BUT when I came in I saw fluffs wondering what it was picked it up thinking he shredded his toy- NOPE not even close- I guess Shadow hauled butt in the house with the baby bunny and decided it was fun to toss around while still slightly alive-

and this is why we can't have nice things ! So now the door can be open but with screen door closed so no more presents in the house

It WAS a beautiful picture. And I DO photograph flowers. But, I cannot take any credit on either its growing nor photographing. I was simply replying to its poster.

I CAN'T post pics. This site hates me. A lot.

So I was sitting here looking at the bare stump in the middle of my lawn and since its decomposing anyway from the vines - I think it'd look really cute with a draping plant in the stump, then the dirt area smaller plants with a pretty rock ground cover- thoughts?

My problem is I don't know plants and what would work - the stump I think had gotten some morning sun, afternoon shade and now evening sun- course that as of this time of season- since the sun drop during winter there's not much sun do to all the trees as you can see in photo

Are you looking for evergreen or deciduous? Whatever you do- don't plant any kind of ivy!

The rose is Mercury Rising. Whatever you do don't buy it. SUPER thorny. I shovel pruned it to make way for Hot Princess and Hannah Gordon

LOL Overeggstended! BTW- your Zephrine wins the OGR (old garden rose) class alot. It's beautiful in a spray and smells great. Rugosa's smell the best of any rose, ever. You really picked good ones!
Glad to hear the babies are happy- so fun to watch. I never get tired of it. Give them a worm for me, or a potato bug

That whole stump was taken over by ivy- where the dirt is, that how far it went and it was level with the stump itself- our hired hand had to use metal cord and his truck to yank it out- that's how much there was and how long it's been there- previous owner let over grow to cover stump, but she never thought about how it would at some point take over lawn- I found legs popping up out of the lawn now -sigh -

I thought spider plant and just trim legs off to plant in hanging planters - I'd like something cute that can handle small to medium amount of sun- moss did grow on stump so come winter loses sun - with little care. I really don't want to go flowers (very bad allergies) but I'm think it may need color to make it cute and attractive

I'm stumped. Really! Stumps are difficult to deal with. We tried that stump away rot stuff. Nadda. Waste of money. I'm sorry I'm no help!

Stump is decomposing due to the vines, it easily just peels away actually- reason why I thought about using it as a planter- center is so mushy it's super easy to take the garden shovel and loosen it up to put soil- I just don't know of plants I can plant in it due to it doesn't get sun all day because of the trees - it gets some morning, afternoon shade then evening sun - winter moss grows mostly - I'd really like to utilize what remaining stump is there for a center piece planter- Overeggstended gave me one planting idea, course had vines in it, unless I could replace those with something else so I'm not back to battling ivy vines again

I always tease my mother with her Roses...she loves her roses- I always tell her that "she's trying to kill me with roses"...lmao --- No one can figure out how I killed the cactus plants.... even i don't know really, but I did.

my mother is the same way...she has a black thumb...she killed an air plant!
