So is cinnamaldehyde, which is why it's used in gum.

So is Everclear which is why it's used in, umm, drinks.

And for cleaning copy machines.

Copy machines! That's what I meant!

I was completely driven to take some pics of suction canisters and sponges soaked in blood from a C-Section last night for this contest but I resisted. Carry on.

Thank you ever so much. But remember us for the Pink Photo Contest!:p:

Here's looking at you, red.

It's blooming for Christmas!
and so is my African violet. It would be an ugly plant if it wasn't so perfect.

Did not make it for Christmas... planted on Halloween

It would be a perfect plant if it wasn't so ugly !

:p:

Merry Christmas, Sky.

The Christmas Cactus is quite special in our family.
It started with a cutting (?) from my grandmother in Tennessee,
went with my Mom to California for a generation,
then to my wife while we were in Texas.
It's now divided among our 3 daughters, and still blooming at Christmas time.

So, not making fun, yours is perfect and a great remembrance for me.

@ foot.....which half? half a foot?

Thanks Lamp. Merry Christmas to you! and thank you.

It needs re-potted. When is a good time? I've let it go for so long, I am afraid of killing it but by what you said, they are very hardy plants.

Twas the day after Christmas... almost made it

Still trying and still perfectly ugly

wow, what a difference a day makes! ...sometimes

Twas Christmas+2
And my blooms finally popped through
Amaryllis is my name
And blooming red is my fame !
