I lived on the third floor and set it in my window during the day with the blinds up so it could get lots of sunlight. It did beautifully until I had to go home for the summer and it had to live outdoors at my parents’ place. 🙁 Poor thing was eaten up by bugs within a few weeks.

I leave the lights on for 12 hours and off for 12. Unfortunately roses usually don’t do so well indoors, but I have heard of people with only one or two that successfully do so by taking them out to soak up some sun during the day.
From what you guys have mentioned, I think I’m going to just try growing the full size version outdoors. 😆
Kachina wrote:I currently only have about 50 roses in the yard. I was up to several hundred at one point but thinned them back to only the ones I truly love. My passion in roses is minis, lavender, and stripes. Doesn’t matter what kind, hybrid tead, grandifloria, single, it’s all good. I adore minis, and there are some really beautiful ones out there. I’ve been experimenting the last couple years with growing those indoors year round since they can be grown in pots and have had some decent success. I love going out in the summertime and bringing in a big bouquet of fresh cut roses, they just smell so wonderful. I’d suggest the minis for anyone who’s looking for a lot of beauty and sometimes fragrance for small spaces. I’ll post some rose pictures as well once I’m able.
Beautiful roses! The Double Delight is my favorite. Your garden must look really amazing — you need to show us some pictures of it sometime! By the way, when you’re growing the minis indoors, how much sun do they need?

Plumeria is beautiful — I also saw those when I went to Kauai a few years back. But its too cold for them where I am too.
The feathers you painted look lovely!
The snow muse is really neat. And it looks like the muse made friends with your dogs pretty fast! 😆
Oh wow, those are beautiful! I especially like the one with the wolf head.
Could you let us know approximately what the cost is for a feather commission?
Welcome!
What kind of roses are you growing? I love red roses and have been thinking about trying to grow some roses in a pot on the deck, since the available spots in my garden don’t get enough sun for roses.
I’m always on the lookout for interesting plants that I can put on the deck, and this year I have a bunch of tulip bulbs that I need to plant in pots soon. What other plants to do you like to grow?

Awww….thats really cute!starbreeze wrote:Mimi, I love that dancing squirrel!!
I’m glad you liked it! 😀
That’s probably what the squirrels do when no one’s watching… 😆
What you’re going through right now sounds terrible. But I think its just a matter of time before the medication will start having effect and start making you feel better.
I’m sorry that your mom isn’t being more supportive, but it could be for the reasons that twindragonsmum mentioned. I’m really glad that you got that anxiety book! I think reading it will also help you to deal with the lack of support…that book really is like having an understanding coach right there with you, giving you support.
If you practice the exercises in the book, I think in time you’ll be able to teach yourself how to effectively cope with the anxiety attacks and perhaps eventually eliminate them altogether, the way my friend did. Best of luck with that!
