from the last posting, this particular plant has now three extensions like this. Beschorneria Yuccoides, known as Mexican Lily. Its huge and its dramatic!
Thankful for;
The new lawn mowing lady came today and she asked for much more money as it took her longer than she expected. It was a first mow but John said, next mow might not be so long. Our previous mowers always took 20 mins - 2 of them with a ride on mower but they charged even less than this new one is. John is not happy and neither am Ii!
The Mexican lily looks huge and pretty color! Did you agree on a set price for the mowing? She should have honored that price and renegotiated for next time!
@gardenfolk She thought it would take 1 hour and said her price then found it took 1; 1/2 hours and said $75! But John gave her an extra $10 for the;first cut' and said next time it won't be so thick. But I don't agree - our lawn is very thick.
I get mine mowed for free. My nieces husband loves using the riding mower on both our properties. So I buy the mower and he mows. He loves it so much that my niece had to keep telling him not to mow when the dry spell caused it to grow very slow.
Such a gorgeous flower and capture . The sign of our times Maggie !! everything seems to rocket in price and it is so difficult to accept it . fav for the beautiful flower !
@beryl Difficult because there are only a few contractors here mowing, and .. they have to be competitive. Not charging you the most because you look as if you have money.
this certainly does look dramatic and you have caught the elegant lines and definition of each leaf/petal just perfectly. (sorry to hear about the mowing costs)
That price could add up over the summer maggie! It’s a pity Harry doesn't live near as he loves mowing grass. Sounds like the new lady hasn’t got a ride on if it takes that much longer! Can’t John mow it or has he sold his ride on? Now he has his cataracts done he might be up fir it again. Sounds a lot if money to me! Might be worth getting mower & asking sone enterprising school boy to earn some money!
That is a real bummer re the lawnmowing, I suppose prices are skyrocketing all over.
