Hi Guys Here the plant from hell And I went thru hell Trying to find one Ha Caution! long story I been looking for Pyracantha bush in Phoenix since I saw one in downtown Portland, Oregon It jogged memories of the bush that was at the home I grew up in I drove thru lots of Phx hoods to see if I could spot one & went to couple plant nursery. Well Whitfield’s Nursery had the little beasties The lady gardener that led me to the location, in her enthusiasm unfortunately reached out to show the plant, & one of those fire thrones really poked her finger. uuuggghh... I felt real bad because she was enthusiastic, friendly, and reall informative. But that damn firethorn really poked her. Anyway a week or so ago I drove by my home I grew up in. That Pyracantha bush is still there. Huge! I mean its more like a tree. Its damn near 80 years old. I took lots of pictures. I wasn't sure if that was the same bush. Now I’m sure it is. In the autumn those little green dromes turn a bright red. I’ll go back and photograph that. But going back into the old haunts & hood is sort of…. well... maybe....it best not to dredge up to many laid low memories,,,mostly Thanks for looking … Ed

mohs, Interesting posts, thanks. Glad your childhood pyracantha bush is still thriving. I'm reminded of a house I owned in Salt Lake City that had a big pyracantha hedge with bright red-orange berries. In the Fall, after a couple of hard freezes, the berries began to ferment. I always got a laugh watching the flocks of drunken birds, mostly robins, who gorged on the alcoholic fruit.

I think I got a solution on killing gnats
These damn gnats are smart & fast Nothing attracts them. Except light. And only vaguely. If your lucky enough to get a swat at them and miss They evade that area.
Ha. Dark room. Open microwave door. Light attract gnats. In they fly. Slam door. Irradiate
Now this is just a working hypothesis Couple days I’ll have more data & hopefully more dead gnats
August humidity not the best time

Yo Don ! its really great to see you about things must have settled down hope that a good thing...m Hey Ed, I finally sold my house last October and moved in with my daughter and family. All my rock stuff was in the garage piled on top of each other. Finally got a small space to set up some things and am now able to get into rock stuff. It's a good thing.
