Good evening Rocky !
Good evening B.

Had some cool weather on Friday with all the rain when I was down your way. I was mostly in St. Augustine on Thursday though. Enjoyed my grandson's b-day in Palm Coast Saturday. It was warm, but not to bad by Florida standards.

Good deal ! Today my car read 99 degrees but we always have a breeze , in Orlando we have no breeze . Too much pavement.

There are some wonderful people on this forum, and in this world!

My wife and I just received a box from Shelley @code4, absolutely overflowing with freshly dug irises of every color you could imagine!

Each one was thoughtfully labeled by color and variety. When she said she was sending them, I offered to pay her for them and all she asked was that we pay it forward. That's probably a good thing because my wife said, "do you know how much that would've cost me if I'd bought them retail?"

Thank you so much! I will make sure to pay it forward.

I’m home kids! Discovered my CBB dead 😢 . I thought getting it pre-quarantined and feeding it what it had been eating for 6 weeks would give me a great chance of success but I hadn’t seen it eat in 10 days. Not sure if I’ll pull the trigger again. She looked so beautiful in my tank.

that sucks Kev. I think they are just a hard species. my lfs said they usually lose their slime coat and believe it's due to gassing them at capture.
