![]() Just listen to the OLLDS because we all love ya and can see the beautiful person within. I hope you can leave your parents out of it, you don't need any further angst, or to be made feel you aren't worthy, when you have to just tell them you and it broke up - you moved on. They take violence - mental and physical - against women in any form extremely seriously and stalking is now a criminal offence. I'm so glad you can get what we call an AVO - but here the Police are 150% behind the woman. It is always if you hadn't have or had have done this or that it wouldn't have happened. It is definitely a mental issue but one where they never see themselves as the problem. Mendi, I am so sorry you are going though all this - why do so many males have the need to be such absolute bullies and conniving, manipulating ones at that. So far I have another 6 bags of linen for the Wildlife people. It has become my latest hobby, and surprisingly BH is 100% behind me tossing everything old and buying anything we need nice and new and starting again. Good afternoon all, V Busy day today, trying to put the house back together again and having a wonderful time tossing. Now they are done, I actually quite enjoyed putting them together although it was time consuming, at lease they came with brilliant instructions. This is the orginal fabric I chose but then decided it might be too busy with any artwork on the walls. The last thing I want to do is to have to find new fabric - I don't think I could even handle thinking about it. While I have the use of the other one I'm not that fussed, just so long as I know for sure they have the fabric under control. I rang the ottoman guy last week and he assured me he has been onto his company about it, the fabric has been ordered so it should be safe. I used to call it champagne, but now I have the beach theme it has become sand - teehee. The new brown bathmat is beside the vanity, if you look hard and the other towels are reflected in the mirror, I have the blue in the handtowel that I have a matching towel and bathmat for but the sand coloured one I have had for a while although it is hardly used. Of course in 32 years I very much doubt I will be here anyway. ![]() What worries me is that the old brown was so out there and trendy when I did it in 1980, I just wonder how long it will be before I look at the white and wonder where my head was. I was sort of shaking in my boots posting them. By rights, it should probably be listed as Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Ogon' GOLD RUSH to preserve its original cultivar name.Oooh, thank you Bobbi, I can't tell you how much compliments mean from you guys. 'Gold Rush' was found as a seedling in a nursery in Japan where it was named 'Ogon' ('Golden Ogi' and 'Golden Mantel', also seen, are most likely translations.) Around 1993 Dutch horticulturist Peter Zweinburg of Boskoop, Holland obtained it and brought it into Europe for distribution under the name ‘Gold Rush’ ('Goldrush'). Trees will typically rise to 10-15’ tall over the first 10 years, eventually maturing over time to 70-100’ tall. It reportedly grows somewhat slower than the species. Foliage gradually turns orange-brown in fall. ‘Gold Rush’ is a cultivar that features soft, linear, feathery, fern-like foliage that is distinctively golden-yellow throughout summer. Specific epithet means resembling the genus Glyptostrobus. Genus name comes from the Greek words metra meaning with, after, sharing, or changed in nature and Sequoia to which it is related and to which fossil specimens were first referred. The twigs, needles and cone scales are in opposite pairs. ![]() ![]() Trees are monoecious, producing oval, light brown female cones (3/4” long) and pendant globose male cones (1/2” long). Foliage emerges light green in spring, matures to deep green in summer and turns red-bronze in fall. It features linear, feathery, fern-like foliage that is soft to the touch. Bark on mature trees is often deeply fissured. ![]() As the tree matures, the trunk broadens at the base and develops attractive and sometimes elaborate fluting. Seedlings grown therefrom were planted in front of the Lehmann Building at MBG in 1952 where they have now developed into large mature trees (70’+ tall). Seeds collected from the original site were made available to the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1947. However, it was not until 1941 that it was first discovered growing in the wild near the town of Modaoqi, China by Chinese forester, T. From fossil records, dawn redwood is known to have existed as many as 50,000,000 years ago. It is related to and closely resembles bald cypress ( Taxodium) and redwood ( Sequoia). Metasequoia glyptostroboides, commonly called dawn redwood, is a deciduous, coniferous tree that grows in a conical shape to 100’ tall. ![]()
