I wonder if they'd grow here in Washington state? There are lots of azaleas and rhododenrons here like they are all over the place in Western NC. So some things do grow in both states. Maybe gardenias will too.<br />Love, RosemaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263724310104081061.post-90692812481810343592011-06-10T14:22:44.534-07:002011-06-10T14:22:44.534-07:00Interesting thoughts, A.

I just watched a show last night about people overcoming limitations - in unusual ways. It pulls sci-fi, comics & measuring skill/abilities in a scientific manner - http://www.history.com/shows/stan-lees-superhumans<br /><br />Last night they had a guy who uses click sounds to do echo location because he is blind. Another guy can bend wrenches and other metal items with his bare hands. They discovered he uses more muscle fiber than normal humans. <br /><br />What does this have to do with pottery/art right? Well everyone has a special viewpoint on the world. I had a friend that used to blindfold her self to draw - and she came up with the most amazing pieces of art. <br /><br />It might be interesting to limit one sense & see what unfolds with the others while creating a piece of pottery/art. Or look at the world thru another person's eyes - visualize what the skin of a pot would look like if you could see sound waves rolling off it (like echo location). I guess I'm just blabbering now - but I hope it makes a little sense.amikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308039075567497704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263724310104081061.post-60298032615014022842011-06-10T07:28:45.069-07:002011-06-10T07:28:45.069-07:00Rosie, on the gardenia bush pot.

I jsut brought it inside again to enjoy them, and because so many leaves were falling off in the 90 degree southern sun where it was. They are no longer turning yellow and falling off, so it's happy again. I looked up temp range they like, and am surprised how many I saw in FL planted outside that were happy.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873859681085807056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263724310104081061.post-53108002114584572011-06-10T06:30:44.750-07:002011-06-10T06:30:44.750-07:00Speaking of time travel, I highly recommend THE TI...Speaking of time travel, I highly recommend THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE for a beautifully written book and a fascinating take on the subject.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.com
