Ohhh my tutor Hywel! How kind of you! I knew you would know the name and thought about asking you to give me the ID but I was too embarrassed to do that. Thank you soooo very much! xxx

Your plant should be blooming soon.

Really?????????
That'll be really really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, if it blooms like here in California (from: Dec - March).

Jade plant is so widely grown as a landscape shrub to 10ft/3m, or taller, here.

3m... That's humongous!

The tallest one I've ever seen was approximately 12ft/3.7m tall. My across-the-street-neighbor used to have a forest of gigantic Jade plants...they were all taken out in 2003, because coyotes were living in them.

Coyote? I only heard of the name and don't know how it looks like. I'm going to google it now.

Tommymoo:

Coyotes can be a big problem here in California...they're worse than bears or mountain lions. Although, people are more afraid of the mountain lions and bears!

I have to make sure to go out with my little dog at night...because coyotes snack on little to medium size dogs and cats. There's so my sad stories about coyotes taking little dogs from their owners and eating them. It happens a lot even in the urban areas.

My goodness, the wolf-like animal is a real menace to your community! Can you shoot them? Or is it illegal?

24 Nov, 2011

 

Coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, foxes and bears can only be shot under life-threatening conditions, only. Most wild life is protected. The California mountain lion was almost hunted to extinction in the late 60's and early 70's by ranchers. They're populations (throughout California) have really exploded in the last 30 years or so.

Another new animal appeared. Bobcat! I have to google it. I learn lots of new things here :o) Lions live in California? My! Surprise surprise. Are you going to tell me next that gorillas live in California? Just kidding lol

25 Nov, 2011

 

I looked at some images of bobcats and they are just adorable! The sweet looking animal can be life-threatning? Hard to believe.

25 Nov, 2011

 

Yes, Bobcats are very common in the rural areas. It's funny because they've taken over foreclosed homes where my dad lives. Bobcats are cute, but you would want to meet up with one! I don't think there's been any deaths to humans caused by a bobcat, though (Mountain lions are another story). By the way, no gorillas here! LOL! :>) (only at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park).

Tommymoo:

Mountain lions are also called: Cougars. However, virtually all people just know them as mountain lions.

Thanks for all the wild-life info, Delonix! Much obliged :)

You're very welcome! :>)
