ok this may sound untrue but a few minutes ago i started walking down the street and i happen to see a worm on the ground(meerkats eat worms!)and there was a trail and i followed it and at the end was a bocay of flowers! FLOWERS! OUT OF NOWHERE! BELIEVE ME THIS IS NO JOKE! FLOWER LIVES!

Every time I see a flower I think of Flower Whiskers.

Flower doesn't share her food with just anybody.

I think she was telling you that she was proud of you.

Pronker

thanks pronker

Yup, pronker is right. Flower is proud of you.

i saw it and immediately thought of flower.

good morning. what a wonderful message. Flower's sprit does live on, in her family's memory and in our hearts and memories. how clever of you to have your eyes and mind open, volley. no doubt Flower is proud of you.

WOW! This gave me chills up and down my spine! What a wonderful message! I agree that it had to be from Flower Whiskers, whose spirit does live on. MEERKATS RULE!!!

Our Flower is watching. So is Blossom, Bubble, Ozzie, Izit and all the babies we did not know. It is said the spirit world is very close to those most in harmony with those who are now a part of it.

Each of us must have a meerkat spirit crowd following us around, but OMG, Volley you are so very special that Flower made her presence known to you.

Thank you for sharing. Sometimes I sense the presence or think I see shadows of kitties of mine, after they have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, not just once either, but mostly when I am upset or feeling a little blue. You do not know how many times I have turned my head and called a kitty's name. I am a believer... .

wow everyone thank you so much.

but i think flower is proud of all of us,like ccatz said, in our own special way.

like, how we have all contributed to this wonderful meerkat forum page, all the dedications we have done, so i think we should all be proud of ourselves.

love ya

Amazing, I couldn't really believe it at first but after reading all the other posts now I understand. Farewell Flower and live on your spirit.

Welcome dogstyclint to our burrow. Come by and say hi on our Old & New meerkat Lovers Introduce yourself thread. You will have to scroll down a bit, but you will find it.

You must tell us about your screen name!

It's funny. we have lived here only a couple of years and our plants and flowers were doing ok but not anything to call the media about. But this year everything is blooming including the wisteria and the climbing roses have gone crazy and I never made a connection until this thread opened up. Flower, you live all over my DM'sparadise he has made for us. Our backyard is Eden to us and now we have dogs, cats, Barbaro and lost in the fog grazing now we have meerkats!!!

welcome to our burrow dogstyclint.

welcome to the burrow, dogstyclint. go introduce yourself, and tell how long you've been a MM fan.
tornado, my sister, how wonderful about your plants. also please notice that this morning, I did NOT say "good morning MY pup" like a certain quirky sister would (she said self-righteously).

(im givin yall the look)

sigh... will it ever end?

still love ya
volley

My DM and his family are "yard people". My family just cut the lawn. He has shown me a great deal and Since I always wanted lilacs and wisteria like "Nancy Drew" is always talking about he swore our first real home he would plant me some. What a DM!!!! and this year they are taking off!!!

I am having an excellent season of Flower Blooms myself! No small feat here in the Mojave desert! I even had some bulbs blooming that haven't for a couple of years and a California poppy too!

OMG!!! YOU HAVE POPPIES??!! Ours are bright reddish orange and are huge!! Dm is proud. He says this is the year he joins the city's garden club.

Funny, my Flowers are in full bloom also. Normally my front yard looks like the Mojave Desert. Neighbors and passerbys are actully stopping to look and we are behind in the rain fall....this gets curiouser and curiouser.

I think ccatz may be right.... hmmmmmmmmmmm!

These are very powerful messages to us from the other side. What better way for FLOWER and BLOSSOM to let us know that they are watching over us and APPROVE of what we are doing, like helping the SI kats, than making gardens grow better than they ever have before. Same thing here at our burrow with the jade and the roses! This is AWESOME and awe inspiring! MEERKATS RULE!!!

Dear Flower

Please keep the aphids off my Iris and Roses this year.

Thanks for watching over us.

Pronker

Flower will always live in our hearts as with all the other departed meerkats that we all love very much.
eruth

Dear Flower, please keep the honeysuckle and wild blackberries out of my climbing rose this year. And thank you for everyone else's beautiful flowers.We miss you.

well darn. got triggered. must be that pesky southern vine that smells sweet and smothers everything - honey______.

If you plant marigolds and/or sunflowers near your roses and iris, it will help keep the aphids away. That's what i do with my catnip.

Our "eden" looked quiet good until all this rain. It has pelted down for days really hard and my DM's garden has been almost pulverized especially these last three days.

balletcat, do you plant marigolds near the catnip, or catnip near the roses?

ok its either flower proud of you or she just made a crank call

I plant marigolds next to the catnip. The aphids like catnip but somehow prefer marigolds. And also, marigolds attract praying mantis which eat aphids. Lady bugs (and, especially, lady bug larvae) eat aphids too. For roses, i would plant marigolds at the base of each rose bush.
