I have multiple calla flowers (absolutely none flowered this year, I don't know why. They'll always do so well). I don't have Lillie's any more as they have been eaten every year by lilly beetles... And they are so quick and voracious.... But they are very beautifull indeed and easy to grow

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
