ABADS recently asked their members to submit their photos of Dats and Brugs for our annual Calendar contest.

They have now posted a link to them and the voting is open to the Public so I am posting this here should you wish to participate.

Only one vote per IP # ( person) so be sure you have the 13 choices ( one for each month and the one with the most votes gets the front cover) you wish on your first email.

Send your vote to:

calendar@abads.org

and place 'Calendar Contest' in the subject line.
In 9 days there will be a second contest of different photos for a different layout and I will post that one here too.

You can see the photos here:
http://www.abads.org/2008CalendarContest/index.html
(and be sure to click on the thumbnails to see the larger image.)

The 2008 Calendars will be available for purchase from CafePress soon after the contest closes. The monies generated from the sales goes toward ABADS Educational projects.

You're link isn't working! I think you have an extra (>) in the HTML coding!

Thanks Mike. Pretty bad when the forum 'Tech' screws up isn't it?

It's working now.

That's okay, Ruth Ann, anytime I can help you with these tech problems, I am glad to do so ---- !!!!!!!!!!
BTW, there are some gorgeous photos there, but none to compare to the ones you and Shirley post on this forum.

I'm glad it was you RA and not me this time when I could not get thru to the link. Figured I was having a techno-challenged day due to being in pain with my back. I still have days I cannot post pics and other days I have no problems.
The pictures are beautiful but I have seen lots of photos on the forum that should be there too!
Thanks for posting!

Welcome back Ruth Ann. Thanks for the reminder about voting. They are all so pretty!! I need to get my votes in lol but first I have to decide-that's the hard part I just ordered some seeds from ABADS-looks like they have some good ones for November! I couldn't resist~ even though I need more seeds like I need a hole in the head LOL!

This 'Landscape' version is now closed and I will post the winners when the counting is completed.

If you are unsure, then wait until the end of the second contest and then chose which layout and set of images you would rather have.
Thank you.

ANd congratulations to you Ruth Ann, I noticed a couple of your plants in the finals!

French Kiss is beautiful, I've never seen a datura like that. I'm going to try to hunt down some seed for it. Really nice job.

Thank you. That Datura, French Kiss came back this year as a self sewn seed all on it's own and over wintered in the garden here in Zone 5. I didn't have the heart to get rid of it once I saw it there so left it be in among the 4 O'clocks.
