It was just laying in a pot of a stapeliad I got from a sale at our botanical garden of succulents and cactus.

I'ts about a inch long, slightly oval, and about as big around as my index finger.. sorry, forgot to take pic of finger..lol!

I burried it about 1/2 on its side, and it sprouted in about 10 days, and the seedling is almost 3 weeks old now.

The poor thing is stretching for sun though. Tomorrow I'm going to set it outside for a bit.

Each set of leaves seems to be offset from eachother.

Close up of the seed...

This is going to drive me nuts not knowing! LOL!

What on earth is a geoduck!?? LOL!!!

JoJo

Sorry I don't have more to add, but that thing is pretty gross (not your seed, of course)...

Josh

I asked hubby this morning, and he said he didn't know, but it sounded like something you should have a tag for! ( hunting) Looking at it maybe he was right! ROFL!!!

Thank you hadrian for sharing that info.

JoJo

The seed made ME think of a jatropha.

Yuck, on the geoduck!

It does look like a jatropha seed now that you mention it. Keep posting pictures.
Tally HO!

Hi Jojo!

Mike

Keep us posted with more photos.

Ewwww on the geoduck...that's pretty gross!!

Norma~ The seed was just laying in a pot of Stapeliad hirsuta that I bought at a succulent sale at our botanical gardens.
I was thinking it was large for a succulent also, so it's a huge mystery to me.
But considering what type of plant it was sitting in, I gotta wonder if it is a succulent or not.

Mike~ Great minds think alike!! :)
I was just telling Mike this morning, it may eat us when it grows up! LOL!
"Little shop of Horros" (gosh that doesnt look spelled right!)

Pac Man~~ Oh gosh, I feel old now~ ROFL!!!

It doesn't seem to be a jatropha from what I saw on a google image search.

JoJo

Hubby says if it talks, he shoots! LOL!

JoJo

It just looks so familiar. Not any palms or cycads I'm familiar with, plus, like you say the leaves are wrong.

How tall are your ceilings anyway? You may need to cut a hole in the roof for this one LOL!
Tally HO!

I live in a trailor! It will be going outside if it gets big!

JoJo

Whatever you do, don't stand next to it!!!
Kevin : ])

Oh, around $5...

Shall we revoke your joke priveleges?

Tommy.... ;-)

Josh

Mike, tell mom sorry... I missed the joke, had a crazy moring...

O.K. Josh, I'll bite...

Tommy who...:)

Linda~~The seed was just laying in a pot of Stapeliad hirsuta that I bought at a succulent sale at our botanical gardens.
I will try and get you a better idea of size in a bit.. Just got home...

JoJo

I may have to go with bunnygurl on this one...;)
JoJo

But maybe you'll like this one better?

There are two bears in a forest, eating a clown.
The one bear turns to the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?"

Josh

thanks!

Josh

'Why the long face?'

There are two muffins on a baking sheet, warming in the oven.
As the temperature rises, one of the muffins says, "Is it getting hot in here?"
The other muffin screams, "Agghhhhhh!!!! A TALKING MUFFIN!!!!"

Josh

He ordered beer and a mop!

Mike

I will post new pictures in a week or so with the new growth. it is growing fast!

As for the rest of the thread, everyone is having fun! So let the jokes fly! Its winter and everyone is getting board. :)

Josh, the talking muffin got a chuckle here..:) In all honesty , so do the bad ones! LOL!!

Keep having fun everyone!

But I have no way of finding out what the pot was near. The plant it was sitting in was bought at a sale of various succulent growers, and there is no contact info on the pot.

I found it the day after buying it. I have no such trees here or squirrels. :)

JoJo

I came up with this one (I'm pretty sure) a while ago. Kinda gotta know movies and be relatively immature to get it though.

What did the kid from Sixth Sense say when Hannibal Lecter farted?

I smell dead people.

Jordi

Jordi~~ That looks close, but I dont think so. I did a google image, and the leaves aren't the same. The JoJoba grows in sets, attached at the base, all in the same direction. My plant has them in off sets..

But I did learn it's native to where I'm at!! That was fun! :)

Thanks,
JoJo

I'm a huge seed collector and KNOW I've collected this seed before! I just can't remember where or what it's from! And that's frustrating!

here's my contribution:

Why was Tigger looking in the toilet?
He was looking for Pooh!

yes, you can revoke my joking privileges now.

hadrain, this is too much! LOL!! I think we can let you keep your priviledges for a few more days though..LOL!

Mike I'm still here! ROFL! ;)

:-)

tj

Here's another that's just ridiculous...I think I may be risking my joke priveleges here.

What's green, has 4 legs and would kill you if it fell out of a tree?

Give up?

A pool table. It's funny, 'cause you wouldn't expect it to be in a tree.

Bri.

O.K.

Here's one for you all...

Why are there so many Smiths in the phone book??

Because they all have phones!!
He he...

JoJo

And the way I heard it...

Why don't cannibals eat clowns?
Because they taste funny!

Then the boyfriend felt a fart and he tried to hold it, but a little 'pfft' slipped out.

His girlfriend stopped momentarily to say "Rover get out from under the couch"

He soon felt another and believing she would blame it on the dog again let it out just a little louder than before.

Again his girlfriend stopped and said more firmly "Rover, get out from under the couch!"

'This is great' he thought. 'She's blaming it all on the dog'. So he let another one out as loud and stinky as he could.

She stopped and yelled "Rover get out from under the couch before he s***ts all over you!"

The man gets out of the car, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but what are you doing?"

The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."

"How?" asks the man, puzzled.

"Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize . . . to people who are out standing in their field."

An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting on her long life, when--all of a sudden--a fairy godmother appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
"Well, now," says the old lady, "I guess I would like to be really rich."

*** POOF *** her rocking chair turns to solid gold.

"And, gee, I guess I wouldn`t mind being a young, beautiful princess."

*** POOF *** she turns into a beautiful young woman.

"And for your third wish?" asks the fairy godmother.

Just then the old woman`s cat wanders across the porch in front of them.

"Ooh--can you change him into the most handsome prince for me?" she asks.

*** POOF *** there before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.

She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear:

"Bet you`re sorry you had me neutered."

Neutering is only the removal of testicles, and not the same as castration, which would really be a sad thing for the newly poofed princess!

A little Viagra, and ***poof*** off to the races they go! ;-)

I ruined your joke... I'm sorry... I'm a dog breeder, so it struck me a bit differently, is all. Carry on... really, though, it was funny! :-)

Ok... I'm leaving... ;-)

Jodi,
Having once had many cats, I can tell you, the few that were fixed, Neutered, lost all interest in my not fixed females.

Wouldn't even give the girls a second look! LOL!

So knowing that, maybe the joke will have a whole new meaning for you... :)

by the way.. I will be emailing you soon! puppies on the way any day and have questions...:)

JoJo

Josh

How many country singers does it take to change a light bulb?

5

One to change the bulb, and 4 to sing about how much they will miss the old one!

Poof, I am gone...lol

When's the due date, JoJo? Dogs are usually 62-64 days gestation... although, like humans, they sometimes don't stick to the schedule! You'll need to gather a few items beforehand... clean towels that you don't mind getting stained, surgical gloves, hemostats, very sharp scissors, an infant aspirator, a couple of changes of bedding (like old sheets or blankets)... and you'll need to get some Oxytocin and hypodermic needles from your vet, mainly as a clean out shot, but it may be needed before that if contractions stop and manual manipulation and other techniques fail.

Got a whelping box or a birthing spot all ready to go? Yes, please do email me... we'd be happy to help. :-)

Why did the blonde have a sore belly button?
She had a blonde boyfriend.

How does a blonde turn off the lights?
She shuts the car door.

Why do people tell blonde jokes?
To confuse brunettes.

A man goes to the doctor & is told he only has 3 months to live. "Oh my god!" he yells, "is there nothing you can do?" The doctor thinks a moment then says, "well, you can move to the middle of Kansas and marry a Jewish American Princess". "What?" asks the man, "how will that prolong my life?" "Well", replies the Doc, "it won't. But it will seem like an eternity!"

Tally HO! (I never was any good at being politically correct)

Bri.

PS. TallyHO- i haven't forgotten about that euphorbia i promised to ID for you. we just haven't had any club meetings recently. but our next meeting is this thur and i will bring mine in and have it ID'd and let you know.

A nuetron walks into a bar and orders a drink.
The nuetron says,"How much do I owe you?"
The bartender says, " No charge."

Also in regards to the seed ID, we have tons of those things here in the midwest. I know its some kind of nut. A hickory of some sort, perhaps a pecan. I know the nut is edible. That suckr is going to grow like crazy thats for sure.

The lawyer persists and explains how the game works, "I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me, and visa-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The chauvinistic lawyer figures he will easily win the match since his opponent is a blond, so he makes another offer, "Okay, how about this. If you don’t know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $50."

This catches the blond’s attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?"

The blonde doesn’t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer. Now it’s the blond’s turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"

The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the airphone with his modem and searches the internet, from wikipedia to the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to everyone he knows, with no success. After over an hour of searching for the answer, he finally gives up.

He wakes the blond and hands her $50. The blonde politely takes the $50 and turns away to get back to sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little frustrated, wakes the blond again and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer?"

Again without a word, the blond reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

There are 3 women running from the law. One is a brunette, the second is a redhead and the third is a blonde. They run into a barn and hide in empty potatoe sacks, one girl per sack. The officer enters the barn, looks around and sees the sacks. He kicks the one with the brunette in it and she meows like a cat.
'Just a cat' says the officer.
He kicks the sack with the redhead in it. She clucks like a chicken.
'Just a chicken' says the officer.
He then kicks the sack with the blonde in it.
'Potatoes' she yells.

Another blonde joke for you (I'm allowed to make as many as I want 'cause I'm blonde and yes...I do have my blonde moments).

A blonde is dating a man with a convertable. He turns on his blinkers and asks her to check and make sure that they are working.
'Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no' she replies.

Hi Everyone! Sure am enjoying all this!! Great fun!

Linda~ I look here first too!

Beachplant~ I will try and get new pics today~ :)
My mom is blonde, i'm brunette, so I guess that leaves me just totally lost! LOL!

When I do something dumb, I tell people i have blonde roots because mom is blonde.. he he...

Plant junkie~ Thanks for joining in too!

I dont think it's a pecan, we have tons here. It does'nt have a hard shell like a nut, just the dark skin you see spliting.
And sprouted in about a week, just seems too fast for a nut.

A. Half wits.

Q. If a blonde and a brunette jump out of a plane without parachutes, which one will hit ground first?

A. The brunette, because the blonde has to stop for directions.

Why did the blond throw out half her M&M's?
Because she thought the "w"s were defective.

How do you know a blond's been on your computer?
White out on the screen.

Blond gets a thermos for Xmas and asks her equally blond boyfriend: How does it know when to keep things warm and when to keep them cold? He ,of course, spends an hour looking for a switch.

And I've noticed... it makes life a little bit easier. Before I began dying my hair, I couldn't get help if I paid for it... after becoming a blonde, men clamored to help out! Why is this? I'm not complaining, mind you... I just find it a little... I don't know... too stereotypical?

Great jokes... more, please! ;-)

I agree, am starting to think it may be a vine. Still puzzled about that huge seed, and such a little plant. LOL!

It's growing at an almost scary fast pace. I'm waiting for hubby to put a lock on the plant room door! LOL!!

Have a great day!
JoJo

It's growth slowed way down. I'll try and get some new pictures of it over the weekend.

It hasn't eaten anyone yet, so that's a good sign! ROFL!!

JoJo

...and the penguin said "Rectum? It nearly KILLED him!"

Kevin

Well said! My idea since Jan. 6th.
Jordi

I am going to take the plant down there this week and ask them though.

Sophie,
I really have no idea what you mean by dicotyledon. I did a google search, and it showed a lot of plants, none of what I have..

Could you explain a little more.

Thanks
JoJo

I did a search for Loquat, and neither the seed or the plant match this.

The Loquat seed has a very flat side, this doesnt.

But thank you very much for trying.

JoJo

Jordi

I'm just not sure.. sorry... even hubby doesn't think so. I made him look close even with a flashlight when he got home yesterday.

Is yours fuzzy,? It looks like it in the pic. Mine isn't fuzzy in any way. I tried to get pics yesterday but it was windy.

Yours is a much brighter green too.

I really appriciate your picture. I will certianly look more into the chance of it being a JoJoba.

I am sick and don't know if I will make it to the nursury like planned.

Norma,
Your funny!! Imagine how I feel, it's in my house..LOL!!! Your safe for now, but if it escapes you will be the first to know..LOL!

JoJo

JoJo

Norma,
I appriciate your offer to send pics to John. I will get you some in an email soon. Thank you!

And thanks to all who have helped with this!

JoJo

Jordi

Jojoba!

Josh

You mean, that's what I emailed you four months ago, right, noting that there's not a little amount of coincidence between 'JoJo' and 'Jojoba', or, as we say in Jaramillo, 'Hoho' and 'Hohoba'?

Jojo..I remember this thread!! I was wondering for days what ever came of your plant..Do you still have it?

It must of gotten a whole lot bigger since your last post..

Mike:-)
