Do you recall those tiny irises (or is it ires or irii) that we saw up in the mountain that that ancient whale had tried to jumped over? Remember I said I had never seen such tiny flowers in my entire life? Well this year they popped up in my own garden where I had planted them several years ago! And there are mini-daffodils, too. The hyacinths in my yard are scrawny looking this year although they had bloomed so spectacularly last year. I wonder if that is a result of breeding or GM by the garden flower industry? They produce flowers that grow spectacularly ONE year so that you have to buy new ones each year. I heard that if you want a heritage tulip you have to pay $25 for ONE bulb which comes up nicely every year. The new varieties are more beautiful and much cheaper (though not cheap) and need to be considered annuals! Last fall I planted some exotic bulbs in my yard and had a few extra so I stuck them in my neighbor’s yard. Not a trace of them in MY yard and the ones in my neighbor’s are doing great. I fly to Hong Kong and then to Bali on the 23rd. I have a tentative “love connection.” set up. That is the ORIGINAL (tawdry) meaning of love connection, not the stupid romantic TV show. Bali is full of flowers and there are arrangements everywhere. I put some of the plants outside that I had been harboring inside all winter. I know I’m pushing the season a bit, but I’m so horny for the spring. I think it will be OK. The ones I put in the window box on the porch look nice from a distance, though not so great close up. rcc
Beautiful capture.
