i'm so scared something will happen to the ones brugie just sent. the ones i got from cala were seedlings, and they're doing great...taking forever to grow one centimeter taller, but they're healthy. cuttings make me nervous...especially when i only have one of a kind to grow...grow it or loose it forever...the stress!! haha!!

i don't think i posted pics of the ones i have, cuz i don't believe i knew how to use my camera back then, and getting the kids to take pics of my flowers is impossible!! then the really bad floods and winds came, and tore them up, broke a bunch of branches, filled with flower pods, of course, then i started growing like mad, and made my bed look lop-sided, so i cut them back, probably slowing down the third flowering until now. lost only two branches in the last storm.

i will send you rooted cuttings next time...i think i know how now, at least i have been somewhat successful, about 40 percent, anyways. i can't wait to try that horizontal method!! that's totally cool!! my yellow one is a rich yellow with a strong citrus fragrance, and my pink one is a very soft pink, with an equally soft, kind of sweet citrus scent, if that makes any sense. my new one from jim, with the deformed flower pods, is supposed to be yellow, but might be pink cuz he got them mixed up too...i guess i'm not the only one who does that!! hahaha!!

i'm gonna have pictures for you very shortly, though, cuz all three trees are about to bloom any day now!!!! yippie!!!

oh, by the way, ma vie, are peach trees supposed to be blossoming now? my peach tree is blooming, and my plum tree bloomed about a month ago...am i confused, or are my trees? hmmm...maybe both?
