thanks for the encouragement, Dee!

That reminds me, last year, while cleaning up my back stairs in December, i found 3 unplanted bulbs in the bottom of the box my Queen of Nights had come in.

So, we stayed in on new year's eve, and i got the idea to plant them at midinght - kinda symbolic of the new year - you can't give up on beauty, sometimes you just have to try to make it happen even when it seems unlikely. i didn't really think they'd grow, but i didn't have the heart to throw them away.

Lo and behold, in May, there were sprouts, and i wound up with 3 white tulips. So sometimes even hopeless efforts pay off with beautiful results - though they may not be the results you were expecting!
