Dalfyre - it is hard to think of needing a dog sweater for the critters here in CA - but I guess it is still cold where you are.

Instead of bringing a new arrangement to work this week, I added a few longer stemmed naked ladies, and added a few cycad leaves. The flowers from last week were still good - just had to go through the pinch off the spent blooms. Each stalk has about 10 buds, so as some dies, others open. They make great cut flowers Candee - you should give it a try.

The cycad that I have is getting huge - these leaves are about 4 ft tall.
