Oh, Coleup---
You wax so poetic....Beautiful comments and pictures.
Many people just may not understand the "love affair" many of us have with our Gardens...
Like---I have written two pretty beautiful Poems to mine......;o)..You all have read them...

Yesterday's cool, overcast, drizzly day was perfect for moving some of my plants outside.
I decided that all the HB.'s had to go out for a good breath of fresh air. They AIN'T coming back it!
My 3 BIG Epis--and 3 new ones--progeny of the BIG ones--my 2 Spider HB, and my Swedish Ivy HB.
Brugs have been sitting outside for days--in my stairwell. The dr. will have to have some
'surgery"---scalpel, please!!! It will need a serious root-pruning. And--I KNOW what that means!
it will grow monstrous this summer....It already has a pretty massive stem. Woe be me this fall!
Of course--it will have all this space to spread out in--since my WS is gone.

All my seedling plants and all the rooting cuttings have now bee n outside for several days.
My Coleus--my Daturas--and all my CC's--are outside as well. I n the care of Mother Nature--
but lovingly shaded...front steps ans patio tables. Some are in a bit of sun...
Will plant my Tomatoes and Cukes this weekend. Will also plant all my cannas.
SO much to do!!!!

Time to "cut the apron strings".....Gita

did I post my 1st camellia bloom yet? There are about half a dozen by now....SO pretty!!!
