Whats New April 2012

I love them because the bulbs are small and easy to plant.They dont need to be as deep as the large cups.
Minnows and Bridal Crown #1
#2 Bridal Crown
#3 minnows and Bridal crowns.

The seeds were put to germination 11 days ago. They are already starting to get their 1st set of true leaves and almost 2" high! I dont know how I grow them so fast. And they aint tomatoes !!

sat these bulbs on top of my house plant in the bay window last year.. found the bulbs way after christmas and they sort of bloomed in the bag.. guess they like it there

The mini daffs stay upright, Jo...I like that! Sherrie....you have pepper babies! Very pretty color on the amaryllis, Allison....

Nice Allison! One of the 1st things I noticed Sunday. :)

not sure if it's one you sent.. or I bought

???

Nice, Jo, love the daffs, big or small.

Sherrie, great job on the seedlings. I would love to have a place to start seeds.

Allison, I love your amaryllis. They are such gorgeous flowers. I have not been successful in getting mine to rebloom this year. I thought they had been dormant long enough. Started watering them again, but they just put up leaves and no buds. Maybe they need to be in the cellar during their dormant time.

Pixie, Brian must be a very calm soul for that Finch to stay wit him.
Didnt Brian play a big role in Sophies life too,brief tho it was?

Yes Jo, he did.

I would say he seems like a calm soul!!... I know our meetings have been brief.. but he does come off as a relaxed kind of guy

The bestest kind to have. The finch felt safe.

Animals know where they are safe.....

So happy for your blooms, Celeste
Yes, Brian does seem like a very calm soul

This is what I ordered http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/IRPB.html they don't carry many Iris and no others that were dwarf, do you think their supplier sent them the wrong ones???
