What do you say?
My Ginger started to grow this kind of thing. Is it a flower-bud or what?
Sorry the bad pic:(
Ginger is going to bloom I think.
YESSSSSSS!
Oh really?
If it is, gosh I'm happy. They have so beautiful flowers.
This is Zingiber officinale.

Great!
I will do that;)
You are sooooooo,lucky!!I have never seen one bloom!
suppose we are even root...I've never seen snow...LOL(did that make sense?)..I guess what I meant to say is this..I get to see gingers bloom and you get to see snow. Wanna trade for a bit? I'd love to play in the stuff and you could stop and smell the gingers!hehe
I'll Sase you for some.LOL!
Gosh, this is not even on year old. I bought a piece of root from foodstore and planted it. And now it is going to bloom..Funny...
Hmm, what can I say about snow?:
1. It is cold.
2. It is cold.
3. It is cold
4. It is cold.
5. There is a lot of it every winter
6. There is a lot of it every winter
7. there is a lot of it every winter
8. There is a lot of it every winter.
9. It is hard to walk and cycle in it.
10 It goes to in you shoes and then it feel cold and your socks are all wet.
Maybe this tell's all what you need to know;) :D Hehehe.
Mitjo, but it sure is pretty. The closest thing we have to snow here is the sand beach!
I know what you mean about the snow Mitjo. I lived in Tennessee 7 years and we had enough snow.
I loved it though and miss it alot. But our snow would thaw and be gone awhile then snow again. So I never got sick of it.
Where you may have snow on the ground for months. I would get sick of it to if like most folks in the north when they have to shovel snow off there roofs,drives and walkways.
I have a friend from Minneapolis and she said if she never saw snow again it would be too soon.......LOL..She really had some stories to tell. I agree it can get to be too much. New snow is beautiful but old snow that is dirty and muddy is ugggly.......... :o)

We have snow 5-6 months usually..
