Dear Zuzu,

Happy birthday and wishes for another year of your gorgeous roses so you can share the photos with us.

Here are some 'Shocking' lilies for your rose bouquet.

Edited to say: Oh no, I'm a day early! Happy Saint Valentine's Day, too!

Happy Birthday, kiddo.

I hope the cats make you a delicious dinner, and wait on you hand and foot all day long.

Oh, Pirlie, my Pirlie -- you are a caution. You're not the only early bird, it seems. That dinner and a movie with friends I told you about yesterday turned out to be a huge surprise birthday party, so the anticipated tacos and margaritas were accompanied by a delicious chocolate rum cake.

Thanks, everyone, for the Valentine's Day wishes and the early birthday greetings and gorgeous photos.

Happy Birthday.

This time it really is my birthday. Thanks, everyone, for the kind wishes and the wonderful photos. WC, that beautiful sunny hibiscus is the very essence of summer, and now I really can't wait to get my hibiscus plants back outside where they belong. Thank you, Sharon, I think it's working. All of my wishes do seem to be coming true this year. At any rate, so far it's been a grand improvement over 2007, my personal "annus horribilis."

OK...now I want the gory details of how many margaritas you had, how you made it home, and if you actually made it IN to the house !!!

I love this picture so much I am using it on 2 of your birthday threads. And Pirl, Zu is truly The Rose Queen!!

Hope today is just beautiful for you, dear Zuzu!

May 2008 be your annus mirabilis!!

This is Kell's photo of Dorthy Perkins from Plant Files. I understand it is a photo from your rose garden. I used it in my article Skyscape Roses where it has inspired dreams of giant roses for many more rose lovers.

Thank you Queen of Roses. May this be one of many wonderful days.

Happy Birthday again Zuzu! Didn't realize Pirl started a day early!

Sebastopol, CA(Zone 9a)

Oh, boy -- more wishes. Thanks, Schickenlady, Eleanor, Yankee, and the cats. And double wishes from Pixie and Victor. Wow!

Gloria, I'm sure your article inspired more people than any photo could have, but thank you very much for the nice compliment.

JD, I only had two margaritas because I had been planning to work that night. Things ran late, though, and by the time I got home I decided not to bother. It was a great party, and a genuine surprise. I thought I was just going to a friend's house to watch a chick flick. I had expected five people to be there, but it was more like fifty. I actually was a little hungover in the morning, but I'm blaming that on the cake. I'd hate to think I'm getting too old to have two drinks.

Kelley, I love that picture too. I think you should use it in every thread from now on. It will be a good year, if for no other reason than my wealth of friends. Besides, I'm on Medicare now. No more staggering health insurance premiums.

I wish you guys would put the names of these roses with the pictures !!(please???) lol

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

Mine is Bob.

Long Beach, CA(Zone 10a)

Al...seriously?

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

C'mon, Mike!

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

I don't know mine - it's from a florist. I'm sure it's been colorized some anyway.

Long Beach, CA(Zone 10a)

Well, if they can name a daylily "Millie Schlumf" they can name a rose, "Bob".

(Believe it or not, I actually tried to look up "roses named Bob" ).

OK...so I was blonde as a kid...

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I'm sending you to the NE Forum orientation!! (If there was one.)

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

I'm just here for the hazing.

Greensboro, AL

O.K. here's another one for ZuZu.

Greensboro, AL

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Should be a companion 'Bing' one!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

JD is Mike.

Calvert City, KY(Zone 7a)

OK, another for ZuZu....
You guys, leave Mikey alone, blonds have more fun.

I was once blond.

Calvert City, KY(Zone 7a)

Then you should know, Victor.
Now that you are no longer blond, what are you?
