Lee, when do your cyps bloom? Our acaules and parviflorums bloom on Memorial Day weekend so it's easy to remember.

Oh, ours bloom around the middle of March down here. It usually happens as the daffodils start.
I know that the red-breasted grosbeaks arrive as the dogwood leaves are opening.
Probably with your being so much farther North than we is the difference in bloom time, wouldn't you think?
Ok. Owen's nephew died on March 1st and there were no blooms but just a week or two later they were sending up spikes and had buds. As a matter of fact, when he died, it had snowed the night before and there was about an inch or two of snow on the ground. So, that's how I remember that but before he died, I didn't correlate the times of the blooms but his death stuck in my mind as did the blooming of the cyps.
Does any of this make any sense? I'm rather scatter-brained after spending about 1 1/2 hrs here in this room whilst ATT Support Plus did a tune-up of my compt.
Lee.

Not fun!
We all have our landmarks in life to figure out time and space.

Yes, I don't suppose I've ever thought of it using the words "figure out time and space" but you have spoken with profundity.
I read in the 13 pages of peoples' questions, thoughts, input into the ATP that you said you were tired and you simply must be worn out. I didn't sleep last night, so do you think we've run up against the wall as a athlete does and are starting to get morose this afternoon. After hearing of the new site for the first time today, I suppose I'm tired from having done that and all the questions and opinions I have in my mind but as you know, it's usually best for me to try, simply try to just keep my mouth shut until I've had time to evaluate things for a while.
Your male fox southern friend, Lee

Yah. I was just ready to take a nap all day yesterday but didn't. I get overwhelmed by things when I'm overtired. I did manage a long bath, and a friend and my sister called today so I'm quite chipper again. Thanks for caring Lee. Garden today.

Beautiful, Kathy! What is the gorgeous JI?

It's called Eternal Feminine.

Boo, I'm glad you are feeling better and I hope that soon your vim and vitality return. Lee

I am bringing a student I worked with for 8 years to my house today. It's her graduation present. She is so excited! She loves roses and there are many in bloom.

Boojum, Glad you are feeling up today. What a grand tour she is going to have, very envious. Eternal Feminine.is such a special blue. Help, who is this? Patti

The Opuntia in your garden is still at it! Nice! Mine were done some time ago.

Can you make an announcement that the what else do you grow forum did not get moved, Kathy?

Happy to see it got moved. Can the duplicate thread be deleted, Kathy?

Ohhhhh, I am so happy this thread was moved too!!!

Well a bit rocky like my soil but we're back on track!
I will delete the other thread now.

Thanks, Kathy!

The move was a little like a Startrek transporter glitch. I hope I was the only one in angst to have my parts in 2 places! We are one body once more!
