Ginny Mitchell greeted me this morning. Only one picture turned out.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Beautiful blooms, Tom!

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Thanks, it seems like it's going to be a fast and short season. Stalks up all over no matter if they are early or late.

The bloom season was early here and ended earlier than usual. I have one about to open on what is supposed to be La Scala. All of the others are finished. I am silly glad to have this one bloom waiting to open.

Beautiful Tom!

Raspberry Swirl, Make Mine Magic and Fancy Dress will be on an order list one day.

Ginny Mitchell aborted her flower stalk and is among the several that bloomed (well it tried to bloom) and didn't produce any increases.

I don't think that's silly at all, Bonnie! As a newbie, I'm tickled pink to have just 3 blooms!
