I never understand why I can grow a great vegetable garden but flowers are a bit more difficult for me. Now that I live in a new state, learning what will grow here drives me batty. I'm used to southern gardening and now I'm more in the west. The sad part? I try to plant all my things that I would in the deep south. It doesn't always work and I do get sad about that. Usually whatever it is that I'm trying to grow is a throwback to something that reminds me of my mom. When it fails, I simply have to figure out a way to make it work here. Sometimes I just stupidly do not know when to give up and go on to something else.

Propagation. If I propagate something I always do at least twice as much as I want, so I won't stress out, if some fail. And as I care for the 8 or 12 little rootless pots of hope, I have always had at least half do just great, and root up as they should within the estimated time my research said it would take.

Orchid......I see the pretty flowers and it is the middle of winter and they just jump in my cart.

I remember one jumping out of my cart as I rolled it to the checkout. I think it jumped out because It was not close to the edge and it jumped out of the cart and hit the floor. Since it did not run I picked it up and put it back in the cart.
