loz Unregistered	Nice Barb. All of mine are up and blooming now, a mix of yellowy orange ones and purple ones, oh and a few white ones too. Aren't they cheery to see? Makes you really want spring to hurry up and get here.

OP dodge Hot Rod Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 21,848 Rural - Western Pennsylvania	Thanks Loz, Your right.. I want to start pushing spring. I have lots of flowers popping up but hope the snow won't blap them out... My indoor flowers are just doing great . I have lots of blooms to keep me content.. But I want to get rid of the boots and go sneakers. PS... My horse isn't here, this is my Nitemare..

loz Unregistered	I hope the snow is all over now! I have flip flops on today. It's 60 degrees here right now. BTW, I have a bunch of African Violets all blooming inside right now, nothing like some flowers inside to cheer you up thru winter.

tkhooper Official Taste Tester Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 12,160 triangle, virginia	I have 3 purple crocuses blooming right now and I love them. They are escapees from the lift last fall. All the rest are bagged up for the move. I have white, purple and white striped and the purple. But I don't have any of the orange. And I would love to add them to my new garden. I've put an offer in on a trailer and some land but it isn't a done deal yet. I wish it were.

I have a large planter full, praying they survived the winter Helping the world one seed at a time When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

tkhooper Official Taste Tester Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 12,160 triangle, virginia	well anyone with the yellow/orange ones that want to trade for purple let me know. I'm willing to send my three purples for three of the yellow/orange ones. I can't wait to see the daffodils bloom nothing yet well I have buds so I know they are trying. I've had one striped crocus come up in the middle of the bed I cleared how he managed to elude me is a puzzle. But it's ok. They multiply really well here so I have many bagged up.

Just barely points in the soil so far but they are there. I'm always happy when that happens. I have 2 daffodils that have bloomed so far and many many more to go. And the hycinth have buds already but no flowers yet. The tulips have put up leaves but that is it. I'm anxious to see which ones survived. I think I have a couple of freesia coming up i'm not sure since I've never grown them before but I can't think what else I might have planted there. No sign of the glads yet.
