I finally have blooms from my garden! I picked a small bunch for my room last night:
The bright red tulips and the yellow tulip were from my uncle's garden when he divided his bulbs. The dark red tulips are supposed to be 'Ile de France' tulips, and the daff, King Alfred. Pussy willow branches behind.
And my calla:
I can't remember what I bought, but I was pretty sure it was a pink/purple/white blend. But I don't really mind the colour, I really like callas! This one bloomed really fast, only ever grew one leaf and then a bud. I have another calla outside with a bud but it hasn't started to show colour or open yet.

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

I know I keep posting tulips, but I can't get enough of them! Plus, they are the only thing blooming here right now, aside from daffodils, and the osteospermum that I bought in bloom.
AHA! Thanks for the "heads-up", Lynne! I didn't know you'd been posting lovely pictures here!
You always have such a nice touch with your flowers, too.
Kenny ~ great pictures!

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Thanks Lynne! I didn't realize it was that big, just resized it...
Enrique, little oranges already? wow, do you eat the oranges or are they just like ornamental to look at?

Kenny--I wish I either knew how to polinate my orange tree or that it would wait unitl I could put it out to flower.---by the time I can place it out all the flowers will be spent.--

I've never had to hand pollenate stuff for fruit/seeds but I have tried with success. Have you tried maybe fanning the tree so it disperses the pollen? I think oranges are single sexed trees, so you may need more than one tree. I'm guessing since it flower's it's probably a female. Most male trees that I know of don't put on flowers, they put on catkins or the like, but I seriously have no clue about oranges. sorry I couldn't help
