I like all of your bulbs. I have a few, but I think, next year, I will have more.~~DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-35953205798365797912009-01-09T08:24:00.000-08:002009-01-09T08:24:00.000-08:00One of our nuns in HS used to claim we girls were ...One of our nuns in HS used to claim we girls were "as slow as molasses in January", which in Illinois would be really slow. That array of bulbs in their lovely vases should help you make it through the Molasses Months, EAL! <BR/><BR/>Down here we grow 'Grand Primo' and amaryllis outside, where they bloom but are attacked by squirrels, cold snaps, falling branches, and insects. <BR/><BR/>This year I bought a new amaryllis and potted a few <BR/>'Grand Primo' bulbs. I want to watch them grow on the windowsill, close-up and uneaten.<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-79249199883238424772009-01-08T11:11:00.000-08:002009-01-08T11:11:00.000-08:00Hi Elizabeth,I'm an academic physician (formerly a...Hi Elizabeth,<BR/><BR/>I'm an academic physician (formerly at Harvard and Stanford) who found your blog while looking for the best health writers.

It will be my first full winter here, but can't say I wasn't warned. January seemed like it was flying until I realized today we're barely cresting the first week...I will enjoy your bulbs since the paperwhites I tried last year smelled too weird to do again. BTW, what's in the cloche/cake stand thingy? It's cool!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-48017233735634788072009-01-07T17:22:00.000-08:002009-01-07T17:22:00.000-08:00My narcissus bulbs are taking their sweet time, to...My narcissus bulbs are taking their sweet time, too.
