Re: e-mail, lets get some going

Good idea!

My hibiscus are blooming their heads off in the greenhouse. I'm delighted,
since this is prime hybridizing time and I'm busy crossing every hibiscus
bloom in sight. 

My bouganvillas are just beginning to bloom. They will put on a couple of
flushes between now and early April when I prune them back and move them
back outside. I nervously hit them pretty hard with the Osmacote last
spring and anxiously watched all the lush green growth all summer, thinking
maybe I would pay for it with reduced bloom this winter..But they look
beautiful and are bursting with bloom.

African violets still blooming, but with lower sun angle and less light are
slowing down for the winter. They seem fairly happym though, if african
violets can be happy..
