Hello Sue,
The employees were placing the fresh cyclamen on shelves just as I went
through the doors and got my cart. Must be close to Valentine's Day.... I
meant to go back and pick up a pot and forgot it in all the excitement and
rush or grocery shopping. I only have one orchid left in bloom now here in
the window by the office desk.... need those fresh blooms.....
I have had snowdrops on my list for years now and never seem to get
around to making arrangement to get some while they in active growth.... The
largest old clumps I have seen of those were at the old Ball estate in
Muncie, Indiana..... one more bug bite to scratch.....
