I got to go back to spring when I was in St. Louis last weekend. Tulips blooming all over the place making me remember just why I loved them so much when I lived up north. I've pretty much given up on them down here as you have to chill them for 6-8 weeks & then when they bloom it's starting to get hot so the blooms only last a couple of days. Also loved all the flowering cherries, especially the weeping variety. We can't grown them either. However, I came home to all my roses in their first magnificant flush of bloom, the daylilies starting to bloom as are the first crinums. Of course, the weeds have also taken flight, but right now everything is just too pretty to believe.

Verena, don't feel too bad, I'm being visited by the little green Visa bill :0 I've still got roses coming! Online shopping is sooooo fun... but guilt ridden. Sierra, I don't know about your lilies in particular, but my Lily Nook instructions say that some species lilies have tiny bulbs. I went out and planted them all after work - what a beautiful day. Oh and also in my LN instructions pamphlet - light was shed on a question I had last year... my two Asiatics "Corrida" started growing, then one collapsed into black mush and disappeared. I found out from the pamphlet that this is caused by botrytis fungus and that the plant should grow back the next year - well I couldn't see this happening since it utterly died back to the ground when it was just starting to grow. But today I went and looked, and both of them are coming up again. They are starting to make babies too! :0) Joy!

You all should have seen me. It is raining here like crazy, and I am out there in my house shoes, dancing all over the deck and singing "I have sprouts, I have sprouts, Yeah!!!"
My DH was standing in the foyer watching me and giggling and softly shouting (if you can do that) "mama has sprouts".
He sat in the kitchen with me this morning while I Wsed some seeds. I have only 8 so far (13 varieties of plants though!)But there is so much more to come!

Thank you all for celebrating with me. It IS so exciting to get those first sprouts!!! I love it!

Congratulations! Isn't it great to get those first ones as a newbie? Makes you feel like you're not following a "crazy group of jug-lovers" after all. ;-)
