Madison was at awe with the Plumeria bloom and it warmed my heart to see her run throughout the yard and discovering all that is blooming and new to her.

Beautiful Amaryllis, mine got too tall this year also. Brrrrrrrrrr is right! Here in San Antonio we are expecting the coldest weather in 40 years. We might not get above freezing on Friday! Many of the plants I brought in a few weeks ago are sprouting new leaves. The first hard freeze snuck up on us and I accidentally left the Duranta out and thought it was dead, but now it's sprouting new leaves. Even one small Brug cutting that got left out is now sprouting from the bottom even though the top is shriveled. We'll be moving the Christmas lights over to the plants that are too big to bring in.

Wow! Isn't it great to start thinking of anotehr garden season!!! For a change I actually got to just a bit of the cleanup this past fall. Can't do it right now as its all covered with 3-4' snowdrifts.....out of sight, out of mind - LOL Lucy- glad you got to have Maddy over the wknd. Our G'son is just a block away but now at (almost)10 spends more time w chums than G'ma and I. Pulling into the driveway last night I could see him running home...all flailing elbows and knees in snowgear and boots...never walks, always running. Paused in the drive to watch-LOL. What a joy they are! All the projects remind me of similar needs in my yard but I think I'm going to be investing most of my money in larger containers for all the cuttings which were shared with me this fall.....on top of the 'herd' I already had accumulated. Yaaayyy. Maybe I've 'turned the corner' with both my bronchitis and attitude. Y'all have gotten me ready to start thinking about 2010 much more postively. Will

OT' POTD: My 1st time growing a Morning Glory Tree

Beautiful Lucy! I'm jealous! Yes they make seeds, that is how I started mine last year. Karyn, I don't know if I sent you seeds, I don't remember if mine made any seeds last year..I thought I only shared cuttings. But I may be wrong?? Too many plants, not enuf brain capacity, lol. I had 2 trees I wintered over, but they didnt make it, and the cuttings I stuck in the ground early spring from those trees, still look exactly the same..they havent grown, havent put on new leaves or anything..they just sit there like they are fake..still the same little leaves as in spring. I didnt fert them at all..maybe that's why. I sent cuttings to a couple people..I am pretty sure Mike was one of them, I think I sent him 2..I wonder how his are doing? I think I am going to dig mine up and get them into pots today, fert them, maybe they'll start growing. I know they def wont make it if I try to overwinter them as small as they are right now. Maybe I can get them a little bigger before the frosts hit.

Daniella you are right...everything else fades when she is here

Caren I think that is great..I am sure Maddy will show her a great time. Maybe this Oma can take them to the city playground or where ever when Mommy gets the house set up.
