Cindee - my apologies for being so derelict in wishing Dennis all my best -- actually both of you. Was not on for a few days and didn't even realize he had had surgery. I'm sorry he's hurting and wish him a quick recovery. Hang in there. I'm glad you live down there where it's warm. To everyone - Just love those pretty pictures. Thanks to everybody for posting. I simply cannot tell you all how much I appreciate seeing these gorgeous blooms. I got addicted back in 1999 or 2000 when I bought a ton of bulbs from Garden.com as they were going out of business. They were the really good ones like Snow White. Then they rotted from the rain here in NJ (the "Garden State" - ha!) and I ended up with very small bulbs. They just kinda hung out for a few years because I got discouraged, but last summer I took really good care of them and it shows. With all of your "help" I'm more addicted than ever and have close to 200 bulbs (small ones included) so I'm like a runaway train now. Someday, as they bloom, I'll have spares to share (i.e., there's a whole pot of several) - just need to confirm what they are. My new Pink Floyd is just sitting there sleeping, but someday he'll wake up and smile at me. Jodi (and others whose bulbs are growing now) - Keep up with their feeding schedule and keep checking in and adding to your "long" list as you see ones you would like to order in the fall.

Stacey, I saw them too, just this weekend. I was at the local Evil Empire, visiting the WalMartians. Well, actually, I was getting Dad's prescriptions filled, he uses Walmart over my protests. Anyway, they had little sugar eggs, I think 97 cents each, piped with different colors and with little bunnies, chicks, ducks, etc. inside. Yeah, I know, but it took them a freakin' hour and a half to fill that blasted prescription. I shoulda gone out for coffee! Annie

Thanks, Nancy, and a "Merry Easter" to you and Kim! Tami, 5 years? I was told 3 years, but I couldn't get the stuff to even grow one year. The first time I planted it, it was by the butternut tree. I didn't know then that butternut trees give off the same juglone that black walnuts do, and of course it didn't grow. I planted some more here in town out by the pool, but it never came up at all. I tried at the farm again, in the far back of the pasture by the pond, but nothing, maybe the cows ate it, but I wouldn't think so. So, three times and nothing, but you know I have to try again. I also need to get some of that lovage that Nancy gave me, I liked it a lot and now I have a place to plant it where it an just settle in and get comfortable, out at the farm. Annie

I should have photographed all the pages. A version of Ricky's was listed remember called something '...in a Hat'. Finishing the toasted cut-out piece on top to serve. I really like all the South American egg scrambles. This book was discussed at work so we all shared our favorites. A Brazilian and a Venezuelan I discovered like the same 'variegated'. Similar to the country style pic above. (my Brazilian friend calls them variegated). Makes sense. Pan medium, melt a small pat of butter. Crack in pan two eggs, turn down heat to low. Cook low and slow until whites solidify, no crispy edges. Yolk still tender runny. Add tbsp fresh salsa, chopped avocado...or any handy veg, spinach, etc., a bit of crumbled queso or feta. Stir folding so the egg white and yolk yellow are not a fast scramble...variegated. Even just a simple quick egg I prefer this way. A bit of dill is nice. I like the flavor of the yolk even if partially cooked.
