OK, now who's going to sing KT's jingle and post the MP3 for our listening pleasure? Bill, who needs gifts under the tree when the tree itself is none other than P. parvifolia?

Pat thank you so much for the Holiday wishes. Going right back for you also and the gorgeous pictures. I LOVE IT!!! Hope you have a wonderful 2010 and that we can share many great moments with our love to brugs, together. Lucy

Okay thank you John. Back to my original problem? The lower leaves on my tree do look much better but the branches are still a little brittle.So I aM spritIng very well and now I remembered I'm supposed to spitz underneath the leaves so I'm doing that too. A few leaves are still curling bit and verry few healthy leaves fall off. In the past that ment it needed water I thought. This Morning I watered It, bumped one of the oranges and it fell off. Tonight I bumped it a little and another orange fell off. Both oranges are soft. I put The oranges in a ziplock plastic bag in the refrigerator. The one from this morning was still soft. Any ideas? when I watered alot of water came out, I let the tree soak for about 25 minutes

What a beautiful picture Julia. Hope you have a great holiday season, too.Mine is off to a bad start already. One of my daughters sent me to the eye Doctor to have my eyes checked and fitted for new glasses for Christmas, I have been wearing these I have for at least 10 yrs, and have got to where I cant read the paper with them, so she was going to get me some new ones for Christmas. Well, the eye doctor wouldn't prescribe new glasses. Said I have Cataracts on both eyes,and right one being the worse,and wanted to schedule me to go have them removed right away, I told him not so fast dr,I never rush into anything without thinking it over awhile. He asked me 3 times if I have had a stroke and 3 times I told him no I have not..I guess because I was walking with a cane. don't know, but he sure was fixed on the stroke idea.he has sure scared me to death with this surgery idea. and especially when he says they don't put you to sleep for it,as it only takes about 15 minutes.My daughter was in there listening to him and said later he acts mighty queer to her, like he might be on some thing. I have no idea, but, I want to ask questions about any surgery on my eyes before anything is done.he did tell me I could go blind if its not done,and that scares me even more,as all I think about now is spring and seeing my daylily blooms again and being on the forum to see every one elses, too. Have a very merry Christmas Julia and a happy new year. Jean
