Thank you, Elizabeth. I, too, know it is going to be a great year! Those are my wishes for you. Re hybridizing, the ovaries of the flowers which I pollenized are decidedly swelling, which I take to mean that they will produce seeds. Of course all the rest still has to happen. It's a lot of fun. mac

Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2013, only good things ahead!

May you all have good health, loved ones and good friends, appropriate work that you love, interesting things to do, a measure of prosperity, a spirit of concern for others, especially the less fortunate, a curious and adventursome spirit ... and may this year bring the fulfillment of at least one of your long-held (or recently formulated) dreams ... .... and the envisioning of some new ones! And may you assess at the end of this year that you've developed into a finer you. Sent with affection, ole joyful

Thank You Buehl! Wishing everyone a healthy, happy new year and much success at our kitchen renovations for those of us contemplating or in the throes of it.
