Determined seedlings
Comments (1)Isn't that a great winter present! I had some fall germination of my ET Hellebore seeds which had been sown last January. I am hanging on to some of the pots, never know what they will do come spring and another round of winter dormancy. I also has received some other seeds last summer which I was starting to give up on but low and behold germination is beginning!...See MoreFlowers in my garden
Comments (31)Anna, thank you! it is so nice to hear from gardening friends, it makes everything worthwhile! Ricky, thank you! your garden is beautiful in a professional and classy way, mine is in full sun. One week is not enough to see Ecuador, the beaches, the Amazon, the mountains, the Galapagos. We were in Quito one week and it flew between the museums, the churches, the Old Town, the artisan markets, the parks, the botanical gardens, the zoo and the food!

She mailed off photos of my cousins as children and/or their parents to the appropriate cousin. I posted quite a few photos on Facebook and tagged my cousins so they could, hopefully, enjoy seeing our Grandmother and other relatives.
