How many more days till spring?? Here are a few from today. it was a bright and sunny day, but cold. Here is only the second bloom for me on June's Joy. it had tons of pollen so i crossed it with high voltage, black dragon and a very nice red, called howard hine. I feel like the matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof  Louis     |

Charlie, thanks for the compliments! This was my first attempt at water drop photography, they were way out of focus. I will try and try again. And show you my progress!

Mike, I'm so glad you posted The Path. I love that one. I got that plant back in July from another vendor. It was a poor graft, and since, has not grown or given me any blooms. I think it may turn around soon though as I am starting to see some buds form. It has never looked happy. Yellow veining, sappy leaves..... Great bloom though, thanks!

I like seeing The Path come back from time to time. It was our best seller for about 5 years when we first started the online store. It's been a good parent, too, but I think we have improved the overall qualities of what I call the multicolored yellow group so do not grow The Path much these days. Over time the growth habit and flower output of those like Simple Pleasures and Rainbow Sherbet and many others multi-yellows make them more desirable for me to grow. Still, The Path has a very pretty flower that has wide appeal - men, women, and orangoutangs all seem to like it.

I had a nice relief from my winter doldrums today. I haven't really been getting blooms but my Pocahontas did have a bud that opened today. She and Haute Couture weren't doing so well, so they've been spending the winter in the sunniest window possible. On a clear day this window gets an hour or two of direct sunlight. Pocahontas, HC, and of course Creme de la Creme got the best seats in the house this year. Here's the bloom from today. I love this flower! |

Wow, that Pocahontas will clear out the Tule Fog with those warm, distinctive colors!
This was a long stretch without any blossoms. Many of my plants lost a majority of their leaves but it looks as if all of them have turned the corner and new growth is appearing all over. It didn't help that I moved several of them to make room for the 2011 order.
These aren't the most spectacular but it is my first ever Scarlet Beauty bloom. This one bud has been slooooowwwwly growing for several months now and finally today...

Thanks Kristen and Farmer D. I can't wait for this one to get bigger. David has had some great Pocahontas photos, which actually prompted my purchase of this cv.

Kerry, those macro shots were taken with my Canon 100mm macro 2.8 I got it like 10 years ago when I was a Canon girl. Working at the newspaper switched me over to Nikon. They handed me a whole set up. But now I own the 7D, 24-70 f/2.8 L USM, 70-200 f/4 L IS USM, and for a flash I went with the 580 EX II. That flash is serious! I am looking for a wide angle right now. I shoot weddings and my sports with it. Cant wait for that one!!!!
I am looking to get the 580 EXII also .... I have to many things on my to buy list haha |

Me too! I dropped some mad cheese lately. I got that whole setup I told you about above for my camera and lenses in January. And on Monday, I bought a new Macbook Pro... Now I need to get more photo gigs I guess.
