I thought these were awfully pretty when I saw them in the Park Seed catalog, but I couldn't see paying $3.50 for seeds plus $7.95 shipping and handling. So I crossed my fingers and went to the seed vendor at the Flower Show. Who had them, from Thompson & Morgan, a packet of 50 seeds instead of 30.

I had saved the two plastic containers that held the two mixtures I used for meat loaf last week -- they nested inside each other nicely, so one can double as a pot saucer. I sowed the seeds today, which has some sort of deep significance, I suppose, as it's the last day of the Flower Show.

I spent a couple hours on the show floor this morning, shooting some things over. Between using the burst and bracketing the exposures, I think I captured 6-10 images for every frame I wanted. And I still have two do-overs on my list, although one is just capturing a label on an orchid and the other isn't exactly essential.

If they're allowing exhibitors to start the tear-down right after the show closes, I'm going to help out Michael Bruce.
