Today's flower picture...
Mar. 24th, 2010 11:58 amI found an online forum for amaryllis/hippeastrum and learned that my Pathmark Rescue has a name -- Apple Blossom! I think that third flower will open some time today.
I'm hoping that the hippeastrum parade will last through early April. The nopalxochia parade shows every indication of doing so. Then there's the Easter cactus that belonged to my brother and that seems to have set a dozen blooms or so.
The back yard still looks pretty dismal but I see hope -- a little cleanup, a few pansies, and some mulch will make all the difference. Oh, and new leaves on things, too! After an afternoon spent cleaning up I'll be ready to take some pictures.
Ten impatiens seedlings have broken through the surface, many of them in the past 24 hours. If I get a dozen I'll have all I need.
The marjoram seedlings look great under grow-lights; both of my sage cuttings are growing lustily and I even think the real plant may have overwintered; I have a milk-jug planter ready to receive my soaked parsley seeds.
I have seven variegated basil cuttings -- four just rooting in, and three under grow lights. Plus one in the bottle with just the beginnings of a root.
( Addendum: more of the same )
