There will be no Class of 2013

All of this year's hippeastrum seedpods have aborted. I must say I'm sort of relieved -- I don't know what I'd do with any more. My 'papilio' from Valerie isn't looking like the picture of health, either, but better light out back when the weather warms may make a difference.

Other than that, garden life is good. I even bought two more plants this season, from our local Flower Show exhibitor (need to support those exhibitors). They were a little overpriced but gloriously healthy -- a hot pink pelargonium (of the ordinary windowsill variety) that seems to glow, and a white-and-pink verbena that will look good in a decorative pot, crawling around under said pelargonium.
